The Ultimate Velvet Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Royal

These are lined eyelet curtains in a matt velvet with a deep royal blue finish, sold as a pair. The fabric is 100% polyester with a polyurethane backing, and the supplier states they are 100% blackout, so the weave and backing together block daylight rather than simply softening it. The velvet has a soft, even nap that catches the light gently and gives the panels a fluid drape rather than a stiff hang. They come across a wide span of sizes, from 117x137cm up to 229x229cm, measured per pair, so there is a fit for a small bedroom window and for a broad living room span alike.

Royal blue is a strong, saturated tone that reads as a proper anchor colour in a room, and it sits well against warm neutrals, natural wood and terracotta or rust accents, as the setting photographs show. The blackout backing makes these a sensible choice for a bedroom where you want early mornings and streetlight kept out, or a snug where you want to close the room down of an evening. The eyelet header threads straight onto a pole, so hanging is quick and the pleats fall into regular, even folds without extra tape or hooks.

The header is an eyelet top, which needs a curtain pole rather than a track, and the velvet pile gives the panels weight and body once hung. When you measure, remember an eyelet curtain wants some fullness, so choose a width comfortably wider than your window for the folds to gather properly. Read the size across the pair and check the drop against your pole height before you order. As velvet, brushing the pile in one direction keeps the surface looking uniform, and a gentle shake settles the folds after hanging.

Do these curtains block out daylight?

Yes, the supplier states they are 100% blackout, with a polyurethane backing that stops light passing through, so they suit bedrooms and rooms you want to darken.

What kind of pole do I need for eyelet curtains?

Eyelet curtains thread directly onto a curtain pole rather than a track, so you will need a pole that passes through the rings along the top.

How does the velvet feel and look?

It is a soft matt velvet with an even nap, so it drapes fluidly and reads as a rich, low-sheen surface rather than a shiny one.

Is the size the measurement of one curtain or the pair?

The size is stated per pair, covering both panels, so read the width across the two curtains and check the drop against your pole height.

Which width should I choose for my window?

Choose a total width comfortably wider than your window so the eyelet folds gather with enough fullness rather than hanging flat and stretched.

What colour will I receive?

The panels are a deep royal blue throughout, a saturated tone that works as an anchor colour against warm neutrals, wood and rust accents.

What is the fabric made of?

The curtains are 100% polyester with a polyurethane backing, which is a durable, easy-living combination that holds its colour and drape well.
