Eyelet Curtains

Sleek, Modern & Functional

Eyelet curtains feature metal rings (grommets) inserted into the header, creating perfectly even folds and allowing the panels to glide effortlessly along the rod. Ideal for contemporary and minimalist interiors, they blend clean lines with practical operation.

Key Benefits of Eyelet Headings

  • Effortless Movement:
    Smooth sliding on rods—perfect for high‑traffic windows and doors.

  • Contemporary Aesthetic:
    Visible metal rings add a modern accent and structured fold pattern.

  • Low Maintenance:
    Grommets prevent fabric wear at stress points and keep heading crisp.

  • Adjustable Fullness:
    Simply slide panels closer or further apart to control light and privacy.

Best Fabrics for Eyelet Curtains

  • Medium‑Weight Polyester Blends: Maintain shape around grommets without sagging.

  • Cotton & Linen Mixes: Offer natural texture for a relaxed yet polished look.

  • Velvet & Heavy Weaves: Provide depth and insulation—grommets reinforce heavy fabric.

  • Sheer Voiles: Light and airy, with grommets preventing fabric stretch at the top.

Pro Tip: Order free swatches to see how grommet spacing and fabric weight work together in your space.

Measuring & Installation Guide

  1. Measure Rod Length:

    • Include any finials; panel width = rod length ÷ desired number of panels.

  2. Measure Drop:

    • From rod top (or underside) to 1 cm above floor/window sill to avoid dragging.

  3. Grommet Spacing:

    • Standard: 8–10 rings per panel; center the first and last rings 10 cm from edges.

  4. Installation Steps:

    1. Slide each grommet over the rod.

    2. Distribute fabric folds evenly between grommets.

    3. Adjust panel positions for symmetry and full closure.

Styling & Décor Tips

  • Metallic Accent:
    Choose grommet finishes (brushed nickel, matte black, brass) to coordinate with hardware.

  • Layering:
    Hang sheers on a hidden track behind eyelet drapes for privacy and light filtering.

  • Tie‑Back Options:
    Use fabric or metal tie‑backs to draw panels aside and showcase your window view.

  • Rod Selection:
    Pick simple, sturdy rods—thicker diameters (25–35 mm) work best with eyelets.
