How it's made
How eyelet curtains work
Tap a number to see what each part does, and what you'll be choosing at your appointment.
1. Eyelets
Metal rings through the heading sit straight on the pole, with no hooks or gliders in between — very little to catch or snag.
Your advisor brings samples of every option to your window, so you can see and feel them before you choose.
Why this range
What Blakeney does well
01
Built as blackout curtains
Cut and finished as blackout curtains for your exact window, rather than trimmed down from a stock size. The mechanism is sized to the drop, so it hangs straight and stays that way.
02
2 colourways to compare
Colour behaves differently in north light, in the evening and against your walls. Pick the ones you like here and your advisor brings those exact swatches to the visit.
03
Chosen for real rooms
Customers most often put this range in bay window curtains, bedroom curtains, door curtains — which is a better guide than any spec sheet.
Style notes
What Blakeney is like, and where it works
Blakeney is a plain textured range with a soft, slightly brushed finish, seen here as a roman blind in a deep charcoal shade and as a curtain fabric in a warm grey. It suits rooms where a quiet, tactile backdrop is wanted rather than pattern, from bedrooms to living rooms.
A plain, textured weave shown in a deep charcoal/black tone in the hero photo and a soft mole grey in the swatch, with a subtle brushed, almost velvety finish that catches light unevenly across the surface.

Ideas for your home
Made-to-measure roman blind for a dressing room or bedroom
Suits a room with patterned walls or busy furnishings where the window covering needs to stay calm and plain, alongside a dressing table or mirror.
The plain weave and soft charcoal-grey tone sit quietly against bolder decor without competing for attention.
Made-to-measure curtains for a traditional living room
Works well against dark woodwork, period windows and warm-toned furniture, where a heavier fabric pools nicely at the floor.
The linen-look texture and mole tone bring warmth and weight without introducing pattern.
Made-to-measure roman blind for a kitchen window
Suits a plain, uncluttered kitchen window where a neat, tailored blind is preferred over curtains.
A roman blind in this fabric gives a tidy, structured line to a kitchen window.
- Available in two colours: Donkey and Mole.
- Listed across several curtain headings and roman blinds, so the same fabric can be made up as either depending on the room.
- Some listed features such as blackout or thermal only apply to certain curtain or blind styles within the range, not necessarily every make-up.
