Description
These Regency Stripe curtains are made in velvet with a subtle self-stripe running the drop, so the pattern reads more as a shift in the pile than as a bold contrast. The face and lining are both polyester, which is what gives velvet its close, even pile and its slight sheen where the light catches it. They are sold as a pair, fully lined, and hung on an eyelet header. In the photographs the cloth reads as a soft warm beige, deepening a little where the folds gather and catching a gentle glow along the raised ribs.
Velvet has real weight to it, so these suit a living room or bedroom window where you want the drape to hang in full, rounded folds rather than sit flat. The eyelet header slides straight onto a pole and gives that regular, wave-like pleat you can see across the top of the panels, which is why eyelet curtains are the quickest of all the header types to put up. They sit well against warm neutral walls and wooden floors, and pair comfortably with a brown or tan sofa where the tones are already in the room.
The lining is designed to reduce the light coming through and to add a layer of privacy after dark, which also helps the pair feel cosier and quieter at the window. Care will depend on the wash label sewn into the panel, so follow that rather than any general rule for velvet. Fold the panels along the natural pleats when you take them down and the pile will settle back quickly. The supplier notes matching cushions are made to go with this range, if you want to carry the same velvet through to the sofa.

Frequently Asked
Are these curtains sold as a pair?
Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress both sides of your window.
What does the lining do?
The lining is a room-darkening one, which reduces the amount of light coming through and adds privacy after dark, helping the room feel cosier.
What is the eyelet header like to hang?
The eyelets slide straight onto a curtain pole, giving even wave-like folds, and it is the fastest header type to put up with no hooks or tape needed.
What sizes are available?
The range runs from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm per pair, so measure your pole width and drop before choosing which panel suits your window.
How should I care for velvet curtains?
Follow the wash label sewn into the panel, and fold the curtains along their natural pleats when stored so the pile settles back into shape.
