Blackout lining is a choice often popular for living rooms and bedrooms, however, when it comes to kitchens blackout linings can be just as useful. Helping to block out the light from the outside world, blackout linings provide full levels of privacy, perfect for parties and little gatherings.Kitchen curtain headings
Curtain headings can add an extra stylish touch to a kitchen. Where styling is kept to a minimum due to the practicalities of the room, adding a fun header to your curtains is a great way to incorporate some extra style to the space. With a range of curtain headings to choose from, Blinds Direct will have the perfect addition to your space! Some of the most popular headings for curtains are:
Pencil Pleat kitchen curtains
Also known as a gathered heading, pencil pleat curtains feature narrow folds of fabric at the top manifesting a classic finish. Suitable for both curtain tracks and poles, this popular heading complements any interior scheme.Wave headed kitchen curtains
Wave headings are suited for more modern and contemporary style homes. The sleek waves cause the curtains to fall beautifully, and in a way that works wonderfully in larger open spaces. Suitable for curtain tracks only, wave headed curtains maintain their wave like structure when the curtains are both open and closed.
Pinch Pleat kitchen curtains
Pinch pleat headings come as either a double pinch or a triple pinch. This determines the number of folds you have per pinch. The triple pinch pleat is the more popular choice as it is a great way of adding in a delicate detail to your purchase, especially block colour curtains. Suitable for curtain poles, the curtain hooks are positioned at the centre of each pinch, allowing the curtain to hang gracefully below.Eyelet kitchen curtains
Eyelet curtains are a fun twist on the wave heading. Metal rings are added into the fabric, creating eyelets for the curtain pole to slide through, allowing the curtains to then drape elegantly below in a wave style pattern. Suitable for curtain poles only, the eyelet heading is a fun choice for kitchens and living rooms.
