THE PRODUCT, EXPLAINED
What are eyelet curtains?
Eyelet curtains have a row of reinforced rings set into the top of the fabric. A suitable curtain pole passes through those rings, creating broad folds that alternate in front of and behind the pole. Both the pole and eyelets remain visible as part of the finished design.
Their straightforward appearance suits many contemporary and informal rooms. You can coordinate the eyelet finish with the pole and other metal details, or choose a subtle finish that lets the fabric take priority. The folds provide a clear vertical line without a gathered tape or stitched pinch pleat.
The pole diameter and eyelet size must be compatible. Brackets and passing points also affect how far a curtain can travel, especially across a wide opening. Eyelets are not a direct substitute for curtains on an ordinary glider track, so we will check the intended fittings before confirming this style.
DESIGNED AROUND YOUR HOME
Three decisions that shape the result.
Folds & fabric
Eyelets arrange the curtain in alternating folds around the pole.
Access & limits
Support brackets, finials and the number of panels affect how the curtains can be drawn.
WHERE IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY
A confident finish for everyday rooms
Contemporary bedrooms
Eyelets make the pole a visible part of the scheme and produce broad, unfussy folds. They suit bedrooms with straightforward lines and a clear colour palette. Match the ring and pole finish deliberately to other details, such as lighting or handles.
Living rooms
A textured plain or bold colour lets the folds show clearly. Eyelet curtains can look particularly settled at a simple rectangular window with enough wall space at either side. Check how the curtain passes the brackets and how easily it can be drawn.
Where to look at alternatives
A complex bay, a concealed track or a motorised track calls for a different arrangement. Eyelets need a suitable pole passing through the heading, so they are not a direct substitute for a track-mounted curtain.
YOUR OPTIONS
Bring the pole into the design.
Choose the visible details together.
The pole passes directly through rings in the curtain fabric. Ring size and pole diameter need to be compatible, and their finishes should be considered as a pair. Think about other metal details in the room without feeling that every finish must match exactly.
A broad, uncomplicated drape.
Eyelets arrange the curtain in alternating folds around the pole. Fabric weight influences how those folds hang and how easily the curtain moves. Discuss the desired fullness and finished drop, including the small amount of fabric that extends above the eyelets.
Check the route along the pole.
Support brackets, finials and the number of panels affect how the curtains can be drawn. A complex bay or a concealed motorised track usually calls for a different heading. If you have an existing pole, confirm its dimensions and support arrangement before ordering eyelet curtains.

What affects the price?
Size is one part of the picture. Your choice of fabric, the amount needed, pattern matching, construction, hardware and fitting requirements all contribute to the quotation. A more detailed finish or a motorised system can change the scope.
Share an approximate budget and the number of windows or pieces you are considering. We can help you understand the options and decide where to focus the investment. An initial estimate is a starting point; the final price follows the agreed measurements and specification.

Your questions, answered.
Can eyelet curtains run on a curtain track?
An eyelet heading is designed for a compatible pole passing through the rings in the fabric. It is not a track heading. If you prefer a concealed or motorised track, explore a suitable sewn heading or Wave system instead.
