Heavy Chenille Velvet Lined Eyelet Curtains - Eucalyptus

These are heavy chenille velvet eyelet curtains in eucalyptus, a soft muted green that sits between grey-green and sage. Each order is a pair, so you are dressing one window with the two panels shown. Chenille gives the cloth its weight and its gentle sheen, and here that weight is the point: the fabric hangs in full, rounded folds rather than thin flat lengths, and it holds its shape from the top of the pole to the floor. The heading runs on eyelets with a 4cm inner diameter, which is a standard size that slides over most curtain poles without fuss and gives that even, wave-like pleat along the top.

They suit a living room or bedroom where you want warmth and a bit of body at the window. The eucalyptus green is quiet enough to work against pale plaster, natural wood floors and neutral furniture, and it earns its place beside cream and stone soft furnishings, as the styled shot with the linen-look chair shows. Because the panels are lined, they block more daylight and street light than an unlined curtain, and they help take the edge off draughts and noise, which makes them a sensible choice for a room you sit in during the evening or a bedroom where you want it darker in the morning.

The curtains are made from polyester and lined, with the chenille velvet face carrying the colour and the drape. Polyester is hard-wearing and holds colour well, and it resists creasing, so the panels settle back into their folds after handling. Before you buy, measure your pole width and drop and compare against the size you select, since the pair needs enough fabric across the width to gather properly. Eucalyptus is one shade in an earthy, muted range, so if this green is not quite yours there are likely to be sibling colourways to look at.

Is this price for one curtain or a pair?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress a single window as shown in the photographs.

Will these fit my curtain pole?

The eyelets have a 4cm inner diameter, which slides over most standard curtain poles. Check your pole thickness against that figure before ordering.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your pole width and the drop you want, then pick the size that gives enough fabric across the width to gather into folds.

What does room-darkening mean here?

The lined chenille blocks more daylight and outside light than an unlined curtain, which helps with privacy and makes a bedroom darker in the morning.

What is chenille velvet like to live with?

Chenille is a soft, weighted cloth with a gentle sheen. Made from polyester, it is hard-wearing, holds its colour and resists creasing between hangings.
