Galaxy Chenille Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Black

The Galaxy eyelet curtains are made from yarn-dyed chenille on a dark base, shot through with flecks of golden highlight that catch the light as the fabric moves. Chenille is a woven pile yarn, so the surface has a soft, textured hand and a slight sheen rather than a flat finish, and it reads as a deep, warm black up close. Each order is a pair of curtains, fully lined, with room-darkening qualities built into the make-up. They come in a range of sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match the drop to your window and the width to the amount of gather you want across the pole.

These suit a moody, low-lit room: a living room where you want to soften daylight, or a bedroom where the room-darkening lining earns its place at night. The dark ground with its golden glint sits well against navy, forest or charcoal walls, and pairs comfortably with brass or warm-metal fittings and rich upholstery. Because the eyelet heading feeds straight onto a pole, they hang in even, rolling folds without tape or hooks to fuss over. The 137cm drop is the one to check first against your window height, measuring from the pole to where you want the hem to fall.

The heading is finished with eyelet rings for quick hanging, and the polyester construction is hard-wearing and does not mark easily, which makes it a practical choice for a room in regular use. Polyester holds its shape well and resists creasing, so the folds stay tidy between washes. There is a matching Galaxy cushion in the same chenille if you want to carry the texture across the room, and the design is offered in a range of jewel-toned colourways alongside this black.

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.

What does room-darkening mean for this fabric?

The curtains are fully lined to reduce the daylight coming through, which helps in a bedroom or a room where you want to soften bright light.

How do the eyelet rings hang?

The heading has metal eyelet rings that feed directly onto a curtain pole, so they hang in even folds with no tape or hooks needed.

What is chenille and how does it feel?

Chenille is a woven pile yarn that gives a soft, textured surface with a gentle sheen, so it feels plush rather than flat to the touch.

Which size should I choose?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, so measure your pole width and the drop from pole to hem before choosing.

Does polyester crease easily?

Polyester holds its shape well and resists creasing, so the folds tend to stay tidy and the fabric does not mark easily in daily use.
