The Ultimate Velvet Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Emerald

These are The Ultimate Velvet eyelet curtains in emerald green, made from a matt velvet face with a room-darkening lining, both 100% polyester. Sold as a pair, they come in a wide spread of drops and widths so you can match the window rather than the other way round: from a 117 x 137cm pair for a small window up to a generous 229 x 229cm pair for tall or wide openings. The velvet has a soft, even pile that catches the light without any sheen, giving that deep, saturated green you can see in the folds.

Emerald velvet earns its place in a living room or bedroom where you want the window to feel dressed rather than merely covered. The weight of the fabric means these hang in full, rounded folds and pool slightly at the floor if you order a longer drop, which is the look most people are after with velvet. They sit happily against warm neutral walls, natural wood and brass fittings, and pair well with a mix of textures in the room. The room-darkening lining also makes them a sensible choice for a bedroom where you want to keep morning light out.

The eyelet header threads straight onto a pole, so hanging is quick and the pleats fall evenly with no hooks or tape to fuss over. Being polyester through and through, the velvet resists creasing and holds its colour well, and polyester is an easy fibre to keep looking fresh between launderings. Choose your pole width first, then pick a pair whose width comfortably covers the window with enough fullness to gather. The emerald sits within a wider Ultimate Velvet range of colours if you want to carry the same finish through other rooms.

Are these curtains sold as a pair?

Yes, each order is a pair of two curtains, so you cover both sides of the window from one purchase. Choose a total width that comfortably spans your pole.

Do these block out light?

They have a room-darkening lining that blocks a good deal of light and adds privacy, which makes them a sensible choice for bedrooms where you want to hold back the morning sun.

What size should I choose for my window?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair. Pick a width wider than your window so the velvet gathers into full folds, and a drop that reaches your sill or floor.

How do these hang on the pole?

The eyelet header threads straight onto a curtain pole, so there are no hooks or tape to deal with and the pleats fall into even, rounded folds on their own.

What is the velvet made from?

Both the face and the lining are 100% polyester. Polyester holds colour well, resists creasing and is an easy fibre to keep looking fresh, so the velvet stays deep and even over time.
