Description
These are eyelet curtains in a matte chocolate-brown velvet, sold as a pair and lined for blackout. The fabric is a soft velvet pile with a low-sheen finish, so the colour reads as a deep, warm brown that shifts gently as the light moves across the drape rather than reflecting it back at you. The eyelet header rings sit over a pole and pull the fabric into even, rounded folds, which is what gives velvet its weight and its fluid hang. This size covers a wide window; the range runs across a spread of widths and drops, so there is a fit for a narrow window and one for a set of patio doors.
Velvet curtains earn their place in a living room or a bedroom where you want warmth and a bit of quiet. The blackout lining makes them a genuine option for a bedroom that faces a street light or an early sun, and the same lining muffles a little sound, which suits a room that doubles as a snug. Chocolate is an easy anchor colour: it sits well against sage and olive greens, warm neutrals and the tan and rust tones you often find in a mid-century room. Here they are shown with a green sofa and a walnut shelving unit, which gives you a sense of the register.
The eyelet header threads straight onto a pole with no hooks or tape to fuss over, so they go up quickly and hang neatly from the first pull. Being polyester velvet, they are hard-wearing and hold their pile well. We are not given a care instruction for this pair, so follow the label sewn into the heading before you wash or press them. If you are dressing a whole room, a matte velvet like this pairs happily with a patterned cushion to lift it.

Frequently Asked
Do these curtains actually block out the light?
Yes, the pair is lined with a 100% blackout backing, so they cut daylight and street light for a dark, private room.
Are they sold as a pair or a single panel?
This is a pair of curtains, two panels, so you dress both sides of the window from one purchase.
What size should I buy for my window?
The range runs from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm; measure your pole width and your drop, then pick the size that clears both comfortably.
How do I hang eyelet curtains?
The eyelet rings thread straight onto a curtain pole, with no hooks or heading tape needed, so they go up in minutes.
What is the fabric like to the touch?
It is a soft velvet pile with a matte, low-sheen finish, which gives the curtains weight and a smooth, even drape.
