Manhattan Velvet Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Ivory

The Manhattan is a fully lined eyelet curtain in ivory, woven from cut velvet with a textured geometric pattern that catches the light across the drop. The pattern reads as a soft grid of small, irregular blocks, raised against a smoother ground, so the interest is in the texture rather than in any strong colour. Both the face and the lining are polyester, which is what gives the fabric its weight and its willingness to hang in even folds. This size is a pair measuring 229cm wide by 137cm long, and the range runs from 117cm up to 229cm wide and from 137cm to 229cm long.

These suit a living room or bedroom where you want the window dressed rather than shouted about. The ivory sits happily against warm neutral walls, pale panelling and natural wood floors, and the raised geometric weave keeps the fabric from reading as flat or plain. Because the pair is fully lined, it does more than decorate the window: the lining adds body to the drape and cuts down the light that comes through, which is useful in a bedroom or on a west-facing room that catches the late sun. Hung on a pole through the eyelets, the heading falls into regular deep waves on its own.

The eyelet heading threads straight onto a curtain pole, so there are no hooks or tape to fiddle with, and the ring spacing is what produces that even, unhurried drape. Both layers being polyester means the curtains hold their shape well and resist creasing, which matters on a full-length drop that you would rather not be pressing. Please note this listing is for one pair of curtains. Check your pole width and your desired drop against the size you choose, as a pair should sit comfortably wider than the window to gather properly when drawn.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

This listing is for a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels for your window rather than a single one.

How do I hang eyelet curtains?

The eyelets thread directly onto a curtain pole, so there are no hooks or tape to attach, and the rings space themselves into even folds.

What width should I choose for my window?

A pair should be wider than the window so the fabric gathers properly when drawn. Measure your pole width and compare it against the sizes offered.

Will these help with light and privacy?

They are fully lined, which adds body to the drape and reduces the light coming through, so they help both with privacy and with darkening a room.

What is the fabric like?

It is a cut velvet with a raised geometric texture on a smoother ground. Both the face and the lining are polyester, which gives it weight and a full drape.
