The Ultimate Velvet Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Royal

The Ultimate Velvet curtains come as a pair, made from a matt velvet face with a room-darkening lining, both 100% polyester. The eyelet header threads straight onto a pole, so there are no hooks to fit and no tape to gather. In this royal blue, the velvet reads deep and even, with a soft matt surface rather than a high sheen, and it falls into rounded, fluid folds that hold their shape down the drop. This pair is offered in a spread of widths and drops, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match the size of the pair to your window and the length you want the fabric to sit at.

Room-darkening lining makes these a natural choice for a bedroom where you want to cut early light, and they work equally well in a living room where a heavier fabric holds warmth and dampens draught around the glass. The deep blue sits comfortably against warm neutral walls and wood tones, and it partners with rust and terracotta upholstery for contrast or with cooler greys for a quieter scheme. Because the velvet has weight and a good drape, the folds stay soft and full even when the curtains are drawn back.

The eyelet ring header gives an even, concertina fold across the top and slides quickly along the pole, which makes daily opening and closing easy. Measure the width per pair against your pole rather than the window itself, and check the drop from the ring to where you want the hem to finish. Polyester velvet holds its colour well and resists creasing, so the pair settles into shape after hanging. Please follow the care label on your curtains, and take the same care with the lining as with the face fabric.

Is this a single curtain or a pair?

Every size listed is a pair, so you receive two curtains to a set. Measure the total width you want to cover across your pole and divide by two if you are checking each panel.

How dark do these make a room?

The lining is room-darkening, which cuts a good deal of daylight and improves privacy, so they suit bedrooms and lounges. They are described as room-darkening rather than full blackout.

How should I choose the right size?

Widths run from 117cm up to 229cm and drops from 137cm to 229cm per pair. Measure your pole for the width and from the ring down to your preferred hem for the drop.

What does the eyelet header need to hang?

The eyelet rings thread directly onto a curtain pole, so you need a pole rather than a track. The rings slide easily, which makes opening and closing quick day to day.

What is the fabric like to the touch?

Both the face and lining are polyester, with a soft matt velvet surface rather than a glossy one. The fabric has enough weight to fall in full, rounded folds.

None.
