The Ultimate Velvet Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Emerald

These are matt velvet eyelet curtains in a deep emerald green, sold as a pair and available in a spread of widths and drops from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm. The face is a soft, short-pile velvet that catches the light along each fold, and the fabric is a full blackout construction, so what you are choosing here is a curtain that does two jobs at once: a rich, tactile finish on the room side and genuine light control behind it. The header is an eyelet top, which means the rings thread straight onto a pole and the curtain hangs in even, rounded pleats from the moment you put it up.

Emerald velvet suits a room you want to feel warm and settled rather than bright and airy. It sits well against pale walls, natural wood and brass or gold accents, and it holds its own beside softer greens and blush pinks, as the styling shots show. Because the fabric blocks daylight, these earn their place in a bedroom where you want a dark room for sleeping, or in a living room or snug where you are drawing them for the evening. The blackout backing also adds a little weight, which is why the drape falls in those clean vertical folds rather than fluttering.

The curtains are lined and made from polyester with a polyurethane backing, the layer that delivers the blackout. When you order, match the width to your pole rather than your window: each curtain in the pair should gather comfortably, so allow for fullness across the track. Check the drop against the distance from pole to sill or floor before you choose. The velvet reads as a plain, so it works whether your scheme is pared back or layered with pattern elsewhere.

Do these curtains actually block out the light?

Yes, they are a full blackout construction with a polyurethane backing, so they are made to block daylight and keep a room dark and private.

What does the eyelet header need to hang?

The eyelet top threads directly onto a curtain pole rather than a track, giving even rounded pleats and a quick, neat installation without hooks or tape.

Is this really a pair, or a single curtain?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you get two panels covering the width stated. Match that combined width to your pole for a full gather.

How do I choose the right size?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm. Measure your pole width and the drop from pole to sill or floor, then pick the nearest fit allowing for fullness.

What is the velvet like to the touch?

It is a soft, short-pile velvet with a matt rather than shiny finish, so it adds warmth and texture without looking glossy, and it catches light gently along the folds.
