FAQs
Are these curtains suitable for all seasons?
While the warm, winter colours and insulating lining are particularly beneficial during cooler months, the stylish tartan design can be enjoyed year-round. Their primary benefit for warmth makes them excellent for autumn and winter.
What type of curtain rod is required?
These are eyelet curtains, so they require a curtain rod. Ensure the rod's diameter is compatible with the eyelets, typically up to 35mm, for smooth movement.
Are these curtains blackout curtains?
No, while the polycotton lining offers good thermal insulation and will reduce some light, these curtains are not designed to be full blackout. They will filter light and enhance privacy.
How do I clean these curtains?
The curtains are washable. Please refer to the care label for specific instructions, but generally, a gentle machine wash or hand wash is recommended. Avoid high heat during drying and reshape while damp.
Will the colours fade after washing?
Following the recommended washing instructions will help maintain the colour integrity. Always use cold water and mild detergent, and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive sun exposure during drying.
Can I use a steam iron on these curtains?
Yes, a steam iron or garment steamer can be used on a low-to-medium setting to remove creases, particularly on the cotton face. Avoid prolonged high heat directly on the lining.
Troubleshooting
Curtains appear creased after unpacking or washing.
Gently iron the cotton face of the curtains on a low-to-medium heat setting, preferably while the fabric is slightly damp. Alternatively, use a garment steamer to smooth out wrinkles effectively.
Curtains do not hang evenly or smoothly on the rod.
Ensure your curtain rod is perfectly level and securely installed. Check that each eyelet is threaded onto the rod correctly, alternating the fabric fold to create an even pleat. Adjust the distribution of the fabric along the rod until the desired look is achieved.
The curtains don't seem to block enough light.
While the polycotton lining provides insulation and some light reduction, these curtains are not designed for full blackout. For enhanced light blocking, consider combining them with blackout blinds behind the curtains.
Colour appears slightly different than expected.
Fabric colours can sometimes appear different in various lighting conditions or due to screen calibration. Ensure you view the curtains in the intended room's natural light for the most accurate perception. Washing according to instructions helps maintain colour vibrancy.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Easy to Install: Eyelet design makes hanging simple and quick.
- Enhanced Warmth: Lined fabric helps insulate against cold drafts.
- Classic Aesthetic: Tartan check design adds timeless style to interiors.
- Easy Maintenance: Washable fabric simplifies cleaning and upkeep.
- Durable Materials: Constructed with a 100% cotton face for longevity.
Cons
- Specific Rod Requirement: Only compatible with curtain rods, not track systems.
- Pattern Matching: May require careful hanging to align patterns if using multiple pairs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack Curtains: Carefully remove the curtains from their packaging. It's recommended to gently shake them out to release any initial creases.
- Install Curtain Rod: Ensure your curtain rod is securely mounted above your window frame. These eyelet curtains require a curtain rod, not a track system. The rod's diameter should be small enough to fit through the eyelets easily (typically up to 35mm).
- Thread Eyelets: Starting from the outside edge of the window, thread each eyelet onto the curtain rod, alternating the direction of the fabric through each eyelet to create an even, pleated effect.
- Position Curtains: Once all eyelets are threaded, adjust the curtains evenly across the rod. Ensure the outer edges are positioned correctly against the wall or finials.
Compatibility
- Curtain Rods: These curtains are designed exclusively for use with curtain rods. They are not compatible with curtain tracks or other hanging systems.
- Room Decor: The warm, winter colours and tartan design complement various interior styles, including traditional, country, and rustic themes.
Care Instructions
- Washing: The curtains are washable. For best results and to preserve fabric integrity, follow the specific washing instructions on the care label. Generally, this means a gentle machine wash or hand wash.
- Drying: Avoid high heat. Line dry or tumble dry on a low setting to prevent shrinkage or damage to the lining. Reshape while damp.
- Ironing: If creases occur, iron on a medium setting on the cotton face, ideally while slightly damp, or use a steamer. Avoid prolonged direct heat on the polycotton lining.
- Storage: When not in use, fold neatly and store in a cool, dry place to prevent dust and creasing.
