Lustre Velvet Plain Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Ivory

These are our Lustre Velvet eyelet curtains, made from a plain velvet with the soft, close pile you can see catching the light across every fold in the photographs. The fabric is 100% polyester, which is what gives velvet of this kind its weight and its steady, even drape rather than the crumple of a lighter cloth. They are sold as a pair, fully lined, in a warm ivory that reads as a soft cream against pale panelled walls. Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a drop and a width to suit most standard windows as well as taller ones.

Velvet earns its place in a living room or a bedroom where you want the window to feel finished and the room to feel calmer for it. The pile absorbs a little sound and softens the hard lines of a window reveal, and the lining sits behind the face fabric to help hold back light and give you more privacy after dark. Ivory is the easy choice here because it works with almost any wall colour and sits happily beside natural wood, brass fittings and the neutral upholstery you can see in the room shot. Hang it high and wide and the drop reads longer.

The header is an eyelet top, so the curtains thread straight onto a pole and fall into regular, even pleats without tape or hooks to fuss over. Choose your drop close to the distance from the pole to the floor, and check the width against your window, remembering a pair should be fuller than the opening so it gathers well when drawn. Because the face fabric is polyester, it holds colour and shape and tends to shed creases once hung. This is a plain design, so it pairs readily with pattern elsewhere in the room.

Are these curtains sold as a pair or singly?

They are sold as a pair, so you receive two curtain panels ready to hang together on a single pole.

What does the velvet feel like?

It is a plain velvet with a soft, dense pile and a gentle sheen, which gives the fabric weight and a smooth, even drape when hung.

How do I choose the right size?

Match the drop to the distance from your pole to the floor, and pick a width fuller than your window so the pair gathers well when drawn.

Do the eyelets fit a standard pole?

The eyelet header threads straight onto a curtain pole and falls into even folds without the need for tape, hooks or additional heading.

Are these curtains lined?

Yes, they are fully lined, with the lining sitting behind the velvet face fabric to help hold back light and add privacy after dark.
