Shoppers are praising Dusk's Herringbone Thermal Blackout Eyelet Curtains for their look, heat-retention capabilities and style, with one saying 'they have an expensive feel to them'. The curtains are currently discounted in the retailer's Black Friday sale.

The Herringbone Thermal Blackout Eyelet Curtains in light grey are available from Dusk for £80, but with the code BLACKFRIDAY, they are £64 at checkout. This price is for the 168cm x 182cm size, but other sizes are available, including 168cm x 228cm (£72 down from £90) and 228cm x 228cm (£88 down from £110).

Features and availability

The site says the herringbone pattern adds 'a touch of class to any room' and, with the three-pass blackout coating, the curtains offer a combination of thickness and efficiency. Shoppers can 'say goodbye to unwanted light and enjoy uninterrupted sleep' with these curtains.

The insulating coating helps to keep rooms warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Dusk says the curtains are available in both eyelet and pencil pleat styles, along with two shades - off-white and light grey - and they arrive as a pair, so there are two curtain panels.

Many other products are on offer as part of Dusk's 20% off Black Friday sale, including these Large Herringbone Pattern Eyelet Curtains in green, which are now £80, down from £100, with the code for the 168cm x 182cm size. The Chunky Stripe Pair of Pencil Pleat Curtains in brown are available for the same price, along with the Chunky Stripe Pair of Eyelet Curtains in brown. Both are available in several sizes.

Shopper reviews

The Herringbone Thermal Blackout Eyelet Curtains in light grey have been rated positively by Dusk shoppers in their reviews. One said: "Fabulous curtains, really good quality and heavy, the blackout works perfectly, very pleased - so much so that I bought three more sets, changing my curtains in the lounge/dining room."

A second said: "I ordered the off-white herringbone patterned curtains and this really helped bring warmth and saturation to my south-facing front room. They are very thick and heavy curtains, but they prevent people from peering in but still allow in light, and they are perfect for those who want a nice creamy curtain that's not plain white without any character."

A third shopper said: "Lovely quality curtains, completely blackout and fantastic value for money." While a fourth added: "These curtains are stylish and classic, but give a very modern feel to the room. I desperately needed to lift the darkness of my lounge... and the curtains have created a much lighter space. Love them!"

This person shared: "The lining of these curtains has kept the sun out of the dinning area and gives great coverage at night. They hang really well and feel more expensive than what they are. They are easy to steam and hang." Another person commented: "Absolutely love these curtains. They have an expensive feel to them. I'm so pleased."

This shopper wrote in their review: "These are muted but nice-looking curtains that hang well and have good blackout and thermal properties, so they make the room cosy." While this person added: "Great quality for the price, they are excellent blackout and thermal curtains. I have bought three sets already."

This shopper left high praise, too, writing: "Absolutely beautiful, the quality is superb. They make your windows look very classy!" Another person wrote: "Good quality curtains which hang nicely and really make a difference in keeping heat in." While this shopper said: "Really pleased with these curtains for our bedroom. They are great quality with a thermal lining and hang perfectly!"

Others, however, were more critical. This person said: "Great curtains overall. Having spent hours painfully ironing my curtains, they are now up!" Another said: "You would need to iron it out to remove creases, but otherwise looks nice."
