Heavy Chenille Velvet Plain Eyelet Curtains - Greige

These are heavy chenille velvet curtains in greige, a soft grey-brown that sits between the two and shifts with the light. The fabric has an understated washed appearance, so the surface catches the light unevenly and gives the drape a quiet depth rather than a flat, uniform sheen. Every curtain is a pair, and the eyelet header runs across the top so the curtain slides straight onto a pole with no hooks, tape or track to fit first. They come in eight sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match the width of your window and choose whether the length sits at the sill, below it, or pools slightly on the floor.

Greige is a colour that works hard in a room without demanding attention. It suits a calm, contemporary living room or a bedroom you want to keep restful, and it sits easily beside cream, oatmeal and natural wood as well as against warmer earthy tones. The weight of the chenille means these hang with real body, falling into deep, even folds rather than thin creases, which reads as generous whether they are drawn across or held back at the sides. Measure your pole width and add for the gather so the fabric still folds fully when open.

The face and lining are both polyester, which holds colour well, resists creasing and stands up to daily drawing back and forth. The lining is a blackout lining, so it blocks daylight and helps keep a room private after dark, which makes these a sensible choice for a bedroom or a room that catches the morning sun. Polyester is also easy to look after and keeps its shape over time. Style them plain against a smooth wall for a modern look, or layer with textured cushions and a woven rug to soften the scheme.

Do these curtains come as a pair?

Yes, every size is sold as a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress both sides of your window.

Will these block out daylight?

They have a blackout lining, so they block daylight and add privacy after dark, which suits bedrooms and rooms that catch the morning sun.

How do they hang on the pole?

They have an eyelet header, so the metal-ringed top slides directly onto a curtain pole with no hooks or tape needed first.

What size should I choose?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm to 229 x 229cm. Measure your pole width and add extra so the fabric still gathers into full folds when open.

What is the fabric made from?

Both the face and the lining are polyester, which holds its colour, resists creasing and copes well with being drawn back and forth every day.
