Do Eyelet curtains help control heat?

Yes, all our made-to–measure curtains can help you retain the heat in your room and help to banish draughts. The curtains work by reducing the amount of air exchange between the colder windows and the rest of your room, which is warmer. Heavier curtains are more effective at insulation so it makes sense to choose a thicker curtain fabric such as velvet, along with a thermal or blackout lining. Your local advisor will give you expert advice at your in-home appointment to find the best solution for you, your space and your budget.

Do Eyelet curtains let light in?

All of our made-to-measure curtains are available with a blackout lining, which will reduce the amount of light coming into your room. However, the way eyelet curtains are made and fitted means light can seep through the eyelets and around the edges. This can be minimised by layering with a Blackout blind or by choosing a different header for your curtains. Your advisors will be able to advise on the best solution for your room.

Can Eyelet curtains go on any pole?

Our eyelet curtains are designed to fit on to a 28mm metal curtain pole, available when you buy any curtains from our range. Your local advisor will fit it for you, so you don't have to worry about getting it right - it's all included in the price!

Crittal windows

Curtains are the perfect solution for dressing Crittall windows and doors like these. They can be fitted to tuck back to the sides of the Crittall glass, revealing the glory of the frame and keeping the open feeling between the spaces. Curtains can be closed for privacy or if the sunshine ever gets too much and they’ll even offer that extra bit of insulation to keep a room cosy over winter.

Serene sheers

These sheer Voile curtains in Lyndsey's dining room beautifully complement the vibrant colours on the walls and in the accessories. A stylish solution for French doors, sliding doors and bi-folds, Voiles create a striking finish without taking away from the view. They're ideal for dining areas and other rooms that are overlooked, as you can keep them closed during the day for much-needed privacy and they'll still let in plenty of natural light.

Orford White

Versatile voiles

For flexible light control throughout the seasons, team curtains with sheer Voiles. In summer, the Voiles allow light to gently filter through your doors while maintaining day time privacy. In the evening and during cooler months, your curtains will add an extra layer of cosiness.

Oriel Sepia

Curtains are a great way to disguise the architectural details of a room, especially if you've got large expanses of glass, by immediately softening any harsh lines and instantly making your space feel more cosy and intimate. Make a sustainable choice with the Oriel Sepia fabric made from 100% recycled polyester, part of our Abigail Ahern collection.

Oriel Sepia

Wise words from a Hillarys advisor

"If your room is overlooked but you want to make the most of natural light, layering curtains over faux wood blinds makes for a stylish double act that keeps things private during the day while gently filtering the light into your room."

Alto Linen Mirage Charcoal Faux Wood

Patterned eyelets

Modern and contemporary eyelet curtains like these will make a dramatic feature of your window thanks to the deep folds of fabric, which run in uniform lines from top to bottom. Eyelet curtains always hang from a curtain pole, which is threaded through metal rings, providing minimalist and contemporary looks.

Nora Putty

Crittal door curtains

“The doors in my living room are single glazed and the windows are the original Crittal windows so I needed something that would help insulate the room. My curtains do just that, I love the texture, they’re really heavy so are great at keeping out the draughts.”
