Whitworth Stripe Pair of Lined Eyelet Curtains - Rose - Striped

No, these curtains are fully lined, which provides enhanced privacy and light filtering, softening the incoming light. However, they are not designed to be blackout curtains and will not completely block all light.

You will need a standard curtain pole. Eyelet curtains are designed to be threaded directly onto the pole. Ensure the pole's diameter is compatible with the eyelet rings for smooth movement.

Measure the width of your window (and the pole if already installed), and multiply it by 1.5 to 2 for a good gathered look. For length, measure from the top of your curtain pole to where you want the curtain to end (e.g., sill length, below sill, or floor length).

Info needed: Always refer to the care label on your specific curtains for detailed washing instructions. Generally, 100% cotton lined curtains may require professional cleaning or a very gentle, cool machine wash to protect the fabric and lining from shrinking or damage.

Info needed: Typically, eyelet curtains do not include tie-backs as standard accessories. If tie-backs are desired, they usually need to be purchased separately.

As with most fabrics, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some degree of fading over time. To minimize this, consider rotating your curtains or using blinds/sheers underneath during peak sun hours.

Fully lined means there is a separate layer of fabric sewn to the back of the main curtain material. This lining provides a better drape, enhances insulation, offers increased privacy, and helps protect the main fabric from sun damage, contributing to the curtains' longevity.

Check that your curtain pole is perfectly level. Re-distribute the fabric evenly through the eyelets to ensure consistent pleating. If the issue persists, measure the drop from the pole to the floor at various points to confirm the pole's levelness.

Many cotton curtains may have creases from packaging. Use a fabric steamer to gently remove wrinkles while the curtains are hanging. Alternatively, iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side, being careful to avoid pressing the lining too hard, as per care label instructions (Info needed: confirm ironing guidance).

Ensure your curtain pole extends adequately beyond the window frame (typically 6-12 inches on each side) to allow the curtains to fully cover the window. When closed, push the curtains as close to the wall as possible. Consider using a wrap-around curtain rod if side light leakage is a significant concern.
