Heavy Chenille Velvet Lined Eyelet Curtains - Beetroot

These are heavy chenille velvet eyelet curtains in a deep beetroot red, sold as a pair and made from 100% polyester face and lining. The weight is the point here: a dense chenille velvet hangs in full, rounded folds rather than thin pleats, and the close-up of the cloth shows a soft, slightly mottled pile that catches the light differently as it drops. The eyelet heading has a 4cm ring diameter, so the curtains thread straight onto a standard pole and gather into even waves without hooks or tape. They come in a range of drops and widths, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, so measure your pole width and the finished drop before you choose.

Velvet-weight curtains suit a living room or bedroom where you want the window dressed properly rather than just covered. The photographs show them at a garden door and against a warm neutral wall, and the beetroot red sits comfortably with wood tones, cream upholstery and darker furniture. Because the fabric is dense, these are the curtains you reach for when a room feels cold or over-bright: the supplier describes them as room-darkening, which means they cut a good deal of daylight and add privacy after dark. A matching velvet cushion appears alongside them in the room shot, so they slot into a scheme rather than sitting apart from it.

Both the face and the lining are polyester, which holds colour well and resists creasing, so the drape stays smooth without much fuss. Polyester is quick to dry and does not shrink the way some natural fibres can, which matters on something this large. The eyelet size is worth checking against your pole: a 4cm ring wants a pole no thicker than about 3.5cm to slide freely. Dress the folds by hand when you first hang them and they will settle into a regular wave.

Is this price for one curtain or a pair?

The listing is for a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress both sides of a window from a single order.

What size pole do the eyelets fit?

The eyelets have a 4cm inner diameter, so choose a pole no thicker than roughly 3.5cm to let the rings slide and gather freely.

How do I choose the right size?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, so measure your pole width and your desired drop, then pick the nearest fit above your measurement.

What is the fabric made from?

Both the face and the lining are 100% polyester chenille velvet, which holds its colour, resists creasing and gives a heavy, full drape.

Do these block out light?

The supplier describes them as room-darkening, so the dense velvet cuts a good deal of daylight and adds privacy, though they are not stated to be fully blackout.

Will the eyelet heading work on any pole?

The heading threads directly onto a pole, so you need a pole rather than a track, sized to pass through the 4cm rings.
