Neptune Velvet Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Charcoal

The Neptune curtains are made from cut velvet in a deep charcoal, worked with a raised geometric pattern that catches the light across its surface. Look closely at the cloth and you can see a honeycomb of small rounded shapes, each one standing slightly proud of the ground so the face shifts between matt and sheen as you move past it. They hang as a pair, on an eyelet header, and come in a spread of drops and widths from a shorter 117cm drop up to a full-length 229cm, so you can match them to most standard window and door openings.

Charcoal is a forgiving depth of colour in a curtain. It reads as a soft near-black in daylight and settles into the shadows at night, which suits a living room or bedroom where you want the window to recede rather than draw the eye. The raised velvet pattern gives the panels enough interest to stand on their own against plain walls, while sitting quietly alongside patterned rugs or a busy sofa. Behind glazed doors they fall in even folds from the eyelets, and the deep tone works with both warm wood floors and cooler painted panelling.

The panels are fully lined, which gives them body, a fuller drape and a room-darkening effect that blocks light and adds privacy after dark. The eyelet header simply threads over a pole, so hanging is quick and the top gathers into regular waves without hooks or tape. The face and lining are both polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds colour well and resists creasing, so the folds stay neat between the top and hem. Pair them with the matching Neptune cushion, which the supplier makes alongside these curtains, for a co-ordinated look.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to hang either side of a window or door from a single pole.

How do the eyelets hang?

The eyelet header has ring openings along the top that thread straight over a curtain pole, gathering the fabric into even folds with no hooks or heading tape needed.

Will these block the light?

They are fully lined with a room-darkening lining that reduces incoming light and adds privacy, though this is not a fully blackout curtain.

What is the velvet made from?

Both the face and the lining are 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds its colour and resists creasing, so the folds stay neat over time.

Which size should I choose?

Sizes run from a 117cm width and 137cm drop up to 229cm each way, quoted as width by drop, so measure your pole and desired length before ordering.

How is the pattern made?

It is a cut velvet with a raised geometric honeycomb design, so the pile stands proud of the ground and catches the light as you move past the panels.
