Quick shop for all types of curtains
Popular curtain headings
How your curtains attach to a pole or track will affect the drape and overall look of the curtains.
Eyelet curtains
Eyelet curtains hang in wide, even fold and work well with thicker and heavier fabrics. The punched metal rings at the top of these curtains slide smoothly and easily over the curtain pole for a smart finish.
Pencil pleat curtains
Pencil pleat curtains have many folds, each about the width of a pencil, to create a ruched, gathered look. Plastic hooks are attached along the header of these curtains, which attach to a track or pole.
Tab top curtains
Tab top curtains provide a neat, attractive solution for dressing your windows. They have a header of evenly spaced fabric loops, through which a curtain pole or rod can be threaded.
Types of curtains
When it comes to selecting the style, length and material for your curtains, there’s lots to consider. Are they being used to block out light? Insulate a room? Or to make the windows the focal point of your home? Here are the different types of curtains you can choose from.
Blackout curtains
Block out glaring sunlight or street light glow with blackout curtains. Alternatively, you can also use blackout blinds with non-lined curtains to keep your room dark.
Thermal curtains
Draughty windows? A thermal curtain will help to retain warmth in the winter. Plus, they'll also keep the room cooler in the summer.
Sheer, voile and net curtains
While they don't absorb heat on their own, these curtains soften the light from outside while allowing fresh air to come in.
Velvet curtains
Add more depth to your rooms. Sumptuous with a shine, velvet curtains create a luxe look and help you create a warm and cosy vibe.
Curtain linings
Which curtain type – lined or unlined – is best for your needs? Lined curtains are usually heavier and hang in soft, loose folds. They help reduce the amount of light entering the room and keep the heat from escaping. Unlined curtains are a good option if you’re looking for a window dressing that's purely decorative and don’t mind light filtering through.

Cleaning your curtains
We know you cannot avoid sticky hands, playful paws, dust and debris from making the curtains dirty. But we'll help you with easy tips to clean them.
- Use a steam cleaner to clean your curtains once a week if you have kids or pets at home.
- Many curtains are machine washable so you can easily refresh them twice a year.
- Make sure to pre-treat stains, if any. It helps in nipping the stain in the bud before it touches the other parts of the curtain.
- Check for the colourfastness of your curtain fabric. The easiest way is to take a corner of your curtain and dip in a bowl of water mixed with detergent.
