Duck Egg Curtains

Working with colour

Keep the room light with cream and pale grey, or add a deeper blue or green accent. Duck egg shades vary between designs, so compare the colour descriptions and images before choosing companion fabrics.

Duck egg is useful when you want colour without a bold contrast at the window. It can connect pale blue and green accessories in the same room. Choose a simple fabric if the room already has a busy wallpaper, or use a patterned design against a plain wall.

Heading, lining and texture

Choose your heading to fit the pole or track you already have. Eyelets slide directly onto a suitable pole, while pencil pleat curtains use hooks with a track or curtain rings. If light control matters, compare the stated lining on each product and browse our Blackout Curtains. Colour alone does not tell you how much light a curtain will block.

Look at close-up photographs as well as the room image. A woven or textured finish can give a plain colour more depth, while the scale of a print affects how noticeable it feels across a larger window. Colours on screens can vary, so read the shade name and product details together.

Finding the right fit

Measure your curtain pole or track and the drop before choosing a size. Sizes are shown as width × drop, with inches followed by centimetres. For a pair, the listed width is the width of each curtain. Check the individual product for lining, pack contents and care instructions.
