Heath Washed Velvet Jacquard Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Cotta

The Heath curtains are made from an enzyme-washed velvet with a jacquard weave running through the cloth, and that combination is what sets them apart. The wash softens the pile and gives the fabric its lived-in, slightly broken texture, while the jacquard adds a fine grain of pattern into the weave itself rather than printing it on the surface. In the close-up you can see the effect clearly: a warm terracotta-pink ground, called Cotta here, with a subtle vertical striation catching the light. Sold as a pair of fully lined eyelet curtains, they come in a wide spread of drops and widths so you can match a range of windows.

These suit a calm, considered room rather than a busy one. The soft weathered pink works with warm neutral walls, wood tones and natural flooring, as the setting photographs show, and it sits comfortably in a living room, a bedroom or a snug. The eyelet header slides straight onto a pole and gives an even, rolling pleat when the curtains are drawn back, so they look tidy open as well as closed. Because they are fully lined, they hang with weight and body and hold a soft column rather than clinging to the window.

The face and lining are both polyester, which is easy to live with: it resists creasing, holds colour well and drapes with a fluid fall. The eyelet top means no hooks or tape to fuss with, just thread the pole through. When ordering, the drops run from 137cm up to 229cm and the widths from 117cm up to 229cm per pair, so measure your pole width and the length from ring to sill or floor before choosing. Style them full and generous, with the pole set wide of the window so the fabric stacks clear of the glass.

Is this price for one curtain or a pair?

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

How do I hang eyelet curtains?

The eyelet header has metal rings sewn into the top, so you simply thread your curtain pole straight through them with no hooks or heading tape needed.

What does enzyme-washed velvet feel like?

The wash softens the velvet pile and gives the cloth a gently broken, tactile surface, so it feels soft to the hand rather than stiff or overly plush.

Are these curtains lined?

Yes, they are fully lined, which adds weight and body so the fabric hangs in a soft column and drapes cleanly when open or closed.

Which size should I choose?

Measure the width of your pole and the drop from the rings to your sill or floor, then pick from the range running up to 229cm wide and 229cm long per pair.

What colour is Cotta?
