The second image drapes this shade's own photograph on a window to show the colour gathered into folds. It is a visualisation, not a photograph of a fitted job — and cloth backlit by your own glass reads differently again, which is why we bring the book to you.

A mid tone is the most forgiving choice in a blackout. It shows neither dust nor creasing the way pale and very dark fabrics do, and it sits comfortably against most wall colours without having to be matched to them. The cool base keeps it looking clean rather than yellow, and it sits well with grey flooring and white walls.
The cast is barely-there. The undertone is genuinely blue, which keeps the shade looking crisp and clean rather than dusty. Blues can feel cold in a north-facing room and excellent in one that gets hard afternoon sun.
Ranked by lightness it is the 6th of 22 — among the deeper shades. Closest to it are Greige and Pale Gray, worth comparing side by side if you are undecided.
The safe all-rounder: bedrooms, living rooms, majlis. If you are covering several rooms and want one fabric throughout, this is the sort of tone to pick.
If you are layering, a chiffon sheer from catalogue 401 goes on the front track. With a blackout in this range almost any sheer works, so choose the sheer on how bright you want the room to feel by day.
Mid tones are the easiest to live with — they show neither dust nor finger marks readily. Vacuum with a brush head every few weeks and it will look the same in year five as in year one.
Catalogue 301 is our textured blackout: the weave has a visible grain that catches light across the folds and disguises the small creases every curtain picks up in handling. Every shade in the book is the same price, and our team brings the physical Book 301 to your home free so you can judge it against your own glass.
This is shade 301-17 itself, gathered into folds and lit — not a colour swatch. The other 21 shades of book 301 are beside it, so you can put Dove Gray next to the ones it is easily confused with.
All 22 are the same fabric and the same price — only the colour changes.
Buying dove gray blackout curtains in the UAE usually starts with the colour and ends with the fit. Dove Gray (301-17) sits in our textured blackout book. a visible surface texture that hides creases and suits large windows.
This is the range most bedrooms end up in: dark enough to feel restful, light enough that the room does not close in during the day. Mid tones are the most forgiving shades to live with — they show neither dust nor marks readily.
Made-to-measure curtains in this shade are quoted per window rather than per panel, and the figure covers the fabric, the tailoring, the track and the fitting. Every shade in this book is held in our own UAE warehouse, which is why we quote days rather than the weeks an imported order takes. You can price your own window with the estimator before anyone visits.
Colour is the one thing a screen gets wrong. Warm afternoon light pushes a shade like this towards yellow, and a north-facing room pulls it the other way, so the safest way to judge it as a blackout is against your own wall. The book comes to the home on the free measuring visit, alongside the other three catalogues if you want to compare.
A blackout on its own gives you sun or darkness with nothing between. Adding a chiffon sheer in front on a double track is what most bedrooms here end up with, and it protects the blackout from the daily sun.
Technically this is Dove Gray textured blackout fabric, cut and made up to your window rather than sold by the metre — the shade is fixed, the size is not.
Collected after installation across Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
They cover Ajman properly, which many Dubai companies do not. No extra travel charge and they arrived on time.
Went for the double layer after seeing the books at home. Sheer during the day, blackout at night, and the two tracks were installed level to the millimetre. Price on the quote was the price I paid.
The consultant brought all four catalogue books to the flat. Seeing the fabric against my own window in daylight completely changed which colour I picked — the one I chose online looked grey in my living room.
I only wanted sheers for the living room. They did not try to upsell me into blackout, which I appreciated. The chiffon softens the light beautifully and the room still feels bright.
Floor-to-ceiling glass on two sides. The sheers cut the glare without making the apartment dark, and the fitters got the drop right to the centimetre above the floor.
Very good work and a fair price. The only reason for four stars is that the first fitting slot was moved by a day. Once they arrived it took under three hours for four windows and they cleaned up after themselves.
Pinch pleat in the formal sitting room. The folds are even across the whole width, which is the part cheap curtains always get wrong. They hung and dressed them properly before leaving.
Good blinds at a good price. I would have liked a wider colour choice in the roller range, but for the blackout function they do exactly what was promised.
They came all the way to RAK for two bedrooms and still gave me the same fixed price. Fitted in one visit.
Sheers for a small apartment on a budget. They were honest that I did not need a heavier fabric for a north-facing room instead of selling me the expensive book.
Fair work for a fair price. Delivery was a day later than first indicated but they called ahead rather than leaving me waiting.
Book 303 jacquard in the majlis. Guests keep asking where they came from. The pattern lines up across the two panels, which I did not think to ask about and they did anyway.

Our team brings catalogues 301, 302, 303 and 401 to your door, measures every window, and quotes one fixed price covering fabric, track, accessories and fitting. The visit is free and there is no obligation.
