🪟 Everything You Should Know Before Choosing Eyelet Curtains

1. What are Eyelet Curtains?

Eyelet curtains feature metal rings at the top that slide onto a curtain rod. They provide a clean, modern drape and are easy to install.

2. How do you hang Eyelet Curtains?

Thread the curtain rod through the metal rings, starting with the first ring facing forward. Mount the rod onto the brackets once threaded.

3. What curtain rods work best?

Use a pole-style rod (28–32mm) that is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the eyelets. Wood or metal rods work best for smooth gliding.

4. Are Eyelet Curtains easy to clean?

Yes—most can be machine washed if they’re made from cotton, linen or polyester. Velvet or blackout styles may require dry cleaning.

5. Which fabrics are best for Eyelet Curtains?

Light fabrics like cotton or linen create an airy look, while heavier options like velvet or blackout fabrics provide privacy and insulation.

6. Do Eyelet Curtains block light?

Sheer fabrics softly diffuse light. For full darkening, choose blackout or thermal eyelet curtains to block nearly all sunlight.

7. Can I use them in any room?

Yes. Use sheer ones in living areas, blackout ones in bedrooms, or any combination in dining, study, or home office spaces.

8. How are Eyelet Curtains different from Pencil Pleat?

Eyelet curtains are sleek and modern with no hooks needed. Pencil pleat curtains have a traditional gathered look and require hooks or rings to hang.

9. What size rod should I use?

Use a curtain rod 28–32mm in diameter for 40mm eyelets. This ensures smooth operation without sagging.

10. Are Eyelet Curtains energy efficient?

Yes—thermal or blackout-lined eyelet curtains help regulate indoor temperatures, reducing both heat loss and cooling costs.

11. Do I need tiebacks?

They are optional but useful. Tiebacks help style your space and keep curtains neatly pulled back when open.

12. How do I stop Eyelet Curtains from sliding?

Use curtain rod stoppers or anchor the last eyelet with a discreet hook to keep the curtain in place.
