Description
These are our Lustre Velvet eyelet curtains in silver, a pair sold together and made from a plain woven velvet with a soft, low sheen that catches the light across the surface. Each SKU here is a pair, so one purchase dresses the whole window rather than a single side. They come across a wide spread of drops and widths, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match the length to a short window or a full-height one without hemming. The eyelet header rings sit over a pole directly, which is the quickest of all the heading types to hang and drops into even, rounded folds straight away.
Velvet at a window earns its place in a living room or a bedroom, where the weight of the cloth and the density of the pile give you body in the fold and a room that feels settled. The silver here is a pale warm grey rather than a cold one, which sits comfortably against neutral and taupe walls, natural wood floors and a mix of soft furnishings. It is a plain cloth with no pattern to place, so it works alongside a printed cushion or a patterned rug without competing. Measure your pole width and your desired drop before choosing a size, and remember eyelet curtains want to stack back either side of the window when open.
The curtains are fully lined, which adds weight to the hang and helps the folds sit properly, and the lining is a room-darkening one that cuts daylight and adds privacy after dark. The fabric is 100% polyester, which holds colour well, resists creasing and is hard-wearing over years of drawing back and forth. Being a plain velvet, they are an easy anchor for a scheme you build around them. Please follow the care label on your curtains, as heavier lined velvets are often best cleaned professionally.

Frequently Asked
Is this one curtain or a pair?
Each size you select is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to dress both sides of a single window.
What does the lining do?
The curtains are fully lined with a room-darkening lining, which blocks a good deal of daylight, adds privacy after dark and gives the folds extra weight.
How do eyelet curtains hang?
The eyelet rings thread straight onto a curtain pole with no hooks or tape, giving you even rounded folds and a very quick installation.
What is the fabric?
The fabric is 100 percent polyester velvet, a plain cloth with a soft pile and a gentle sheen that holds its colour and resists creasing.
Which size should I choose?
Sizes run from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm per pair, so measure your pole width and your drop before ordering.
How should I care for them?
Please follow the care label supplied with the curtains, as heavier fully lined velvets are often best cleaned professionally rather than machine washed.
