Galaxy Chenille Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Emerald

The Galaxy eyelet curtains are woven from yarn-dyed chenille, a fabric whose short, dense pile is what gives it that soft, slightly velvety hand and its quiet depth of tone. The base reads as a deep emerald green shot through with fine golden flecks, so the cloth shifts a little as the light moves across it rather than sitting flat. They are fully lined and made to darken a room, which is the single most useful thing to know before you buy: this is a curtain chosen for how much light it holds back, not one you hang for a soft daytime glow. A pair comes ready with eyelet rings punched along the heading, so they thread straight onto a pole with no hooks or tape to fit.

These suit a room you want to feel enclosed and calm, a bedroom where morning light is unwelcome, or a living room set up for evenings and screens. The moody green and gold sit naturally against dark or richly painted walls, warm woods and brass or copper fittings, and they hold their own in a scheme built around jewel tones rather than pale neutrals. If you already own the Galaxy cushion, the two are made to be read together for a coordinated look.

The chenille is 100% polyester, which is the reason it wears the way it does: polyester is hard-wearing, holds colour well, resists everyday marks and does not crease as readily as many natural fibres, so the drape settles cleanly once hung. Each SKU is a pair of curtains, and the range runs across several drops and widths, so measure your pole width and the length you want to the sill or the floor before choosing. Sizes span from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm. Buy the pair to match your window and your pole, and dress the folds by hand once they are up.

How much light do these curtains block?

They are fully lined with room-darkening qualities, so they hold back a good deal of daylight, which makes them well suited to bedrooms and rooms used for evening viewing.

What does chenille feel like?

Chenille has a short, dense pile that gives it a soft, slightly velvety hand and a quiet depth of colour, so the cloth feels substantial and drapes with weight.

Do I get one curtain or a pair?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress both sides of the window from a single purchase.

How do I hang them?

They come with eyelet rings set into the heading, so you simply thread them straight onto a curtain pole with no hooks, rings or heading tape needed.

Which size should I choose?

Measure your pole width and the drop you want to the sill or floor, then pick from the range, which runs from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair.

Why polyester for curtains?

Polyester is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, resists everyday marks and creases less readily than many natural fibres, so the drape stays clean once the curtains are hung.
