Heavy Chenille Velvet Plain Eyelet Curtains - Charcoal

These are a pair of heavy chenille velvet eyelet curtains in charcoal, a deep near-black grey with the soft, faintly washed surface chenille gives you. The weave is dense and the cloth carries real weight, which is what lets it fall into the long, rounded folds you can see hanging from the pole. They are woven from polyester face and lining, and a blackout lining sits behind the face cloth so the pair blocks out daylight when drawn. They come in a spread of sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match both the width of your window and the drop you need to the sill or the floor.

Curtains like these earn their place in a bedroom, where the blackout lining is the point: it keeps early summer mornings and street lighting out and holds a room dark for sleep. They work just as well in a living room you want to feel calm and enclosed of an evening. The charcoal reads as a grounding neutral rather than a colour, so it sits happily against pale walls, natural wood and the muted greens and creams of a relaxed, contemporary room. The chenille pile catches the light softly along each fold, giving the drape depth without any pattern to work around.

The heading is an eyelet top, which means the curtains thread straight onto a pole and pleat themselves into even waves as you draw them, with no hooks or track to fit. Because a curtain SKU here is a pair, one order dresses a single window with two panels. Measure your pole width and your preferred drop before choosing a size, and remember eyelet curtains want a little extra width for that gathered fullness. A weighted chenille drape like this rewards a pole set a touch above and wide of the window.

Do these curtains actually block out the light?

Yes, they carry a blackout lining behind the chenille face, so a drawn pair keeps a room dark for sleep and shuts out street lighting.

How many curtains come in one order?

One order is a pair, so you receive two panels to dress a single window. Check the size covers your full pole width across both panels.

What does an eyelet heading mean for hanging them?

The eyelets thread straight onto a curtain pole and the fabric falls into even folds. There are no hooks or track to fit, so hanging is quick.

What is chenille velvet like to live with?

Chenille is a soft, densely woven pile fabric with a gentle sheen. It has real weight, which is why these curtains hang with a full, rounded drape.

Which size should I choose?

Measure your pole width and the drop you want, from sill to floor, then pick the size closest above your figures. Eyelet curtains want extra width for fullness.
