Description
These are velvet eyelet curtains in a warm olive green, woven with a soft tone-on-tone stripe that runs the full drop. The pile catches the light along the raised bands and holds shadow in the recessed ones, so the stripe reads clearly in bright rooms and softens to a gentle rhythm in the evening. The face and lining are both polyester, which gives velvet its characteristic weight and drape without the price or the fuss of a natural pile. Each curtain sold here is a pair, and the range runs across several sizes so you can match the drop and width to your window rather than the other way round.
Velvet curtains earn their place in a living room or a bedroom, anywhere you want the window dressed with real presence and a bit of warmth underfoot of the eye. The olive sits comfortably against warm neutral walls, deep greens and natural wood, as the photographs show alongside a forest-green sofa and a bronze curtain pole. The fully lined build gives the fabric body, so it hangs in even columns rather than clinging to the window, and the eyelet header slides straight onto a pole for a clean, even wave with no hooks or tape to work out.
The header is an eyelet, which means it drops over your pole directly and gathers into regular folds every time you draw it. The lining is described by the maker as room-darkening, reducing the light that comes through and adding privacy after dark, which makes these a sensible choice for a bedroom or a west-facing sitting room. The supplier notes matching cushions are available if you want to carry the olive across the room. Measure your pole width and your desired drop before choosing a size, since eyelet curtains want a little extra width to wave properly.

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 the window from one purchase.
How much light do they block?
The maker describes the lining as room-darkening, which reduces the light coming through and adds privacy, though it is a lining rather than full blackout.
What are they made from?
Both the face and the lining are 100% polyester, giving the velvet its weight and even drape while keeping the fabric easy to live with.
What size should I choose?
Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, so measure your pole width and the drop you want before selecting, allowing extra width for the wave.
How does the eyelet header work?
The eyelets are metal rings set into the top of each panel, so the curtain slides straight onto a pole and falls into regular folds with no hooks or tape.
