Deconovo Blackout Eyelet Curtains (2 Panels) in Dark Grey – Thermal, Energy Saving, Ready to Hang, W90 x L84
Product description
The essentials
If you’re fed up with street light, early-morning sun, or rooms that feel noticeably cooler or hotter than you’d like, blackout curtains are a straightforward place to start. These Deconovo blackout eyelet curtains come as ready-made pairs, using a triple-weave approach and a soft, matte touch finish. On paper, they’re designed to do three things at once: cut down light, help with temperature feel, and still look like proper decor rather than something purely utilitarian.
It’s also the kind of purchase that makes sense when you want a simple “hang and live with it” upgrade. The eyelets are there to make fitting onto a pole easier, and the panels are sold as a ready-to-hang set, so you’re not dealing with measuring and hemming your own curtains.
What you get and what to check first
This pack contains 2 curtain panels. Each panel is described as being 229 cm wide and 214 cm long, with 4 cm eyelets, and the curtains are sold ready to hang. That width matters because blackout performance is partly about coverage: if you don’t get enough fabric across the pole, light can still sneak in at the sides.
Before you buy, you’ll want to measure properly (Deconovo’s guidance is to measure your curtain pole, not the window). A common way to aim for fuller coverage is to choose a total curtain width around 1.5–2 times your pole. You’ll also need to measure the drop from the pole down to where you want the curtains to end. One small limitation to keep in mind: the exact “W90 x L84” label may not be enough on its own to visualise your fit if you’re used to working from window measurements—so rely on the panel dimensions and your pole measurement.
Where they stand out
The headline feature is the blackout effect. The product description states that these thermal blackout curtains can block around 95%–99% of light (noting that darker colours work better). For bedrooms and living rooms, that range is often exactly what people are looking for—especially if you’re trying to make sleep more consistent or reduce glare.
There’s also an energy-saving angle. The curtains are described as helping keep homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer by keeping light out and helping to reduce heat transfer. Realistically, no curtain alone “solves” heating costs, but as part of a wider strategy—insulation, draught-proofing, and sensible heating—they can be a useful layer.
Finally, the fabric is positioned as premium-textured and soft to the touch, with a lightweight matte look and stitched finish. That matters because blackout curtains can sometimes look heavy or flat in a room. Here, the intent is a softer decorative finish while still doing the job.
What you’ll notice day to day
In everyday use, blackout curtains tend to show their value quickly: you close them and you can feel the room becoming more controlled. Imagine it like this: in the evening, you pull the panels across the window and the outside lighting that used to wash into the room is much less noticeable, which can make the space feel calmer and more private.
Also, because they’re machine washable (gentle cycle, warm iron, no bleach, no tumble dry), they’re set up for normal home life rather than “special-occasion” care. If you get wrinkles after washing, the description suggests hanging for a while or ironing warm to help them gradually disappear.
The eyelet design is another practical detail. It’s usually a lot less fuss than fiddly alternatives, as long as you have a compatible curtain pole set up.
Pros
- Ready-made 2-panel set with eyelets, designed for easier hanging
- Triple-weave thermal blackout approach with stated 95%–99% light blocking (dark colours perform better)
- Energy-saving claim focused on reducing heat loss/gain by keeping light out
- Soft-touch matte look, aiming to be decorative as well as functional
- Machine washable with straightforward care instructions
What might not suit everyone
It’s not perfect for every setup. If your main concern is maximum blackout, the fit and width coverage become critical—so if your pole is wide or you prefer minimal gathers, you may need to double-check that you’re getting enough total curtain width for your space.
Also, the “thermal/energy saving” side is described as a help, not a guarantee. If you live in a very draughty property or expect big reductions from curtains alone, you may find it doesn’t fully meet that expectation.

When it makes sense
These Deconovo curtains suit you if you want an easy, ready-to-hang blackout upgrade for a living room or bedroom, and you care about getting proper side coverage rather than just hanging something “near enough”. They’re a sensible choice for anyone aiming to reduce light intrusion and add a bit of help with room temperature across seasons.
It might be a less ideal match if you’ve already measured and know you want very specific lengths or widths that don’t align with the given panel dimensions, or if you’re expecting blackout plus major energy savings without addressing fit, coverage, and wider insulation.
Mini FAQ
How do I choose the right width?
Measure your curtain pole and then aim for a total curtain width about 1.5–2 times the pole (as the listing suggests). That’s the practical rule that helps with coverage and reduces light gaps.
Are these curtains ready to hang?
Yes—this is a ready-to-hang set with eyelets intended to slide onto a curtain pole.
Do they really block a lot of light?
The description claims they block around 95%–99% of light, and it notes that dark colours work better.
Can I wash them?
Yes, they’re machine washable on a gentle cycle, and the care instructions mention warm ironing if wrinkles appear.
Final verdict
Is it worth it? For many UK homes, these are the kind of practical blackout curtains that tick the boxes: ready-made eyelets for a simpler install, a soft matte look for living spaces, and a stated high level of light blocking with a thermal/energy-saving intention. Just make sure you’re buying the right coverage based on your pole measurement and the panel dimensions—because that’s where performance and satisfaction usually rise or fall.
