Corinthian Velvet Lined Eyelet Curtains - Deep Green

The Corinthian is a velvet eyelet curtain sold as a pair, made from 100% polyester and finished in a deep forest green. The face has a soft, low lustre that shifts as it catches the light, and a fine micro-pleat runs top to bottom, so the fabric reads as a vertical ribbed texture rather than a flat plain. That texture is what sets these apart from a standard velvet panel: it gives the drop a sense of depth and stops the surface from looking heavy or dead. This size measures 228 x 137cm per pair, and the range runs across a spread of widths and drops so you can match the pair to your window rather than the other way round.

These suit a living room or bedroom where you want the window to feel dressed rather than merely covered. The dark green sits comfortably against grey and off-white walls, natural wood floors and brass or gold accents, and it pairs happily with a velvet sofa or a mustard cushion if you like a little contrast. The lining is a room-darkening lining, which is the reason to choose these for a bedroom in particular: it cuts daytime light and gives you privacy after dark, so they earn their place somewhere you actually want the room dimmed.

The eyelet header slides straight onto a pole and falls into even, regular folds without tape or hooks, which makes hanging quick and keeps the pleating tidy every time you draw them. Being 100% polyester, the fabric resists creasing and holds colour well over time, which is worth knowing for a curtain that stays hung in daylight for years. Measure your pole width and your desired drop before choosing a size, since eyelet curtains are meant to sit a touch wider than the window for a full, gathered look.

Do these curtains block out light?

They carry a room-darkening lining, which reduces incoming daylight and improves privacy. It cuts light rather than sealing it out entirely, so expect a dimmed room rather than full blackout.

How do the eyelets hang?

The eyelet header threads directly onto a curtain pole and drops into soft, even vertical folds. There is no need for hooks, tape or a track, which makes them simple to put up.

Is this price for one curtain or a pair?

This is sold as a pair, so you receive two curtains, one for each side of the window. Check the per pair width against your pole before ordering.

What size should I choose for my window?

Eyelet curtains look best sitting wider than the window so they gather fully when open. Measure your pole width and the drop you want from pole to sill or floor, then pick the nearest size.

What is the fabric like to the touch?

It is a velvet-faced polyester with a soft, subtle sheen and a fine vertical micro-pleat, giving a textured feel rather than a flat, smooth surface.
