Cream Curtains !!!

They go so well with other homeware - recently purchased. Herringbone design was not something i was looking for to compliment and complete furnishing - but there they were at Argos. Thankyou.

Unhappy London

Lovely light curtains

These are not blackout at all but they're are nice and light for a room that doesn't need to be dark.

Not well finished, a lot of work to get them right

The herringbone fabric is nice, from a distance, during adventure the room, you don't detect the herringbone pattern, you only take see that when closer up, or if you added a heavier lining it would be more noticeable. Although some as "fully lined" the curtains & their lining are very thin, they are ideal if you want privacy but still let in light, I have purchased several pairs, one of them has lace panelling behind, when the sun shines on then in the morning you can see the lace shadow coming through. I was concerned they were stood thin they they would not be suitable so I had someone stand & wave at various distances with the lights on in the evening as I watched from outside, the result being that only when they were stood immediately in front of the curtain could I see any shadow, a full step back & nothing was visible, so they do provide privacy but they still let in light, however if you want a thick curtain or a blacked out room, these are not for you, unless you plan to but book on blackout curtains to fit at the back. I originally bought the eyelet version by accident, found the big silver rings for the eyelets to look very clunky & uncomplimentary to the design and I ordered the pencil pleat replacements. The curtain ties are well done, they are stitched in so you only need to start pulling the three cords from one side, no need to worry about tying off the other end, however be sure to measure carefully because if you want the full pencil pleat look you may want to consider a longer width, especially as they are a thinner curtain. The curtains were very creased coming out of the packaging but they ironed well, I would recommend flat ironing them first and then giving them a steam once hung. Despite actually liking the fabric & the airy look I was appalled at how poorly these curtains were finished, Habitat used to have better standards, this is very shoddy workmanship: at each side of the curtain there is the seam where the herringbone fabric meets the lining, on all four that I bought of these, the seams are completely uneven, meaning when you hang the curtains you don't get lines at the edges but wobbly sides that look hideous. I took photos at this stage to try to capture it but unfortunately I found it hard to get a good shot, but they really are completely uneven at the edges (images provided). It's a huge amount of work to sort this out, I eventually had to get the ladders out to pin them whilst they were hanging, but it was hard work having to keep stepping away to check they hanging line, adjust & re-pin, trying to get a straight edge, then I had to take them down again and iron in new lines, then re-hang them & then of course they needed steaming again - doing that four times is a lot of extra work for supposedly ready to hang curtains. It's really a pity that the uneven seams require so much extra work because they are a nice airy curtain, when then all sorted out I very much like how they look against my White walls but sadly even at a low price they are a lot of work to get right and unless you're willing to do that work then they simply don't hang nicely, and it is on that basis that I have given a lower rating than I'd like to and regrettably cannot recommend them.

Average curtains

Bought for my elderly dads lounge. I was a little surprised how cheap they looked. The fabric is very lightweight and the pencil pleat ribbon was horrendous to get the actual hooks into. It frayed and pulled. Just awful. For the price, done would say they're fine but I was very disappointed. Will probably end up replacing them at some point.
