Eyelet curtains
A contemporary heading that provides large, even curtain pleats
Made-to-measure curtains offer a bespoke finish, and the style of curtain header you choose makes a big difference to the way your curtains drape at the window and how well they fit in with the rest of your décor. Wave header curtains offer contemporary looks and a neat and stylish finish. Here we talk you through exactly what wave curtains are and how to style them in your home.
'Wave' refers to the header of the curtain. A wave header allows the curtains to hang in regular, uniform folds. This type of header needs to be fitted to a special wave track, which is slim and discreet. The overall appearance of this curtain and track combination is simple and contemporary.
Curtains are an effective solution for reducing heat loss through your windows. All our curtains are lined as standard, but for a chilly room, a blackout lining or thermal lining made from a thick satin twill will keep you even cosier. In fact, we recently worked with the experts at Salford University to understand just how much our products can help prevent heat loss. The results from their specially created lab, the 'Energy House', showed that lined curtains reduce heat loss by 14%.
For even more warmth, pair a lining with a naturally thicker curtain fabric like velvet to keep your space snug and super stylish too.
Yes, you can choose a blackout lining for all our curtain fabrics, with the exception of our Voiles.
Our made-to-measure blackout curtains will help reduce the light coming into your room and will also help to reduce heat loss, so your room will be nice and snug.
Wave curtains are ideally suited to bifold doors, and in modern extensions with large doors and wide windows.
As they pull right back to the sides, they will expose the full glory of your doors or window and frame your view beautifully.
This simple styling also shows off large pattern repeats to their best advantage, so if you’ve got your eye on a statement print or a design, then a wave header style is for you.
If you are particularly short on space or want to create an elegant look, your wave curtains can be fitted to the ceiling instead of the window frame, making your windows feel taller and grander than they really are.
The unstructured style of a wave header means that your curtains fold up really neatly when they’re fully open. So, if you have a limited amount of wall space either side of your window, wave curtains are an ideal choice.
