Neptune Velvet Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Copper

Neptune is a pair of eyelet curtains cut from a geometric velvet, with a small honeycomb pattern that catches the light differently as the fabric moves. The pile is worked so that some cells sit raised and others recede, which gives the cloth its depth and stops a plain copper from reading flat. The face is polyester and so is the lining, and the two are made up together into a fully lined panel that hangs with real weight. This size is sold as a pair measuring 229cm drop by 137cm width per curtain, and the range runs across eight sizes from a 117cm drop up to 229cm, in both narrower and wider panels.

These are made for a living room or bedroom where you want the window dressed properly and the light brought down. The lining is a room-darkening one, so it holds back daylight and adds privacy after dark, which suits a bedroom or a room with an early sun. The warm copper tone sits well against pale walls, panelled woodwork and brass or gold accents, and it works with the kind of textured, earthy scheme where a boucle chair or a dried grass display already lives. Pair them with the matching Neptune cushion if you want the pattern picked up elsewhere in the room.

The header is an eyelet one, which threads straight onto a pole and falls into even folds without hooks or tape to fuss over. Polyester is the practical choice here: it is hard-wearing, holds its colour and does not crease the way a natural fibre can, so the drape stays clean once the curtains have hung out. Check your pole width and your desired drop against the panel sizes before ordering, since eyelet curtains want a little fullness gathered along the pole. Follow the care guidance on the sewn-in label. Styled simply, the cut velvet does the work on its own.

Is this a pair of curtains or a single panel?

This is sold as a pair, so you receive two curtain panels ready to hang either side of your window on an eyelet pole.

How do I know which size to choose?

Each size is listed as drop by width per curtain, running from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so measure your pole width and drop first and allow extra width for gathered fullness.

Will these block out the light?

They have a room-darkening lining that holds back a good deal of daylight and adds privacy after dark, which makes them a sensible choice for a bedroom.

What is the velvet made from?

Both the face and the lining are 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds its colour well and resists creasing, so the drape stays neat.

How do I hang eyelet curtains?

The eyelets thread directly onto a curtain pole, so there are no hooks or heading tape to deal with and the fabric falls into even folds along the pole.

Does the pattern feel raised to the touch?

Yes, this is a cut velvet with a geometric honeycomb design worked into the pile, so the surface has a soft, textured feel rather than being flat.
