Verso Plain Reversible Eyelet Curtains - Green

The Verso is a reversible eyelet curtain sold as a pair, with two quite different faces to choose between. One side is a soft green suede-effect cloth with a gentle nap that catches the light; the other is a natural beige with a flatter, woven look and a dry handle. You hang whichever suits the room, and if your scheme changes you simply turn the pair around. Both curtains are 100% polyester through the face and reverse, with a polyurethane lining that gives the fabric its blackout property. The range runs across several drops and widths, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match a standard window or a taller full-length one.

These work well in a bedroom where morning light is a problem, because the blackout lining blocks daylight rather than just filtering it, which helps with sleep and gives you real privacy after dark. The two faces make them adaptable in a living room too: the green sits happily against warm wood, jute and natural upholstery, as the photographs show, while the beige reverse suits a quieter, more neutral wall. Because the eyelet header slides straight onto a pole, they are quick to put up and take down for cleaning.

The header is an eyelet top, which gives those even, rounded folds when the curtains are drawn back and means no hooks or tape to fit. Being polyester, the fabric is hard-wearing and holds its shape, and the suede face keeps its depth of colour. When you check the size, read it as width by drop and remember each figure covers the pair, so a 229cm width is the total across both curtains. Choose a width around one and a half to two times your pole for a full, generous hang.

Do these curtains actually block out light?

Yes, the polyurethane lining gives them a full blackout property, so they block daylight rather than simply softening it, which suits bedrooms and nurseries.

Which side shows, the green or the beige?

Either. They are fully reversible, with a green suede-effect face on one side and a natural beige woven reverse on the other, so you hang whichever suits your room.

How do I work out the size I need?

Each size is given as width by drop for the pair, so the width figure is the total across both curtains. Allow one and a half to two times your pole width for fullness.

Will these fit any curtain pole?

They have an eyelet header that slides directly onto a pole, so there are no hooks or tape to fit. Check your pole diameter suits the eyelet rings before ordering.

What is the fabric made of?

The face and reverse are 100% polyester and the lining is 100% polyurethane. Polyester is hard-wearing, holds its shape well and keeps colour depth over time.
