FAQ
How do I measure for eyelet curtains?
Measuring correctly is key to achieving the signature wave effect. Width: For beautiful, deep folds, we recommend a total curtain width that is 1.5 to 2 times the width of your curtain rod. This "fullness" prevents the curtain from looking stretched and flat when closed. Height: Measure from the top of your curtain rod down to where you want the curtain to end (e.g., the windowsill, the apron, or the floor). Add 1.5 inches (4cm) to this measurement to account for the fabric that sits above the grommet hole.
Wash using a gentle cold water cycle and then hang to dry or tumble dry on low to prevent the lock ring from rusting when wet.
What kind of curtain pole do I need for eyelet curtains?
You will need a front roll decorative curtain pole. The pole's diameter should be at least 1/2 inch smaller than the eyelet's inner diameter to allow it to slide smoothly. For example, if the eyelet hole is 1.6 inches, a pole up to 1.1 inches in diameter is ideal.
Do the grommets come in different colors and finishes?
Yes. To ensure a cohesive look, grommets are available in various finishes to match your curtain pole and home decor. Common options include brushed nickel, matte black, antique brass, and silver.
Can I use eyelet curtains on a traverse pole or ceiling track?
No, they are not compatible. Eyelet curtains are designed exclusively to be threaded onto a stationary pole. The grommets would catch on the carriers of a traverse pole or track, preventing them from opening and closing properly.
