Price History
Description
Nothing pulls a room together like the perfect set of curtains. This pair is crafted from brushed fabric for an elegant drape and are easy to hang thanks to eyelet detailing. A blackout finish blocks light from outside and ensures total privacy. Not only that but these curtains are temperature smart, so their thermal lining helps keep the heat in during the winter and out during the summer. Maximum Warmth Heat Rating: Our Maximum Warmth heat rating means that this fabric is proven to show thermal performance helping you keep you warm when the weather gets chilly.
Our Stylist Says
These M&S brushed eyelet blackout curtains are a great choice for adding both style and functionality to a room. I love their rich chocolate tone, which creates warmth and pairs well with neutral or muted palettes. The blackout and thermal qualities make them ideal for bedrooms or living spaces that benefit from increased insulation and light control. For styling, they work beautifully with both contemporary and traditional interiors - think alongside soft textures like wool or linen for a cosy feel, or with sleek furnishings for a more modern look. To keep the look neat, opt for a simple, understated curtain track or pole and consider pairing with matching accessories for a cohesive feel. They’re a practical addition that doesn’t sacrifice style.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
