Soft Chenille Plain Lined Eyelet Curtains - Rust

Description

Description
These are eyelet curtains cut from a soft matt chenille, sold as a pair and lined throughout. Chenille is a woven pile fabric, and the short, dense fibres are what give the cloth its warm, slightly velvety feel and its quiet, non-shiny surface. The face and the lining are both polyester, which is a hard-wearing fibre that holds colour well, so the drape stays neat between the eyelets rather than sagging into hard folds.

Eyelet curtains slide straight onto a pole through the metal rings along the top, so they are quick to hang and give an even, gently gathered head without hooks or tape to fuss over. That makes them a sensible choice for a living room or bedroom where you want the window dressed without a lengthy fitting job. The rust colouring sits comfortably against warm neutrals, natural wood and greens, and the weight of a lined pair means they sit close to the window and fall in soft, full columns to the floor.

The fabric is described as blackout, so the pair is built to block light and help keep a room dark and settled, which suits a bedroom or a snug used for watching television. Because both layers are polyester, a warm wash and a cool iron are usually all that is needed, and the fibre dries quickly. This size is one of a range of drops and widths, so measure your pole width and the finished length you want before choosing, and remember an eyelet pair should be wider than the window to gather properly.

Frequently Asked
Do I get one curtain or two?

Each order is a pair, so you receive two curtains, one for each side of the window, ready to hang together on a single pole.

Will these curtains block the light?

The fabric is described as blackout, so the lined pair is made to block light and keep a room dark, which is helpful in a bedroom or a room used in the daytime.

What size pole do I need for eyelet curtains?

Eyelet curtains slide onto a round pole through the rings along the top, so measure your pole width and choose a width wider than the window so the fabric gathers.

What is chenille and how does it feel?

Chenille is a woven pile fabric with short dense fibres, which gives it a soft, matt, slightly velvety surface rather than a shiny or flat one.

How do I choose the right drop?

This range comes in several drops and widths, so measure from the pole to where you want the hem to fall and pick the length closest to that finished drop.
