Description
These are fully lined eyelet curtains in a plain velvet, sold as a pair, in a soft oyster shade that sits between warm beige and pale champagne. Velvet is what defines them: a dense, short-pile fabric that catches and holds the light, so the surface shifts gently in tone as you move past it or as daylight changes through the day. The pile gives the fabric real weight and body, which is why velvet curtains hang in deep, rounded folds rather than falling flat. The header is eyelet, meaning the top edge carries fixed metal rings that thread straight onto a pole for a neat, evenly spaced pleat.
A pair like this suits a living room or bedroom where you want warmth and a bit of quiet drama at the window without a busy pattern competing with the rest of the room. The plain finish means the texture does the work, so these sit comfortably against panelled walls, painted plaster or wallpaper alike, and pair easily with linen or wool upholstery in stone, grey and other soft neutrals. Because velvet reads as a warm, substantial fabric, it works well in rooms you use in the evening.
The curtains come lined, which adds body to the hang and helps them sit and drape properly from the pole. They are made from polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that resists creasing and holds colour well over time, so the oyster tone stays even with use. Eyelet headers are quick to hang, sliding onto a standard curtain pole with no hooks or tape to arrange. To dress them, run your hand down each fold once hung so the pleats settle evenly, and choose a pole slightly wider than the window so the curtains clear the glass when open.

Frequently Asked
Is this price for one curtain or a pair?
This is sold as a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels together, ready to hang either side of your window.
What does the eyelet header need to hang from?
Eyelet curtains thread directly onto a curtain pole through the fixed metal rings along the top, so you need a pole rather than a track.
What is the fabric like to the touch?
It is a plain velvet with a short, dense pile that feels soft and gives a gentle sheen that shifts as the light and your viewing angle change.
Will the colour suit a neutral room?
Oyster is a soft warm beige that sits easily with stone, grey and cream, so it settles into most neutral schemes without dominating them.
How do I get the folds to hang evenly?
Once hung, run your hand down each fold from top to bottom so the pleats settle, and choose a pole a little wider than the window.
What sizes are available?
The range runs from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, so measure your pole width and drop before choosing a size.
