The Ultimate Blackout Plain Woven Eyelet Curtains - Yellow

These are a pair of eyelet curtains built around one job: blocking out the light completely. The fabric is a plain, textured polyester weave, double-faced so it reads the same soft colour from the street as it does from your side of the glass. The warm yellow shown here is even and calm across the drop, with a subtle woven texture that catches the light rather than reflecting it flat. The eyelet header slides straight onto a pole, so there are no hooks, tapes or gliders to fuss with. This SKU is the 229 x 137cm pair, and the range runs across eight sizes from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm.

Because the fabric is fully blackout, these earn their place anywhere you want the room dark on demand. A child's bedroom is the obvious one, where a lie-in on a bright morning depends on the window doing its part. They suit a main bedroom for the same reason, and a snug or a media corner where daytime glare on a screen is the enemy. The photographs show them against a soft green wall with checked bedding and natural wood, and the yellow sits happily in that kind of warm, unfussy scheme rather than fighting it.

The blackout comes from a hidden interlining sandwiched inside the double-faced construction, which is why the reverse looks finished rather than showing a white backing. Polyester is a hard-wearing fibre that holds its shape, resists creasing and does not fade quickly in a sunny window, so a curtain that spends its life in direct light stays looking right for longer. Measure your pole width and your desired drop before choosing a size, since eyelet curtains need a little extra width for the folds to hang properly. If your scheme leans warm and relaxed, this yellow pairs naturally with green and natural tones.

Do these curtains actually block all the light?

Yes, the fabric is rated 100% blackout with a hidden interlining, so with a good overlap and generous width they will keep a room genuinely dark.

Is the price for one curtain or a pair?

This is sold as a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels in the box ready to dress a single window.

What size should I choose for my window?

Measure your pole width and the drop you want, then pick from the eight sizes running 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, allowing extra width for the folds.

How do eyelet curtains hang on the pole?

The metal-ringed eyelet header threads straight onto a curtain pole with no hooks or tape, falling into even vertical folds for a neat finish.

Does the back look as good as the front?

Yes, the fabric is double-faced so the same colour shows on both sides, meaning the curtains look tidy from outside the window as well as inside the room.

Will polyester fade in a sunny window?

Polyester is a hard-wearing fibre that resists fading and holds its shape well, which makes it a sensible choice for a window that gets a lot of direct light.
