Soft Chenille Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Natural

These are eyelet curtains in a soft chenille fabric, sold as a pair. Chenille is a woven cloth with a raised, brushed pile, and here it is a matt finish rather than a shiny one, which gives the curtain a warm, dense look and a good weight in the hand. The colour is a warm natural, a pale oatmeal beige that reads soft against both white and darker walls. They are a blackout curtain: the fabric is built to block daylight, so a bedroom stays dark in summer mornings and a living room keeps its brightness in when the lamps are on. Both the face and the lining are polyester, which is the practical choice here because it holds colour, resists creasing and takes a good deal of daily handling.

Eyelet curtains suit a pole rather than a track, and the metal rings slide straight over it, so hanging is a quick job with no hooks or tape to fuss over. They fall into even, rounded folds from the top, which is the look you can see in the photographs. This makes them at home in a living room, a bedroom or a study, anywhere you want a clean, unbroken drape and control over the light. The natural tone sits happily beside wood, rust and other warm neutrals.

The header is an eyelet, giving that smooth pleated finish along the pole and an easy pull across the window. They come in a wide spread of drops and widths, so you can match the pair to a short window or a tall one and to the width of your run. Measure your pole rather than your window, and allow for the fullness a pair gathers into when closed. The chenille pile is what gives these their cosy hand, so they work well layered with velvet and other textured pieces.

Do these curtains block out the light?

Yes, the fabric is a blackout weave designed to stop daylight passing through, which helps keep a bedroom dark for sleeping or lie-ins.

Will they fit a curtain pole or a track?

They have an eyelet header, so the rings slide directly over a pole. They are not made for a track that takes hooks or tape.

What does the chenille feel like?

Chenille has a raised, brushed pile that feels soft and dense to the touch, and here it is a matt finish rather than a shiny one.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the width of your pole and the drop you want from pole to floor or sill, then pick the pair closest to those figures allowing for fullness.

Is the pair one curtain or two?

Each listing is a pair, so you receive two curtains, one for each side of the window, ready to hang together.
