Whitworth Stripe Eyelet Curtains - Fusion - Pink - Striped

Yes, these 100% cotton curtains can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. However, for best results and to prolong the life of the lining, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

You will need a standard curtain pole. Eyelet curtains are not designed for use with curtain tracks or rails. Ensure the pole diameter is suitable for the eyelet rings.

These curtains are fully lined, which helps to filter daylight, reduce glare, and offer privacy. However, they are not blackout curtains, so some light will still penetrate, especially around the edges.

Yes, Fusion offers other items in the Whitworth Stripe collection, such as filled cushions, which feature a similar multi-colour stripe design to complement your curtains.

The curtains are made from 100% cotton, providing a natural and soft texture, and they are fully lined for added functionality.

To determine the width, measure your curtain pole (not the window) and multiply by 1.5 to 2.5 for desired fullness. For length, measure from the top of your curtain pole to where you want the curtains to end (e.g., windowsill, below windowsill, or floor).

While high-quality dyes are used, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over many years. Using a lining helps protect the outer fabric. Follow care instructions, especially regarding drying, to maintain color vibrancy.

The full lining provides a degree of insulation, helping to keep rooms cooler in summer by blocking sun and warmer in winter by adding an extra layer. While not heavily insulated, they offer year-round aesthetic and practical benefits.

Hang the curtains for a few days to allow gravity to pull out minor creases. For deeper wrinkles, gently iron on a medium setting on the reverse side while damp, or use a steamer. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Check that the curtain pole is clean and free of obstructions. Ensure the eyelets are not catching on any pole joints or brackets. You can also apply a silicone-based spray lubricant to the top of the pole for smoother gliding.

Ensure your curtain pole extends adequately beyond the window frame. A general rule is 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) on each side to allow the curtains to stack back fully and cover the window completely when closed, minimizing light gaps.

Natural cotton can experience slight shrinkage (typically 3-5%) after the first wash. Always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying to minimize this. If significant, professional steaming might help relax fibers slightly.
