The Ultimate Velvet Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Natural

The Ultimate Velvet Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains are a pair of blackout curtains made from a matt velvet-faced polyester with a polyurethane backing. Each SKU is a pair, so what you buy hangs on both sides of the window from the outset. They come in a wide spread of sizes: from 117 x 137cm at the smallest up to 229 x 229cm at the largest, measured width by drop per pair. The eyelet header rings thread straight onto a pole, which is the quickest of the header types to hang and gives the even, rolling folds you can see in the photographs.

These suit a living room or bedroom where you want the room to darken properly at night. The 100% blackout construction is the reason to choose them: the polyurethane backing is what stops light passing through the cloth, so they earn their place where a bedroom faces a street lamp or where a television room needs to dim in the daytime. The natural shade shown here is a warm off-white that sits easily against pale walls, wood floors and neutral upholstery, as the room settings show, without pulling the eye to the window.

The velvet face gives a soft matt finish and a fluid drape, so the folds fall heavy and straight rather than stiff. Because the cloth is polyester it holds colour well and resists creasing, which matters on a full-length drop that hangs for years at a time. Choose your size by measuring the width of your pole and the drop you want from ring to floor; the sizes above are per pair, so a 229cm width covers a wide window generously with gather to spare. The eyelets are a plain metal ring, ready to hang with no hooks or tape needed.

Is this listing one curtain or a pair?

Each size is sold as a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to hang either side of your window from a single order.

Do these really block out the light?

Yes, they are described as 100% blackout, with a polyurethane backing behind the velvet face that stops daylight passing through the cloth.

How do I hang eyelet curtains?

The eyelets are metal rings along the top edge that thread directly onto a curtain pole, so no hooks, rings or heading tape are needed.

What size should I choose?

Measure the width of your pole and the drop from ring to floor, then pick from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, remembering each figure is per pair.

What does the velvet finish feel like?

It is a soft matt velvet rather than a shiny one, giving a fluid drape and heavy, straight folds when the curtains hang closed.
