Grey Curtains

Kurtens grey curtains cover 4 shades (grey, charcoal grey, light grey and mauve grey) across our three ranges: heather blackout, blackout thermal & acoustic, and linen-look sheer. Each one has its purpose, from full blackout to a filtered linen look: you choose according to the room. Made to measure, to the centimetre in width and height, with eyelet, pencil-pleat or rod-pocket heading. The ultimate neutral, grey suits every interior: light grey softens a room, charcoal asserts a contemporary look.

Our three ranges of grey curtains

Grey is also chosen by function. At Kurtens it comes in three ranges, each with a precise role:

  • Heather blackout: a dense fabric with a heather look that blocks the light, ideal for a bedroom.
  • Blackout thermal & acoustic: the most complete model, which blacks out, insulates from cold and heat and reduces noise.
  • Linen-look sheer: a grey linen-look veil that filters the light without stopping it, to keep privacy during the day.

To compare the functions, discover our blackout thermal & acoustic range.

Which shade of grey to choose

From light grey to charcoal, each shade creates a different mood.

  • Light grey: bright and soft, it enlarges a room, in the blackout thermal & acoustic range.
  • Charcoal grey: deep and contemporary, it structures a living room, in heather blackout as well as blackout thermal & acoustic.
  • Heather grey: neutral and textured, the heather look warms the tone, in heather blackout.
  • Mauve grey: a subtle shade with lilac reflections, in linen-look sheer.
How to pair a grey curtain

The most popular pairings work very well: a grey and white scheme brings clarity, a grey and blue scheme sets a calm mood. Grey also pairs with light wood, brass, beige and touches of yellow or green.

Charcoal grey structures a living room against a light wall, light greys enlarge a bedroom. Our colour guide details each pairing.

Light grey, charcoal or taupe: the differences

Greys differ by intensity and undertone.

  • Light grey and pearl grey: the brightest, slightly pearly, they open up a space.
  • Mouse grey: a neutral mid grey, neither warm nor cool.
  • Taupe grey: a grey warmed with a hint of brown, more inviting.
  • Charcoal and dark grey: the deepest, close to slate grey, they dress and structure.

At Kurtens, light grey and heather grey cover the bright tones, charcoal the deep moods, and mauve grey a softer shade.

Standard sizes or made to measure

Grey curtains are available in standard sizes or made to measure, in width and height. To dress a large window, a double grey curtain is often used, two panels meeting in the centre. Choose the heading to suit your rail, detailed in our heading guide: eyelets, pencil pleat, rod pocket or multifunction.

For dimensions, our measuring guide explains how to take measurements. Delivery is free and the Exact-Fit guarantee remakes the curtain in case of a measuring error.
