Polished look!

Liz drapes with blackout liner, ivory white, no body memory, triple pleat, 106” height (9 foot ceiling, hung at 107”)
Used jaylon rod
These are heavier than I thought they’d be so hoping rid holds up well!
Beautiful though- didn’t do memory thing and still look great.
These are in our master bedroom with aesthetic white paint.

Recommend

Exactly what I envisioned. Beautiful sheer curtains, high quality, no loose threads or wrinkles.

Color is completely different

Sara dropped a swatch color palette on her IG and also described the Copper color as “burnt orange.” my curtains are like a green shade instead. Support told me this was intentional but it looks like Sara has the correct shade in her pictures? Huge disappointment as I spent a lot of money on this

Perfect Blackout Curtains!

The fabric is thick and luxurious, ensuring privacy and keeping my living room cooler during the day by blocking out the heat. I can now enjoy movie nights without any glare from the outside, and the room feels so much more serene. Installation was simple, and the curtains fit perfectly. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to elevate their living room while enjoying complete light control!

The perfect curtains!

These curtains are very luxurious and the perfect addition for our bedroom. We have slider doors, so we wanted blackout drapery and sheer curtains and these are the perfect addition.

Perfect ambience

Just the right curtains I was looking for, blocked all the light but lets the sun shine on the wall and ceiling a bit. The other curtains I had blocked only 75% of the light.

The material feels high quality and durable.

The only thing I need to do now is get them steamed so they look uniform.

Very fast shipping, came 2 days early. The turn around time from manufacturing to shipping wasn’t long either.

Love them but not true blackout

I was very excited to get these and love how they look with my kids rooms. Unfortunately, the way they are sewn together allows for a lot of light to get through. I ordered the blackout lining hoping I wouldn’t need to close the curtains but as you can see, the seams are super bright.

Sag at the end

They look nice but when they get to the edge of the recommended length they clearly sag at the ends, even without curtains. Not worth $75

If you need any assistance or advice, feel free to contact support@twopagescurtains.com, and our customer service team will do their best to resolve the issue for you.

Great shades!

We love our Twopages Cinnamon Natural Jute Bamboo Woven Shade. The true color is a bit darker than photos depicted online but I got the sample booklet and anticipated that. I do really like it.

Amazing Workmanship and Embroidered Trim!

Two Pages has upped their game. My drapes came in a lovely branded zipper bags with a lovely message inside. Delivery was so quick! I have over a dozen curtains in my home from Two Pages. I recently upgraded my Isabella Paper White curtains in my living room to Isabella Paper White with R31 Trim. Oh my goodness- GORGEOUS!!! Firstly, my original Paper White drapes had a blue tinge to them, a very stark white. Which was fine, but I don’t know if they changed the sourcing, but the Paper White colour is now a lovely True clean white that is more soft, I LOVE the white. The R31 trim sample that I ordered in advance, also matched the trim tape on the curtains. Customer service was good to confirm with my enquiry that the sample did indeed match, as the website colour depicted was a bit different. It is a stunning sky blue (not aqua like the website picture). Moreover the workmanship and specifically how the tape was sewn onto the drape, was straight and aligned nicely with the thread. I was nervous when I ordered, because I saw a review where you could see that the sewing had gone outside of the lines and looked sub par; but I can assure you, the trim tape is sewn on beautifully. I plan to order Jawara Pink with Q21 or K61 next; which will make it 20 pairs of drapes from Two Pages that I own, LOL. The trim tape itself is such good quality, wide and stunningly embroidered. They rival designer named ones. I WISH I could order the trim tape itself so that I can add it to a throw pillow and at the bottom of my slip covered dining chairs, to coordinate the rooms. My style is Modern French Country I would say. Thank you Two Pages for my exquisite drapes
