Description
These are heavy chenille velvet curtains in greige, a soft grey-beige that sits between the two and reads warm in the daytime and cool under lamplight. The fabric is 100% polyester chenille, woven with the short raised pile that gives velvet its depth of colour and its quiet sheen, so the folds catch the light differently as they fall. Each pack is a pair of curtains, lined, and finished at the top with metal eyelet rings that thread straight onto a pole. They come in a wide spread of sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, measured as width x height per pair, so there is a fit for a small bedroom window through to a tall living room recess.
Greige is one of the easiest colours to place. It settles happily against pale walls, warm wood floors and natural linen upholstery, which is why it works as well in a calm bedroom as it does in a relaxed living room. The weight of the chenille means the curtains hang in full, rounded folds rather than hanging flat, giving a window a generous, settled look. Because they are lined, they help block draughts and soften daylight, which suits a room you want to feel snug in the evening.
The eyelet heading is the simplest to live with: no hooks, no tape to gather, just slide the rings over the pole and the curtain falls into even pleats on its own. When you order, check the drop against the distance from your pole to the floor or sill, and choose a width comfortably wider than your window so the curtains gather properly when drawn back. Polyester chenille is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, and the pile means it forgives creases better than a flat weave. Pair them with the matching Heavy Chenille cushion for a coordinated, understated finish.

Frequently Asked
Is this one curtain or a pair?
Each pack is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to hang on either side of your window from a single order.
How do I choose the right size?
Sizes run from 117 x 137cm to 229 x 229cm, given as width x height per pair. Measure your pole width and the drop you want, and pick a width wider than the window so they gather when open.
What does the chenille velvet feel like?
Chenille is a soft, plush fabric with a short raised pile, so it feels warm and slightly velvety to the touch and gives the curtains a gentle depth of colour.
Do the eyelets fit a standard pole?
The curtains have metal eyelet rings at the top that slide directly onto a curtain pole, giving even folds without hooks or heading tape to gather.
Are these curtains lined?
Yes, they are lined, which adds body to the drape and helps soften daylight and reduce draughts around the window in the evening.
What colour is greige?
Greige is a mix of grey and beige, a soft neutral that pairs easily with pale walls, wood floors and natural fabrics in most modern rooms.
