Shoppers looking to keep their homes warm this winter have been rushing to buy a reduced set of Dunelm curtains that offer both thermal insulation and blackout coverage. The Luxe Velour Eyelet Curtains are priced from £36 up to £68 depending on the size chosen, and come in a range of colours including chestnut, blue, aubergine purple and more.
Recycled velour design
According to the product description on the Dunelm website, the curtains are made with 100% recycled polyester and are available in a variety of colourways and sizes. The listing describes them as adding "a touch of smart, understated style to any home décor," featuring a luxurious velour fabric and a brushed steel eyelet header with a dyed-to-match lining for improved privacy and light filtration.
Similar thermal blackout options have also been spotted elsewhere. Dusk is offering a herringbone design reduced to £80 in an off-white colourway (W: 168cm x L: 182cm), while Argos has Habitat Blackout Pencil Pleat Curtains from £16 depending on size, which block out light with a soft linen look.
Shopper reviews
Thousands of shoppers have praised the Dunelm curtains for keeping rooms warm, with some describing them as thick. One shopper said: "Really thick, hang beautifully, total warmth and blackout!"
Another review read: "Adore these! They have completed the look of my bedroom and are effective at blocking light. They look very luxurious too!" A third fan added: "Beautifully luxurious velvet in a stunning turqouise colour. I went for the full gather effect and it looks super in the bedroom."
A fourth shopper said: "Soft and luxurious feel. I was surprised (ordered online) when I opened the packet as normally black out curtains have a cardboardy feel, but these are really soft and lovely."
Creasing complaints
Some shoppers, however, reported that the curtains arrived creased, possibly due to packaging. One review warned: "Absolutely avoid these curtains, they were so badly creased and took over 3 hours to iron and even used a steamer. Avoid at all costs!!"
The Dunelm Luxe Velour Eyelet Curtains are available to purchase from £36.
