Aurelio Chenille Jacquard Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Emerald

The Aurelio is a pair of eyelet curtains woven from chenille, a pile yarn that gives the cloth its deep, soft surface and a faint sheen that shifts as the light moves across it. The face carries a subtle abstract jacquard, a pattern built into the weave itself rather than printed on top, so the design reads as texture more than as a picture. In the photographs the colour is a dark emerald green, mottled with lighter flecks where the pile catches the light. Each curtain is fully lined, and the pair comes in a range of sizes from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a width and drop to suit most standard windows.

These suit a living room, a dining room or a bedroom where you want the window to feel dressed and the room to feel settled. The green is rich enough to anchor a scheme and sits well against warm neutral walls, brass fittings and wooden floors, the sort of setting shown in the photographs. Chenille has real weight to it, so the curtains hang in full, rounded folds rather than falling flat, which is worth knowing if you are pairing them with a plain or panelled wall.

The header is an eyelet, so the curtains simply thread onto a pole and gather into even pleats with no hooks or tape to fuss over. The lining is described as room-darkening, which reduces incoming light and adds privacy after dark. Chenille is a polyester cloth, so it holds colour well and resists fading; check the care label on your pair before washing. The eyelet header makes them quick to hang and quick to take down when they need cleaning.

Are these curtains sold as a pair?

Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress both sides of your window.

What does the eyelet header mean for hanging them?

The eyelets are metal rings set along the top, so the curtains thread straight onto a pole and fall into even folds without hooks or heading tape.

How much light do they block?

The lining is described as room-darkening, so it cuts a good deal of incoming light and adds privacy, though it is not the same as full blackout.

What is chenille like as a fabric?

Chenille is a pile weave with a soft, plush surface and a subtle sheen, which gives these curtains weight and helps them hang in full, rounded folds.

How do I choose the right size?

Sizes are given as width by drop per pair, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so measure your pole width and desired length before ordering.
