Description
These are a heavyweight eyelet curtain in a chenille weave, sold as a pair and made entirely from polyester on both the face and the lining. The fabric photographs as a soft, warm greige with a close, slightly matt pile that catches the light gently rather than shining, and the drape hangs in deep, weighted folds. If you want curtains that feel substantial and fall properly instead of billowing, the weight of a chenille cloth like this is the thing to look for. They come in eight sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, so you can match the drop to a small window or a full patio door.
Eyelet curtains suit a pole rather than a track, and the ring heading gives that even, rounded pleat you can see across the top of the panels. That makes them a natural fit for a living room or bedroom where you want a clean line and an easy pull across each morning and night. The neutral greige sits happily against oak, rattan and pale walls, and it works with both plain and patterned cushions, so you are not locked into one look. The lined construction gives the panels body and helps them sit flat against the window when drawn.
The eyelets are a 4cm diameter, which is the ring size to check against the width of your curtain pole before you buy, as a pole that is too thick will not pass through. Being polyester through and through, the fabric is hard-wearing, holds its shape and resists creasing, which matters on a long drop where you cannot easily press out a fold. The heading is a lined eyelet and the panels arrive as a matched pair. The supplier describes these as room-darkening, so they will cut daylight considerably without being a full blackout.

Frequently Asked
Are these curtains sold as a pair?
Yes, each size is supplied as a matched pair of panels, so one order covers both sides of a single window.
Will these fit my curtain pole?
The eyelets have a 4cm inner diameter, so measure your pole first and make sure it is no wider than that before ordering.
What does chenille feel like?
Chenille is a soft, densely woven pile fabric with a slightly velvety surface, giving these curtains their weight and warm, matt appearance.
Do these block out light?
The supplier describes them as room-darkening, meaning they reduce incoming daylight considerably for added privacy, though they are not a full blackout.
Which size should I choose?
Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, so match the first figure to your window width and the second to your drop.
Are they easy to look after?
Being fully polyester, the fabric is hard-wearing and resists creasing, which helps the long panels keep their shape over time.
