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
I love this pair of M&S brushed eyelet blackout curtains in mid-blue for their versatility and functionality. The rich blue tone adds colour without overpowering a space, making them suitable for both contemporary and traditional interiors. Their thermal and blackout features make them perfect for bedrooms or media rooms, helping to block out light and improve insulation. Stylistically, they work well paired with neutral tones or contrasting patterns, and the eyelet header gives a clean, modern look that’s easy to hang. For a polished finish, consider layering with lighter sheer curtains or adding decorative tiebacks in complementary colours to soften their look and personalise the space.

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.
