The Ultimate Velvet Plain Fully Lined Eyelet Curtains - Olive

These are The Ultimate Velvet eyelet curtains in a deep olive green, sold as a pair. The face is a plain matt velvet with a short, dense pile that catches the light softly rather than sharply, so the colour shifts a little as the folds fall. There is no pattern to line up or fuss over; the interest is all in the texture and the way velvet holds a fold. They come fully lined, which is what gives them their weight and their fluid drape, and they hang from a ready-punched eyelet header that slides straight onto a pole.

This is a curtain for a living room, a bedroom or a study where you want the window to feel dressed and the room to feel warmer. The olive sits comfortably against neutral walls and pairs happily with rust, mustard and warm timber, as the styling shots show. The lining adds a room-darkening quality that helps with privacy and cuts the light on bright mornings, which makes these a sensible choice over a bedroom or a west-facing sitting room. Because the header is eyelet, hanging is quick: no hooks, no tape to gather, just thread the pole through and space the pleats by hand.

The pair comes in a wide spread of drops and widths, so measure your pole width and your desired finished length before choosing. Both the face and the lining are polyester, which means the fabric is hard-wearing, holds its colour and resists creasing better than a natural pile would. Velvet as a surface rewards a gentle touch: brush the pile occasionally to keep it sitting evenly and lift the folds when you draw them. The olive is one of several colourways in the range, so if you are dressing more than one window you can match rooms or step through a shared palette.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to dress both sides of a single window.

Will these block out the morning light?

They are fully lined with a room-darkening lining that blocks light and adds privacy, though as eyelet curtains some light will still edge in around the sides.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your pole width and the drop you want from pole to sill or floor, then pick the pair closest to those figures from the sizes offered.

What does the eyelet header need to hang?

The header has ready-punched rings that thread straight onto a curtain pole, so you need a pole rather than a track and no separate hooks or tape.

How do I keep the velvet looking good?

Velvet has a pile that benefits from an occasional gentle brush to keep it sitting evenly, and lifting the folds as you draw them helps them hang cleanly.

What colour is the fabric?

It is a deep olive green with a matt velvet finish, warmer and more golden in bright light and darker in the folds.
