With the clocks going forward and the sun appearing, early mornings with cascading light are now with us and despite all the positives that brings, for some people, especially those with small children, it can cause a problem - who wants to wake up at 5am because the light is streaming into your bedroom?
The answer is blackout curtains that as well as providing a dark sleeping space well into the day, add style to the room too, and now Dunelm's Isla Ultra Blackout Eyelet Curtains are on offer from £11.25 to £110, depending on size.
The Isla Ultra Blackout Eyelet Curtains come in widths of 117cm, 168cm, and 228cm and drops of 137cm, 182cm and 228cm and in six shades: Emerald Isla, Orange Umber, Isla Orange Umber, Rose, Midnight Blue Isla, and Charcoal Isla.

The manufacturer states that the Isla Ultra Blackout Eyelet Curtains are made from 100% polyester and are dry clean only, can be ironed on a cool setting and one pack includes two curtain panels.
Customers are raving about the Isla Ultra Blackout Eyelet Curtains and not just for their primary functions, with one stating, 'Excellent curtains highly recommended. This is the second set of these curtains that we have bought. Very good price and well made. Very effective at keeping the daylight out'.
While one buyer agreed with the good price and successful blackout function mentioned by other customers, they liked the style too, saying, 'Beautiful pair of curtains. Love the way they have a fold on the back along the eyelets to prevent light getting through, very well thought out. Gorgeous colour of green lovely material and especially the price Very happy with purchase added'.
But if you think blackout curtains are only for spring and summer, one customer strongly disagrees and suggests they are a bonus during the colder months, saying, 'Fabulous curtains, very thick and great keeping in heat and keeping cold out'.
Another reviewer concurs, saying, 'Absolutely love these curtains, the colour, the texture everything about them. They make the room feel cosy and warm on these cold dark nights and add a pop of colour during the day'.
In addition, another customer also added that the Isla Ultra Blackout Eyelet Curtains are good at reducing outside noise, commenting, 'I bought these in emerald green. They are quality. They soften the noise and cancel the light whilst adding a luxurious note to my rooms. A beautiful purchase and value for money'.
The few more negative comments include, 'Very disappointed. Lovely material but edges wavy where they should be straight and don't hang properly. Will try steaming but not optimistic' and 'The weird flaps at the back to block out light from the curtain rings don’t really work with the poles and makes the fall shape a bit odd'.
