The Ultimate Velvet Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Burgundy

These are a pair of eyelet curtains in a plain velvet, made from a woven polyester with a polyurethane backing and finished in a deep burgundy red. The velvet is a matt one rather than a shiny one, so the surface reads as soft and even, catching the light gently along the folds rather than glinting. Because a curtain SKU is a pair, ordering one item hangs both sides of the window. They come across eight sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a drop and a width to suit most standard windows as well as taller and wider openings.

Velvet works hard in a living room or a bedroom, where its weight and pile add warmth to a space and help a window feel finished. The burgundy sits comfortably against neutral and warm walls, and the styling photograph shows it working alongside a dusky pink armchair and pale accents, where the darker red anchors the scheme. Because velvet carries texture as much as colour, it suits rooms that are otherwise fairly plain, giving the eye something to settle on without a pattern to compete with the rest of the furniture.

The header is an eyelet one, which slides straight onto a pole and drops into even, regular folds with no hooks or tape to thread. The supplier lists the fabric as blackout, so it is built to block out light and bring privacy to a room, which makes it a sensible choice for a bedroom or a room that faces the street. Polyester holds its colour and resists creasing, which helps a long drop hang cleanly. Order the width to gather comfortably across your window rather than pulling flat, and pair it with a plain pole to let the velvet do the talking.
