FAQs

What is the best shade of grey for my room?

Choosing the best shade of grey curtains for your room depends on your space, lighting, and interior style. For a calming, minimalist look, opt for light grey curtains or silver grey drapes, which reflect natural light and create an airy feel, perfect for bedrooms or living rooms with neutral tones to create that perfect balance.

If you're aiming for a more dramatic or luxe atmosphere, dark grey curtains or charcoal curtains add depth and elegance, especially in larger rooms or spaces with bold accents. Whether you're styling a bedroom or a living room, our collection of grey blackout, eyelet, and pencil pleat curtains offers versatile options to suit every need.

How do I measure my curtains?

Measuring your curtains correctly ensures a perfect fit and polished look for any room. Start by measuring the width of your curtain pole or track, not the window itself. This gives you the right size for your drapes. 

For the drop, decide whether you want your curtains to fall to the windowsill, below it, or to the floor. Use a tape measure for accuracy and always double-check your measurements before ordering. 

Whether you're buying grey bedroom curtains, living room drapes, or room darkening styles, precise measuring is key to achieving a tailored finish. For a more in-depth guide, our how-to measure for curtains and buying guide are a good place to start. We even have specific pencil pleat and eyelet measuring guides to ensure your new drapes are fit to perfection!

Are they good at blocking light?

Our collection of grey blackout curtains combines style and functionality, offering exceptional light-blocking performance. Available in both eyelet and pencil pleat headers, they’re perfect for enhancing a sleek grey bedroom or creating a warm, inviting living room. For those not ready to commit to full blackout curtains, we also offer room-darkening options!

Crafted from thick, light-blocking fabric, these curtains are designed to keep sunlight out, making them ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, or any space where darkness is essential. Beyond blocking light, they provide practical benefits like improved insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures by keeping heat out in summer and cold drafts at bay in winter. 

What colours go well with grey?

When it comes to styling curtains in your space, you can’t get a much more agreeable colour than grey. Arguably the most versatile of all neutral shades, grey makes a tasteful pairing with just about any other hue. Our grey curtains create a serene backdrop to any style of interior, creating a sense of calm, depth and allowing any brightly coloured focal points to really pop. 

If a timelessly chic interior is calling your name, grey and white make for a classic combo that’ll work beautifully in any scheme. Pairing light grey curtains with sleek grey throws and a generous helping of white cushions is ideal for more minimalist homes, while dark, charcoal grey curtains will strike a moody contrast with bright accents like cream throws or white duvet covers. 

For a soothing space that’s pasted in pastel beauty, pair your grey curtains with muted accents in dusky shades of pink, blue or green. Pastel shades will feel all the warmer when popped alongside any grey shade, and will give you an irresistible minimalist look that’s still got plenty of character. Pair with bold geometric cushions for a fresh, playful feel, or layer up with plenty of cosy textures like bouclé cushions and a faux fur blanket. 

If you’re ready to lean into luxury, grey curtains sing in perfect harmony alongside bright jewel tones. Pair dark grey curtains with accents like emerald green throws or royal blue cushions for a final touch of style. For light grey curtains, brilliantly bright hues of butter yellow and zesty orange will keep your space feeling sunny. Go with bright yellow bedding, sunny orange accessories, and tie the eclectic look together with cushions in yellow and orange hues. 

How to style grey curtains?

Styling them is all about creating balance and versatility in your space. For enhanced light control and texture, layer sheer grey drapes behind heavier styles like grey velvet drapes or blackout pencil pleat curtains, perfect for bedrooms or living rooms where you want both privacy and softness. 

When it comes to colour combinations, grey pairs beautifully with neutrals like white, beige, and taupe for a minimalist look, or with bold accents like navy, mustard, or blush pink for a more vibrant feel. Whether you're choosing light grey curtains for a fresh, airy vibe or dark grey curtains for depth and drama, layering and colour pairing are key to a cohesive interior.

How to clean them?

Cleaning curtains helps maintain their colour, texture, and longevity. Always check the care label first, many grey velvet curtains, chenille drapes, and blackout styles require dry cleaning to preserve their quality. 

For machine-washable options use a gentle cycle with cold water to avoid fading. Avoid harsh detergents and hang them to dry to prevent shrinkage. Whether you're refreshing grey bedroom curtains or grey living room curtains, regular cleaning keeps your space looking polished and your curtains performing at their best!
