Description
These eyelet curtains are made from a soft chenille face, a plain weave with a gently matt surface rather than a sheen. Chenille takes its character from short, dense pile threads, which is what gives the cloth its close, cosy handle and the way it catches light softly across the drop. The colour is a warm olive green, and the fabric is fully lined so the panels hang with real weight. They are sold as a pair and come in a range of widths and drops, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a size to suit a small bedroom window through to a wide living room bay.
Eyelet curtains slide straight onto a pole through the ring openings along the top, which is why they go up quickly and fall into even, regular folds without any hooks or tape to fuss over. The olive tone sits happily against warm neutrals, ochre and rust, and works as well in a bedroom as in a sitting room. The lining adds body and helps the panels feel substantial when drawn, and the plain finish means they pair with a patterned cushion or a bolder chair without competing for attention.
The face and lining are both polyester, a hard-wearing choice that holds its shape and shrugs off day-to-day wear. When you order, measure your pole width and the drop you want carefully, since eyelet panels are best chosen a little wider than the window so they gather nicely when open. Check the individual size against your window before buying, as each variant states a fixed width and drop. The matt chenille surface is what sets these apart from a shiny curtain fabric, giving a quieter, more understated look across the whole panel.

Frequently Asked
Is the price for one curtain or a pair?
Each size is sold as a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to hang either side of your window.
What does the chenille fabric feel like?
Chenille has a short dense pile that gives a soft, close handle with a matt surface rather than a shine, so the panels look and feel cosy.
How do eyelet curtains hang?
The ring openings along the top slide directly onto a curtain pole, which forms even regular folds and makes them quick to put up.
What size should I choose for my window?
Measure your pole width and the drop you want, then pick a pair a little wider than the window so the fabric gathers well when open.
Are the curtains lined?
Yes, both the face and the lining are polyester, which adds weight and body so the panels hang with a fuller drape.
