Aurelio Chenille Jacquard Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Burgundy

The Aurelio is a pair of fully lined eyelet curtains woven from chenille, a fabric whose short, dense pile catches the light and gives the deep burgundy a shifting, mottled surface. The face carries a subtle abstract jacquard pattern, so the texture is woven into the cloth rather than printed on top of it. This is a heavier hang than a plain voile or a flat cotton panel, and the weight is what gives these curtains their soft, generous folds. They come as a pair, ready to hang, in a range of drop and width combinations to suit most standard windows.

These curtains sit well in a living room or bedroom where you want a rich, warm anchor to the scheme. The burgundy reads as a proper deep red, closer to a good claret than a bright pillar-box, and it pairs comfortably with olive and sage greens, warm neutrals and brass or aged-gold fittings of the kind shown on the pole here. Because the lining is designed to darken the room, they earn their place at a bedroom window or on any window where afternoon glare is a nuisance. The eyelet header threads straight onto a pole, so there is no hook-and-tape fuss when you put them up.

The face and lining are both polyester, which holds colour well and resists the creasing that can plague natural fibres on a long drop. The room-darkening lining also cuts draughts and adds a measure of privacy after dark. When you choose a size, remember the first figure is the width of each panel across the pole and the second is the drop from eyelet to hem, so check your pole length and the distance to your sill or floor before ordering. Style them with a green sofa and a plush cushion in the same fabric to tie the window into the seating.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to hang either side of your window on a single pole.

How do I choose the right size?

The first figure is the width of each panel across the pole and the second is the drop, so measure your pole length and the fall to sill or floor first.

What does the room-darkening lining actually do?

The lining reduces the amount of daylight coming through and adds privacy after dark, which makes these a good choice for a bedroom or a sunny front room.

What is chenille and how does it feel?

Chenille is a woven fabric with a short, dense pile that feels soft and looks slightly velvety, catching the light to give the surface its mottled depth.

Will these fit a standard curtain pole?

Yes, the eyelet header slides straight onto a pole with no hooks or tape needed, so hanging them is quick and needs no extra fittings.
