Verso Plain Reversible Eyelet Curtains - Charcoal

The Verso curtains give you two looks in one hang. One face is a charcoal suede-effect fabric with a soft, close pile; turn the panel and the reverse is a plainer, dry-handle weave in a natural putty tone. Both sides are the working front, so you choose which reads into the room. They are made from polyester throughout the face and reverse, over a polyurethane lining, and the header is an eyelet top that threads straight onto a standard pole. Every size is sold as a pair, and the range runs from 117 x 137cm through to 229 x 229cm, so there is a drop and a width to suit most standard windows.

These suit a living room or bedroom where you want the light properly shut out, whether that is a west-facing lounge that catches the afternoon glare or a bedroom you would rather keep dark for a longer sleep. Because the panels are reversible, the same pair can face charcoal against a pale wall or turn to the neutral putty side beside a darker scheme, which makes them a sensible choice if you redecorate a room from time to time. They read well against wood floors, boucle and rattan, as shown, and the plain finish means they will not fight a patterned rug or cushion.

The eyelet header pleats evenly and glides on the pole, so drawing them is quick and the folds fall neatly when open. The lining is what gives the panels their weight and their blackout performance, so they hang with a full, straight drape rather than a thin one. When you buy, measure your pole width and your desired drop against the pair sizes rather than the window opening, since curtains want to sit wider and longer than the glass. Check the care label before laundering.

Are both sides meant to be used as the front?

Yes. The panels are reversible, with a charcoal suede-effect face on one side and a plainer natural-toned weave on the other, so you can hang whichever suits your room.

Do these actually block out light?

They are blackout lined with a polyurethane backing, which is what blocks the light and gives the panels their weight, so they suit bedrooms and rooms that catch strong sun.

How do they hang on the pole?

They have an eyelet header, which slides straight onto a standard curtain pole with no hooks or track needed, and the eyelets space the folds evenly when drawn.

What size should I choose?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm and each is sold as a pair. Measure your pole width and drop rather than the glass, as curtains sit wider and longer than the window.

Is this one curtain or two?

Every size is supplied as a pair of curtains, so a single order gives you two matching panels to dress both sides of the window.
