Full details

The Marlow Velvet Blackout Curtains are designed for homeowners seeking a blend of elegance and functional light management in bedrooms, nurseries, or home offices. These curtains excel at creating a cozy, dim environment using 280gsm thick fabric that blocks up to 85% of light without chemical coatings, though they may not provide 100% total darkness compared to lined alternatives. With their thermal insulating properties and luxurious velvet finish, they serve as a practical yet sophisticated upgrade for any interior space.

FAQs

Do these curtains block 100% of light?

No, these curtains are rated to block 70% to 85% of incoming light.

Can I dry clean these curtains?

Dry cleaning is not required as the fabric is designed to be machine washed.

Are the tie-backs included?

Yes, matching tie-backs are included with your purchase.

Are these curtains energy efficient?

Yes, the 280gsm thermal insulated fabric helps retain indoor heat in winter and reflects external heat in summer.

Can I tumble dry the Marlow curtains?

Yes, you can tumble dry them on a low heat setting.

Do they contain chemical coatings for blackout?

No, these curtains achieve their blackout effect through the density of the velvet fabric rather than chemical coatings.

Troubleshooting

Curtains are wrinkled out of the package.

Lightly steam the curtains or hang them; the weight of the fabric will help release most wrinkles naturally over time.

Light is still seeping through the sides or top.

Ensure your curtain rod is installed slightly wider and higher than the window frame to maximize coverage and minimize light leakage.

The velvet texture looks flattened.

Use a soft-bristle garment brush or a gentle steamer to restore the pile of the velvet fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and soft velvet fabric construction
  • Thermal insulation helps improve home energy efficiency
  • Free of chemical light-blocking coatings
  • Rust-resistant eyelets ensure durability
  • Machine washable for easy maintenance

Cons

  • Blocks 70-85% of light rather than 100% total blackout
  • Velvet fabric requires careful handling to avoid permanent crushing
  • Limited to specific hanging method due to eyelet design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward due to the integrated rust-resistant eyelets; simply slide your curtain rod through the rings and hang. These curtains are compatible with most standard rod diameters. To care for your curtains, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach, as this can degrade the velvet texture. For drying, use a low tumble dry setting. If wrinkles occur, avoid direct high-heat ironing on the velvet pile to maintain the fabric's soft appearance.
