About Velvet Curtains & Drapes
Velvet curtains remain one of the most refined choices for window treatments, offering a combination of visual richness and practical performance that few other fabrics can match. The dense pile absorbs light rather than reflecting it, creating depth of colour that shifts subtly throughout the day.
Our collection spans cotton velvet, silk-blend velvet and linen-backed varieties, each with distinct characteristics. Cotton velvet offers durability and a matte finish suitable for high-traffic spaces. Silk blends provide luminosity and a lighter drape, while linen-backed options add structure and improved insulation.
Specification and Placement
For proper proportion, curtains should measure 1.5 to 2.5 times the width of the window, depending on desired fullness. We recommend hanging the rod 4-6 inches above the window frame and extending 6-8 inches beyond each side to maximise light when drapes are open. Velvet performs particularly well in rooms where textiles layer with rugs and upholstered furniture to create acoustic warmth.
The weight of velvet makes it naturally insulating, helpful for rooms with large windows or period architecture. Pair with console tables positioned beneath windows, or flank with objects on nearby side tables to create balanced vignettes. In spaces pursuing quiet luxury, velvet curtains provide substance without ostentation—a considered backdrop rather than a statement.
