Heavy Chenille Velvet Lined Eyelet Curtains - Natural

These are heavy chenille velvet curtains, made from 100% polyester and hung on eyelet rings. The photographs show a soft, warm natural beige with a subtle woven texture visible in the swatch, a plain unpatterned face that catches the light gently across its folds. Chenille is a pile fabric, which is what gives this cloth its soft hand and the quiet depth of colour you see where the fabric drapes. The curtains come as a pair and are sold in a range of drop and width combinations, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match them to most standard windows.

Eyelet curtains suit a pole rather than a track, and the metal rings you can see along the heading slide straight on with no hooks or tape to fuss with. That makes them a practical choice for a living room, a bedroom or a study where you want to open and close them daily. The neutral tone sits easily against grey, cream or wood-toned walls, and in the room shot they read as calm and understated next to rust and cream accents. If you like a relaxed, contemporary neutral scheme rather than a bold feature, this is the sort of curtain that recedes and lets the rest of the room speak.

The fabric is lined, which adds body to the drape and helps the curtains hang in even folds, as you can see in the close-up of the heading. Being 100% polyester, chenille of this kind is hard-wearing and holds its shape well over time. Measure your pole width and your desired drop before choosing a size: the first figure is the width of the pair and the second is the drop, so match the drop to the distance from your pole to where you want the hem to fall. The supplier names a matching Heavy Chenille cushion if you want to carry the texture through the room.

Do these curtains come as a pair?

Yes, each size is sold as a pair of curtains, so the width figure quoted is the combined width of both panels together.

What does the eyelet heading need to hang?

The eyelet rings thread directly onto a curtain pole, so you will need a pole rather than a track to hang them.

How do I choose the right size?

The first measurement is the width of the pair and the second is the drop, so measure your pole width and the distance to your desired hem.

What is chenille velvet like to the touch?

Chenille is a soft pile fabric, which gives this cloth a warm, plush hand and a gentle depth of colour where it folds.

Are the curtains lined?

Yes, they are lined, which adds weight to the drape and helps the panels hang in even, well-formed folds.
