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.

Light enough to keep a room feeling open when the curtains are drawn, dense enough to black it out completely. Closed during the day it holds a soft glow at the surface rather than going flat, so the room feels dim rather than shut. The cool base keeps it looking clean rather than yellow, and it sits well with grey flooring and white walls.
The cast is quiet. A blue-green undertone, which is rare in blackout ranges. It reads as calm and slightly cool, and it is a good foil for warm wood.
Ranked by lightness it is the 16th of 22 — among the palest shades. Closest to it are Vanilla Cream and Dusty Apricot Taupe, worth comparing side by side if you are undecided.
A natural fit for bedrooms in apartments, small rooms, and anywhere the curtain covers a large part of the wall — it darkens completely without making the room feel smaller.
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.
Pale blackout shows handling marks along the leading edge, where hands actually touch the curtain. A tie-back keeps fingers off the cloth and does more for its appearance over five years than anything else. Vacuum with a brush head; dry clean when it needs it.
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 301-14 itself, gathered into folds and lit — not a colour swatch. The other 21 shades of book 301 are beside it, so you can put Straw Cream next to the ones it is easily confused with.
All 22 are the same fabric and the same price — only the colour changes.
If you are pricing straw cream blackout curtains in Dubai, this page is the shade itself — Straw Cream, 301-14 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.
The price for this shade is the same as every other shade in book 301 — colour does not change the cost, the size of the window and the fullness do. 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 Straw Cream 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.
Straightforward from start to finish. The measurer wrote everything down, the quote arrived the same evening, and the final invoice matched it.
Second order with them. They still had the record of my first fabric so the new room matches the old one exactly.
They talked me out of the fabric I originally wanted because it would not hold the pleat at that drop. They were right. That kind of advice is why I have already recommended them twice.
Motorised track in the bedroom. Works well and is quieter than I expected. The remote pairing took two visits to get right, hence four stars, but they came back the same week and sorted it.
Excellent fabric and fitting. Communication in the week before the visit could have been slightly better, but the work itself is faultless.
Full villa, eleven windows. They handled it in one day with three fitters. Having their own warehouse stock clearly made the difference on the timeline.
The dressing of the pleats after hanging is what I noticed. They tied them and left them to set, then came back to release them. Nobody else offered that.
Fitted nearly a year ago. The colour has not faded on the window that gets direct afternoon sun, which is what I was most worried about.
Two tracks in the bedroom, sheer in front. The sun comes straight into that window in the morning and now it is completely manageable.
Ordered on a Monday, fitted on the Friday. Five days from measuring to hanging, exactly as they said. The blackout is genuine — the room is dark at noon.
My daughter used to wake at 5:30 with the sun. First morning after the fitting she slept until 7. That alone was worth it. Fabric is from book 303 and it feels much heavier than what I was shown elsewhere.
Good price, good fabric and a team that turned up when they said. There is not much more to ask for.
Sample content while we collect the real thing. These are written to show the layout — they are not customers, no star rating is published to Google, and they are replaced in the back office as genuine feedback arrives.
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.
Leave a number and pick a window. No form-filling, no obligation.
Pick up to four and we'll drop the actual cuttings to your door, free, anywhere we cover. Colour behaves completely differently against your own window — this is the only honest way to judge it without booking anything.
