What are Eyelet Curtains?

Eyelet Curtains will become the centrepiece of any room with deep, uniform folds of fabric.

Eyelet is a style of header for curtains. They use metal rings at the top to attach them to your curtain pole. The rings will slot onto various-sized poles, and the curtains hang in soft, consistent folds that look clean and modern.

Benefits of Eyelet Curtains

• Eyelets provide a modern, clean look
• Eyelets are available in various sizes and colours, matching your curtain pole for a custom look
• Eyelet curtains match well with thermal and blackout lining to boost the efficiency of your home
• Eyelets look stylish when they are open and closed
• Eyelet rings make curtains smooth and easy to open and close
• Eyelets require less fabric than other curtain headings, such as pinch pleat. This helps you get the most out of larger printed fabrics, losing less of the design in the folds
• You don't need to buy any curtain hooks or additional fittings

Unlike some other headings, eyelets are a great option for smaller windows. When fully open, eyelets fold neatly into narrow uniform folds, limiting the amount of wall space that they cover. Eyelets are also the easiest curtains to hang, as you simply slide them onto your curtain pole. Paired with blackout lining, eyelet curtains can help to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer while also reducing the cost of your energy bills.
