Description
These are heavy chenille velvet eyelet curtains in charcoal, sold as a pair and made from 100% polyester. Chenille velvet is a densely piled cloth, and the weight is what does the work here: the fabric hangs in deep, even folds rather than thin ripples, and the close-up shows a soft, faintly lustrous pile that catches the light differently as it moves. The charcoal is a genuine dark grey, not a black, with the pile giving it a slightly washed, shaded look across the drops. The curtains come lined, which adds body and helps the folds sit properly. They are available across a wide range of drops and widths, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm.
Eyelet curtains are the simplest heading to live with: the metal rings thread straight onto a pole, so hanging and drawing them is quick and there are no hooks or tape to fuss over. The dark charcoal and the heavy fold suit a living room or bedroom where you want the window to feel finished and the light to soften in the evening. In the room shot they sit against warm neutral walls and pale timber, and the depth of the grey stops a light scheme from feeling flat. They work equally well in a cooler, more modern space where charcoal is the anchor colour.
Because the fabric is polyester chenille, it is hard-wearing and holds its shape well, which matters on a large drop that carries its own weight. Being a woven pile, the cloth reads as plain from across the room but has real texture up close, so it earns its place without a pattern. Curtain sizing is width first, then drop, so check the pole width you need to cover and the length from ring to floor before choosing. If you like the look, the supplier makes a matching Heavy Chenille cushion in the same fabric to pull the scheme together.

Frequently Asked
Is this one curtain or a pair?
The listing is for a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to hang either side of the window.
How do I hang eyelet curtains?
The eyelet rings thread directly onto a curtain pole, so there are no hooks or heading tape to deal with and they draw smoothly along the rod.
Which measurement do I check first?
Curtain sizes are given width first then drop, so measure your pole width and the length from the ring to the floor before choosing a size.
What does the chenille velvet fabric feel like?
Chenille velvet is a woven pile fabric, so it feels soft and dense to the touch and hangs in heavy, well defined folds.
Are the curtains lined?
Yes, these curtains come lined, which adds weight and helps the drops hang in full, even folds rather than thin pleats.
What colour is the charcoal exactly?
It is a deep, dark grey with a slightly washed, shaded appearance from the pile, sitting well against both warm neutral and cooler modern schemes.
