Description
These are eyelet curtains in a cut velvet, sold as a pair, in an ivory cream. The face is polyester and the lining is polyester, and the whole panel is fully lined. What sets Neptune apart from a plain velvet curtain is the geometric cut pattern woven into the pile: a repeating honeycomb of raised dots that catches the light differently as you move past it, so the fabric reads as textured rather than flat. It is a quiet pattern rather than a loud one, and it works because the tone-on-tone ivory keeps the geometry soft.
Eyelet curtains hang from metal rings that thread straight onto a pole, so there is no tape to gather and no hooks to fit. That makes them one of the easier headers to put up, and the rings drop into even, regular folds. This pair suits a living room or a bedroom, and the lining is a room-darkening one, which the supplier tells us blocks light and adds privacy. Because the panels come in several drops and widths, the measurement to get right is the pole-to-hem drop you want and the width of your window; a fuller look wants a total curtain width around one and a half to two times the pole length.
Both face and lining are polyester, which holds colour well, resists creasing and is hard-wearing over years of drawing back and forth. The eyelet header gives a clean top edge with no visible fixings once hung. Style them against panelled or plain walls where the cut-velvet texture can do the talking, and pick out the ivory with warmer metallics on nearby lamps or side tables. If you want the look carried further, the supplier makes a matching Neptune cushion.

Frequently Asked
Do these curtains block out light?
They have a room-darkening lining that the supplier says blocks light and adds privacy, so they cut down daylight, though room-darkening is not the same as full blackout.
How do eyelet curtains hang?
The metal rings along the top thread directly onto a curtain pole, with no tape or hooks needed, and they fall into neat regular folds.
What size should I choose?
Measure your pole-to-hem drop and your window width, then pick a pair whose total width is roughly one and a half to two times your pole length for a full look.
Is the pair one curtain or two?
Each order is a pair, so you receive two panels, one for each side of the window.
What does the velvet feel like?
It is a plush cut velvet with a raised geometric pattern, so the surface is soft with a textured honeycomb relief you can both see and feel.
Is there a matching cushion?
Yes, the supplier makes a Neptune cushion in the same design if you want to carry the look onto a sofa or bed.
