Heavy Chenille Velvet Plain Eyelet Curtains - Brown

These are heavy chenille velvet eyelet curtains in a deep, even brown, sold as a pair. The face is a dense chenille with a soft, close pile and a gently washed surface, so the colour shifts subtly as it catches the light rather than reading as a flat block. Weight is the point of a curtain like this: the fabric carries enough body to fall in clean, vertical folds and stay put, which is what gives it that settled, graceful hang rather than the fluttery drape of a thinner cloth.

They suit a living room or bedroom where you want warmth and privacy, and the brown is easy to place against neutral walls, natural wood, jute and greenery, or paired with textured cushions and throws. The eyelet header slides straight onto a pole, so hanging is quick and the pleats form themselves evenly across the top with no tape or hooks to thread. The blackout lining behind the chenille blocks daylight, which makes these a sensible choice for a bedroom, a nursery or any room where a television or morning sun is a problem. In a snug or a north-facing sitting room the extra weight also helps hold heat in once the curtains are drawn.

Both the face and the lining are polyester, which keeps the curtains stable and hard-wearing and means they resist creasing and hold their shape over time. The range comes in several drop and width combinations, so measure your pole width and the distance from ring to floor before choosing, and remember eyelet curtains want a little extra width for the folds. Style them simply on a slim metal pole to let the pile and the drape do the work.

Are these curtains a pair or a single panel?

They are sold as a pair, so you receive two curtain panels in one order, ready to hang either side of your window.

Will they block out daylight?

Yes. There is a blackout lining behind the chenille face, so they block daylight and are well suited to bedrooms, nurseries and rooms with a television.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the width of your pole and the drop from the rings to where you want the hem to sit, then pick the combination nearest to those figures, allowing extra width for folds.

What does the chenille velvet feel like?

It is an ultra-soft, dense pile with a subtly washed appearance, giving the fabric real weight and a smooth, warm surface that catches the light gently.

How do eyelet curtains hang?

The metal rings slide directly onto a curtain pole, so there is no tape or hooks to fit, and the fabric falls into even vertical pleats along the top.
