Soft Chenille Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Charcoal

These are eyelet curtains woven from soft chenille, and the fabric is the whole point. Chenille is a pile weave, and here the pile is matt rather than shiny, which gives it that dense, cosy texture you can see catching the light softly across the folds. Both the face and the lining are 100% polyester. They are sold as a pair, and they come in a wide spread of sizes so you can match the drop and width of your window rather than settle for the nearest fit.

Charcoal is a grey that leans dark, and it earns its place in a living room or bedroom because it grounds a scheme without going fully black. In the photographs it sits comfortably against a pale wall and a dusky pink cushion, which tells you it is a warm-neutral partner rather than a stark one. Because the fabric is a blackout weave, these suit a bedroom where you want the morning kept out, or a snug where you want the evening kept in. The eyelet header slides straight onto a pole, so hanging them is quick and the top gathers into even, rounded pleats on its own.

The header is the eyelet type, which needs a curtain pole rather than a track, and the ring spacing gives you that regular wave you can see in the drape. Polyester holds its shape and resists creasing, and it stands up to regular use without much fuss. To keep the finish looking right, dress the folds by hand after hanging and let them settle. The charcoal is one colourway among several the range offers, so if a different room wants a lighter tone the same curtain is likely available in it.

Do these curtains block out light?

Yes, they are made from a blackout fabric, so they are well suited to a bedroom or any room where you want to keep daylight out and privacy in.

What kind of pole do I need to hang them?

They have an eyelet header, which means they thread directly onto a curtain pole. They are not made for a track, so you will need a pole to hang them.

Are these sold singly or as a pair?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels. Check the width figure carefully, as it applies to the pair rather than a single panel.

What is chenille and how does it feel?

Chenille is a woven pile fabric with a soft, dense surface. This one is matt rather than shiny, which gives it a cosy, textured feel and a drape that falls softly.

Which size should I choose?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm. Measure your window width and the drop you want from the pole, then pick the size closest above your measurements.
