{"product_id":"the-ultimate-velvet-plain-lined-eyelet-curtains-olive","title":"The Ultimate Velvet Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Olive","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ultimate Velvet curtains are made from a plain matt velvet with a fluid, weighty drape, and they are sold as a pair. The face is 100% polyester velvet backed with a polyurethane blackout coating, so the fabric does two jobs at once: the velvet gives you the soft, light-catching pile you can see shifting across the folds, and the coating behind it blocks the daylight coming through. The heading is an eyelet, which means the rings slide straight onto a pole and the fabric falls into even, rounded pleats on its own. Here the colourway is Olive, a warm yellow-toned green that reads deeper in the folds and lighter where the pile catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese suit a living room or a bedroom where you want to control the light rather than simply soften it. In a bedroom the blackout backing earns its place in summer and on light early mornings; in a sitting room it cuts glare on a screen and keeps the room private after dark. The olive tone sits happily against warm neutrals, terracotta and rust, and picks up the mustard and amber notes you might already have in an armchair or a cushion. Because the pile has a nap, the colour changes gently with the angle you view it from, which is part of why velvet feels warmer than a flat weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEyelet curtains hang best on a pole a little wider than the window so the fabric can stack back off the glass, and this pair comes in nine sizes so you can match drop and width to your window. Velvet holds a crease if it is packed tightly, so hang it and let the folds settle. The pile is directional, so brush it one way when you dress the folds and the sheen stays even across both panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% polyester velvet with polyurethane blackout backing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlain matt velvet, olive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEyelet header, lined, 100% blackout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e117x137cm to 229x229cm (per pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePair of curtains\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo these curtains actually block out the light?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
