The Ultimate Velvet Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Silver

These are eyelet curtains cut from a soft matt velvet, sold as a pair and offered across a wide spread of drop-and-width combinations. The face is woven polyester with a matching polyester lining, and the header runs on metal eyelet rings that thread straight onto a pole. What sets a velvet curtain apart is the pile: it catches light differently as it folds, so a plain silver-grey reads with quiet depth rather than as a flat block of colour. The lining is a room-darkening layer, which means it cuts the daylight coming through and adds privacy after dark.

They suit a living room or a bedroom where you want the window dressed in something with weight and a fluid drape. The neutral silver-grey sits easily against painted walls in most schemes and pairs comfortably with pale upholstery, warm wood and soft furnishings in cream or stone. Because the range runs from a narrower panel through to a generous full-length drop, you can match the pair to a small bedroom window or a tall living-room reveal. Measure your pole width and the drop from the ring to where you want the hem to fall before you choose a size, as an eyelet curtain hangs from the top of the eyelet rather than the top of the fabric.

The eyelet header gives a smooth, even wave of folds and makes hanging quick, since there is no tape to gather or hooks to thread. Polyester holds its shape well and resists creasing, so the folds stay neat between washes. To keep the pile looking its best, hang the pair with the folds trained in the same direction and give them an occasional shake. The velvet finish is offered in a plain, unpatterned face, so it works as a backdrop that lets the rest of the room take the lead.

Is this price for one curtain or a pair?

This is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels that draw to meet in the middle of your window.

Does the lining actually block light?

The lining is described as room-darkening, so it cuts the daylight coming through and adds privacy, though it is not stated to be full blackout.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your pole width and the drop you want from the eyelet ring to the hem, then pick the closest pair from the range spanning 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm.

What does the velvet feel like?

It is a soft matt velvet with a short pile, giving the fabric a gentle sheen and a fluid drape as it folds against the window.

Are these easy to hang?

Yes, the eyelet rings thread straight onto a curtain pole with no tape to gather or hooks to fit, so hanging takes only a moment.
