Start with the heading
Four ways a curtain can hang
The heading changes how much wall the curtains stack back onto, how deep the folds sit and, quite often, the price. Pick a style to filter the ranges below.
Eyelet
Metal rings run straight onto the pole, so the fabric falls in deep, even waves and draws with one pull.
Pencil pleat
A gathered tape you can tighten to suit the window. The one heading that works on a pole or a track.
Pinch pleat
Pleats hand-formed in groups and stitched to hold. The most tailored option, and the one that stacks tightest.
Wave
A continuous S-fold on a corded track. Clean and contemporary, and it needs a proper wall run to stack back onto.

Explained
Eyelet curtains, explained
Eyelet curtains have metal rings set into the top of the fabric, so they slide directly onto a pole and fall into broad, even folds. On this page, that means made-to-measure curtains in a wide mix of plain weaves, velvets, geometrics, florals and voiles, all available with an eyelet heading. They suit people who want a straightforward, modern heading that is easy to open and close and looks neat without much fuss. Your advisor can bring the full sample range to a free home appointment, measure each window and leave an itemised written quote.
Eyelet curtains tend to suit clean-lined, modern and relaxed interiors, but the heading also works well with richer velvets, traditional florals and soft neutrals if you want an easier, less formal finish.
Best for
- A simple, contemporary heading on a curtain pole
- Rooms where the curtains will be opened and closed regularly
- Plain fabrics, velvets and bold prints that benefit from wide, even folds
- Pairing curtains with a blind fitted inside the reveal
- Living rooms and bedrooms where a softer finish than blinds is wanted
Worth knowing
- Eyelet curtains run on a pole, not a track
- The stack can sit wider than the glass when open, so nearby wall space matters
- Very sheer voiles and heavier blackout-lined fabrics will hang differently, so it helps to see samples at home
How to choose
- 1
Start with the room and the light
Think first about what the curtains need to do. A bedroom may suit blackout lining, while a sitting room or dining room may be better with a standard or thermal lining. If you want to soften daylight rather than block it, ask to see lighter curtain fabrics and voiles.
- 2
Match the fabric to the heading
Eyelet headings give broad, regular folds, so plain textures, velvet, jacquards and larger-scale prints all read clearly. In this filter the sample ranges run from quiet neutrals and brushed weaves to stronger geometrics, botanicals and richer velvet finishes.
- 3
Check the pole and the space around the window
Because eyelet curtains sit on a pole, the finish depends on the pole as well as the fabric. Consider how far the curtains can stack back when open, especially by doors, radiators or furniture. Poles and tracks can be supplied and fitted, and your advisor will confirm what suits the window.
Eyelet curtains: questions people ask
Do eyelet curtains work with blackout lining?
Yes. Many of the ranges in this filter also appear as blackout curtains, so eyelet heading is not limited to lightweight fabrics. The finished curtain will simply hang according to the chosen fabric and lining, which is why seeing samples in your own room is useful before you decide.
Can I have eyelet curtains at a bay window?
Often, yes, but the pole arrangement matters. This filter includes several ranges tagged for bay window curtains, though what works best depends on the shape of the bay and how you want the curtains to draw. Your advisor will measure each section and confirm the most suitable setup on the day.
Are eyelet curtains suitable for doors?
They can be, and several sample ranges here are tagged for door curtains. Eyelets are easy to draw, which suits doors used often, but it is worth checking clearances around handles and nearby furniture. Your advisor can measure and advise on the best drop and finish.
Can eyelet curtains be layered with a blind?
Yes. A common arrangement is a blind fitted inside the reveal with curtains outside it. Eyelet curtains suit that look well because the heading stays simple while the blind handles privacy or light control. Your advisor can show fabrics together at the appointment so the combination feels balanced.
Are all the fabrics on this page modern in style?
No. Although eyelet is a simpler, more modern heading, the fabrics in this filter are mixed. The sample includes plain textured neutrals, rich velvet, geometric prints, trailing botanicals, jacquards and sheer voile, so the heading does not force the room into one particular look.

Why our curtains service is right for you
01
Sewn to your drop, not a size chart
Shop-bought curtains come in fixed widths and drops. Ours are cut to the pole or track you actually have, so the hem lands where you want it — at the sill, below it, or just breaking on the floor.
02
Enough fabric to hang properly
A curtain that looks thin is nearly always a curtain that was not given enough width. We work to a proper fullness for the heading you choose, so the folds stay deep even when the curtains are drawn.
03
The lining does the hard work
Standard lining for body and drape, blackout for a bedroom, thermal for a cold north wall or a single-glazed bay. The lining decides how the room feels far more than the face fabric does.
04
Poles, tracks and dressing included
We measure the wall rather than just the window, fit the pole or track level, then hang and dress the curtains so the pleats set in from the first day.
Finance options available. We offer flexible ways to pay so a whole-house refresh doesn't have to land in one go. Your advisor will talk you through what's available at your appointment.

What people hang behind them
Plenty of rooms end up with a blind as well as a curtain — for blackout, for daytime privacy, or simply because a radiator or window seat rules out a full drop.

Curtains: your questions answered
Headings, linings, poles and pairing curtains with a blind on the same window.
Which curtain heading should I choose?
Eyelet curtains run straight onto a pole and fall in deep, even waves — the simplest to draw. Pencil pleat is a gathered tape that works on a pole or a track. Pinch pleat is hand-formed in groups and stitched, which is the most tailored look and stacks tightest. Wave hangs from a track in a continuous S-curve and suits large modern windows.
What difference does the lining make?
A standard lining protects the fabric and improves how it hangs. Thermal lining measurably helps a cold or draughty room. Blackout lining is what you want in a bedroom. Interlining adds weight and body for a heavier, more expensive drape.
Do you supply the poles and tracks?
Yes, and your fitter puts them up. Getting the pole height and width right is part of the job — curtains that clear the sill and stack off the glass need the pole set beyond the opening.
Can I have curtains and a blind on the same window?
Very common. A slim roller or roman inside the reveal gives you blackout and privacy, with curtains face-fitted outside it for warmth and dressing. Your advisor will check the reveal is deep enough for both to work.
Is fitting included in the price?
Yes. The quote you are given covers the product, the fitting and the guarantee. Your fitter hangs everything, checks the operation with you and takes the packaging away.
How is a quote worked out?
By the size of each opening, the product and fabric you choose, the heading or mechanism, and any motorisation. Because everything is made to your measurements there is no single list price — you get a written figure on the day, itemised per window, with the fitting and guarantee included.
What guarantee do I get?
A 1-year guarantee on every blind, shutter and motor we supply and fit. If something goes wrong inside that period, ring the office and we come back out.
