How this shade behaves on a window
Sits just off the palest shades: still bright enough that a drawn curtain does not shrink the room, still completely opaque. In daylight the closed surface keeps a faint luminosity instead of reading as a flat block, so the room goes quiet rather than cave like. The cool cast stops it drifting yellow over time and sits comfortably alongside grey flooring and white paintwork.
A majlis is usually a long unbroken run of glass, and a long run shows any unevenness in the heading immediately. We measure the whole wall, set the pleat spacing to divide exactly into the width, and carry the track in one length where the ceiling allows. This weight of cloth holds a consistent fold across that kind of distance.
Where it sits in the book
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.
Rooms and layering
A sensible choice where the curtain will dominate the wall: small bedrooms, apartments, box rooms. It blacks out completely while keeping the space feeling as large as it did with the curtains open.
For a layered window, a chiffon sheer from catalogue 401 takes the front rail. A blackout in this range takes almost any sheer, so pick the front layer on how bright you want the room by day rather than on matching.
Looking after it
Pale blackout shows handling along the leading edge, which is where hands actually land. A tie-back keeps fingers off the cloth and will do more for how the curtain looks in five years than anything else you can do. Vacuum with a brush head, dry clean when it needs it.
Book 301 is the textured blackout. There is a deliberate grain running through the weave that picks up light differently along each fold, and it does practical work too — it hides the small creases a curtain collects from being drawn every day. 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.

Does Straw Cream block light completely?
Yes, through the cloth: Straw Cream (301-14) is full-density blackout, and being pale doesn't weaken that — opacity comes from the weave, not the colour. Light round the edges is a fitting matter — a wide track, a centre overlap and a floor-length drop. See how measuring works at Pak Middle East.

How do I clean Straw Cream curtains?
As a 290 gsm blackout, Straw Cream needs simple care: pale blackout shows handling along the leading edge, which is where hands actually land. A tie-back keeps fingers off the cloth and will do more for how the curtain looks in five years than anything else you can do. Vacuum with a brush head, dry clean when it needs it. Read the cleaning guide at Pak Middle East.
What else should I know before ordering Straw Cream?
A majlis is usually a long unbroken run of glass, and a long run shows any unevenness in the heading immediately. We measure the whole wall, set the pleat spacing to divide exactly into the width, and carry the track in one length where the ceiling allows. The team covers details like this at the measuring visit; see how it works at Pak Middle East.
Which heading suits Straw Cream?
For Straw Cream: its 290 gsm weight is close to ideal for a wave heading, falling in an even S-curve without collapsing; pinch pleat stacks deeper, wave shallower but wider. The team can show both on the visit. Compare at Pak Middle East.
Can Straw Cream be made as wave curtains?
Yes. Straw Cream (301-14) works on a corded wave track, from AED 785 for a 2m × 3m window, fitted, with the wave track included. See wave blackout curtains at Pak Middle East.
Can I get Straw Cream roman blinds?
Yes. Straw Cream can be the face fabric of a blackout roman blind, with a blackout lining sewn behind it, from AED 1,130 for 2m × 3m, fitted; it suits narrow windows where a curtain can't stack. See blackout romans at Pak Middle East.
Can Straw Cream curtains be motorised?
Yes. Straw Cream is 290 gsm like the rest of book 301: a full-height pair in 290 gsm cloth sits comfortably inside a standard tubular motor's limit on an ordinary window; very wide runs are weighed before quoting. Motorisation is quoted separately per window. See motorised curtains at Pak Middle East.
Does Straw Cream cost more than other colours?
No. Straw Cream costs the same as the other 21 shades in book 301; only the colour changes. Compare the four books at Pak Middle East.
Will Straw Cream fade in the UAE sun?
Straw Cream will fade slowly like any fabric in Gulf sun; the polyester in the cotton-polyester blend carries the fade resistance on hot west-facing glass. Pale shades show fading less than deep ones. Fading over years isn't a warranty defect; read the terms at Pak Middle East.
Will Straw Cream curtains help keep the room cool?
Yes, when Straw Cream (301-14) is closed before the sun reaches the glass, since a full-density blackout stops direct solar gain. A paler shade reflects more of the heat back towards the glass. On west-facing rooms a motorised timer makes sure it's closed in time. See motorised options at Pak Middle East.
Can I order Straw Cream curtains for a whole apartment or villa?
Yes. Ordering every Straw Cream window together keeps them on one 301-14 dye lot from stock, so every room matches exactly; the volume discount also applies automatically, 5% from AED 2,000 up to 30% above AED 12,000. Plan it with Pak Middle East.
Can I get Straw Cream curtains in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi or the northern emirates?
Yes. Straw Cream (301-14) is made and fitted across all seven emirates at the same price, with no delivery fee or travel charge for the visit. Check your area at Pak Middle East.
Can I buy Straw Cream fabric by the roll?
For the trade, yes: Pak Middle East General Trading LLC supplies book 301 on 320 cm rolls. Ask about 301-14 quantities and trade pricing via Pak Middle East.
What's the difference between Straw Cream and Dusty Apricot Taupe?
Same fabric, weight and price; the difference is tone and depth, which is easiest to judge with both held against your window. Straw Cream sits 16th of 22 from the deepest end. Compare them in the book at Pak Middle East.
Is Straw Cream suitable for an office or hotel?
Yes. Straw Cream works for clinics, offices and meeting rooms that need darkness, and holding 301-14 in stock keeps a multi-room project on one dye lot. Discuss a project via Pak Middle East.
Do Straw Cream curtains come with a warranty?
Yes. Straw Cream curtains get the standard 12 months on track, stitching and installation, and the 301-14 fabric is covered against manufacturing defects. Incorrect washing isn't covered, so follow the care advice for book 301. Ask about cover via Pak Middle East.

Straw Cream — Offices, clinics and multi-window orders
We fit commercial premises as well as homes, and the questions there are different: consistency across dozens of windows, the ability to match a replacement in two years, and how the cloth behaves under continuous mechanical ventilation.
Because this book sits in our own warehouse, a phased fit-out can be done in stages without the later windows drifting to a different dye lot. Quotes are per window or per floor. Talk to us through the contact page with a drawing or a window schedule if you have one.
