Eyelet Curtains
What are eyelet curtains?
Eyelet curtains - sometimes known as ring top curtains - are a chic yet functional detail for stylish interiors. Suspended from sleek curtain poles, eyelet curtains offer an additional touch of subtle sophistication to any quality curtain you select from the website. Moreover, these elegant curtains are easy to fit with the pole effortlessly sliding through the premade eyelets! Eyelet curtains add broad, soft pleats, creating a consistent waved effect in a curtain making them suitable for traditional and modern homes alike.
The best colours for eyelet curtains
Eyelet headings work in a broad range of colours, patterns, and styles. Here are three of our customers' favourites!
The best eyelet curtains for different rooms and style trends
From dining rooms to bedrooms, eyelet curtains are an excellent choice, adding both functionality and style to a space's interior decoration. The ability to match your given fabric with a quality curtain pole allows you to be more daring with eyelet curtains than some alternatives. From black curtains with gold poles in the living room, to red plaid fabrics with a dark wooden pole, eyelet curtains work best in the following fashionable interior design trends:
Minimalist interior design
Minimalist interior design is all about reducing fuss and clutter from furnishings and fabrics. Eyelet curtains are the perfect addition because they are the pinnacle of function. While they look classic and trendy, eyelet headings don't add anything to the body of the curtain like other headings. This helps to keep a minimalist feel in any curtain.
Japandi Spaces
Since japandi interior design is built on a minimalist foundation, eyelet curtains are the perfect addition to the decor. Capturing the scandi half of japandi, curtains help to add a feeling of hygge in a home but the extra detail added by alternate heading styles could detract from the minimalist look. A soft grey eyelet curtain with a natural wood pole is a perfect example of elegant japandi design.
Art deco decor
Spots, circles and rings are key elements of art deco inspired spaces and the eyelets found at the top of eyelet curtains perfectly capture the energy of this trend. In art deco, decorators are encouraged to mix patterns and prints and eyelet headings give you the ideal opportunity to do so with your curtains. For best effect, find a colourful geometric pattern with plenty of sharp angles, then contrast those with the perfect circles found at the top in your eyelet heading.
How to hang eyelet curtains
Eyelet curtains are very easy to hang, simply thread your curtains onto the pole et voila, your striking new curtain will transform the feel and decor of your space. For more crisp pleats, you can gather the curtains and secure them with a soft piece of fabric, then leave overnight.
