As colder weather approaches and energy bills are expected to rise, Dunelm's Wynter Thermal Eyelet Curtains are available to help conserve heat and reduce costs. Priced between £35 and £150 depending on colour and size, the curtains come in nearly 20 colours, including berry red, black, charcoal grey, cream, and navy, with nearly 10 sizes to fit any space.
Thermal coating and fabric
The curtains are made from a 'stylish and sophisticated chenille fabric' that is soft and textured, according to the site. The thermal coating insulates homes by blocking external heat in summer and preventing cool draughts in winter, while also providing added privacy.
Each pair includes two curtain panels with an eyelet header for easy installation and smooth movement across poles. A coordinating cushion is available separately, though the curtains are not blackout and will allow some light to filter through.
Shopper reviews and alternatives
Shoppers have praised the curtains in reviews. One said: "Extremely pleased with the quality, feel and look of these curtains. They are beautifully lined and look amazing. They are thermal curtains and can already feel the difference in the room." Another added: "Keeps the light out very effectively. Quality material and lovely, rich colour. Good at keeping the room cool in the summer as (the curtains) block the heat."
One reviewer noted: "These curtains look fantastic at the dining end of our kitchen and make a big difference to the look of the room, as well as to the temperature. They let an attractive amount of light through but stop the heat from the sun on our patio doors. They should also keep us warmer in the winter." Some feedback mentioned the need for ironing and slight colour variation, with one person writing: "Lovely material but did need a bit of an iron to get rid of the worst of the creases but was worth the effort." Another commented: "The curtains are good, but the colour is not quite as expected, more cream than sand but neutral so decided to keep them."
