Description
These are soft chenille eyelet curtains in a deep beetroot red, sold as a pair and made from 100% polyester on both the face and the lining. Chenille is a pile yarn, and here it is a matt finish rather than a shiny one, which gives the cloth a warm, cosy texture and a weight that helps the fabric hang in even folds. The eyelet header threads straight onto a pole, so hanging is quick and the top gathers into regular pleats without hooks or tape. This is a fully lined, blackout curtain, which means the fabric is built to block daylight rather than filter it.
A blackout curtain earns its place in a bedroom, where cutting out early light and streetlight matters, and it works just as well in a living room where you want to darken the space for an evening in. The rich beetroot tone sits comfortably against warm neutral and blush walls, and pairs happily with wood furniture and green upholstery of the kind shown here. Because the eyelet top needs a pole rather than a track, check what you have at the window before ordering. This pair comes in eight ready-made sizes, so measure your pole width and the drop you want first.
Sizes run from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm, giving you options for a narrow window through to a wide one, and the width figure is the total across the pair. The matt chenille face means no glare from lamplight, and the polyester construction is hard-wearing and holds its shape. Being polyester throughout, the cloth is easy to live with and resists creasing. Style it simply and let the depth of colour and the drape do the work.

Frequently Asked
Are these curtains fully blackout?
Yes, the supplier describes them as 100% blackout, so the fabric is made to block out daylight and streetlight rather than simply filter it.
Do I need a pole or will they fit a track?
They have an eyelet header, which threads onto a curtain pole. Eyelet curtains are made for poles rather than tracks, so check your fitting first.
What does the width measurement refer to?
Because this is a pair, the width figure is the total across both curtains combined. Measure your pole width to choose the right size for good fullness.
What is chenille like to the touch?
Chenille is a soft pile yarn, and here it has a matt finish rather than a sheen, giving a warm, cosy texture that hangs in full, even folds.
What colour are they, really?
They are a deep beetroot red, a rich wine tone that suits warm neutral walls and wood furniture. The pile gives a slightly deeper shade in the folds.
