What Are Eyelet Curtains?

Eyelet curtains are a modern alternative to traditional curtains and offer a practical solution to hanging your own curtains. In place of the standard heading tape, they feature metal rings which are to be threaded onto an eyelet curtain pole. These rings give the curtains larger, soft pleats which look extremely modern and chic whilst allowing them to be opened and closed smoothly and with ease. Our ready made eyelet curtains are available in a range of different fabrics including blackout and thermal fabrics as well as different colours and lengths to suit your individual specifications and preferences.

What Is The Difference Between Eyelet Curtains And Pencil Pleat Curtains?

The main difference between eyelet curtains and pencil pleat curtains is their heading and how they are hung. Pencil pleat curtains can be hung on either a track or pole, whereas eyelet curtains can only be hung on a pole. This typically makes eyelet curtains easier to hang, as they simply slide onto a specific eyelet curtain pole. Another key difference between eyelet curtains and their pencil pleat equivalent, is that pencil pleats tend to have smaller, more unformed pleats, whereas eyelet curtains have larger, softer pleats resulting in a more contemporary look.

How To Hang Eyelet Curtains?

The beauty of eyelet curtains is that they are simple to hang. If you already have a curtain pole in place there is no need to purchase a new one - you will just need to remove the curtain rings. However, you can also choose to purchase new stylish eyelet curtain poles if you prefer. All you need to do with eyelet curtains once your pole is in place is to remove the finials (which hold the curtains in place), then thread the eyelets through. Don’t forget to check they are the right way round! You can make it even simpler for yourself by folding the curtain first and threading in one go; however, this is personal choice. Then simply choose whether you would rather conceal the bracket with a pleat or have the entire curtain sitting inside the bracket; again, this is personal choice. You can then decide whether you would like tiebacks to complete the look.

How Practical Are Eyelet Curtains?

Eyelet curtains are very practical due to how easy they are to hang and in their application. Their practicality doesn’t end there, however; they are easy to open and close as their design enables them to smoothly run along the pole without risk of them getting caught or stuck on a track. You can increase the practicality of your eyelet curtains by choosing certain fabric types for specific rooms in the house. For example, blackout eyelet curtains make a very practical and stylish choice for bedrooms.
