Neptune Velvet Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Silver

Neptune is a cut velvet curtain in a silver grey, worked over with a geometric design that the pile catches differently as the light moves across it. Each order is a pair, and the range runs across eight sizes, from a 117cm width at 137cm and 183cm drops through to a 229cm width at 229cm, so there is a fit whether you are dressing a small window or a full set of doors. The face is polyester and the lining is polyester, and the header is eyelet, which is the ring-topped heading that slides straight onto a pole.

These suit a living room or a bedroom where you want the window softened and the light held back. The lining is described as room-darkening, so they earn their place at a bedroom window or a south-facing room that runs bright in the afternoon, and the eyelet header gives that even, rolling wave down the length that reads as calm rather than fussy. The silver grey is a quiet neutral that sits happily against pale walls, natural wood floors and warmer metal accents, so you are not committing the whole room to one strong colour. The velvet has enough weight to hang and fall properly rather than flapping thin at the sides.

The velvet is a cut pile, which is what gives the design its texture and the slight sheen you can see where the light hits it, and the eyelet header means hanging is a matter of feeding the rings onto the pole with no hooks or tape to fiddle with. Measure your pole width and your desired drop before you choose a size, remembering the eyelet heading sits a little below the pole. If you are pulling a whole scheme together, the supplier makes a Neptune cushion in the same cloth to coordinate with these curtains.

Are these curtains sold as a pair?

Yes. Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to hang either side of your window or door.

What does the eyelet header do?

The eyelet header is a row of metal rings along the top that you feed straight onto a curtain pole, giving an even wave and quick hanging with no hooks or tape.

Do these block out light?

The lining is described as room-darkening, which blocks a good deal of light and adds privacy, making them well suited to bedrooms and bright, sunny rooms.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your pole width and the drop you want from the pole to where the curtains should finish, then pick the closest size from the eight available, remembering these are per pair.

What is cut velvet?

Cut velvet has a raised pile that is trimmed to form the pattern, which is what gives this cloth its soft texture and the gentle sheen you see as the light moves across it.
