Paoletti Galaxy Chenille Eyelet Curtain - Green

The care instructions typically recommend a gentle machine wash or dry clean to maintain the fabric's quality and appearance. Always refer to the specific care label on your curtains for detailed guidance, as polyester requires specific temperature and cycle settings.

You will need a curtain rod with a diameter that is smaller than the eyelet rings for smooth operation. Measure your window width and add 15-30cm (6-12 inches) to each side for the rod length to ensure adequate coverage and aesthetic appeal, allowing the curtains to extend beyond the window frame.

These curtains are 'fully lined with room darkening qualities,' meaning they significantly reduce light entry and are very effective for creating a dimmer environment. While highly effective, they may not achieve 100% blackout, especially if light seeps around the edges of the window or above the rod.

When threading the eyelets onto the rod, alternate the direction of the fabric folds (e.g., the first eyelet with the curtain fabric facing forward, the second with the fabric facing backward, and so on). This technique naturally creates the desired uniform wave or pleat effect.

Yes, these curtains are designed to pair with the Paoletti Galaxy cushion range. Coordinating them will help create a unified, luxurious, and demure look throughout your room.

Yarn-dyed chenille means the individual threads are dyed before weaving, resulting in a deeper, richer color that is less prone to fading. The chenille weave provides a soft, plush texture, and the integrated golden highlights create a sophisticated, shimmering effect that is part of the fabric itself, not merely printed on.

The listed size of the curtain is 117 x 183cm. This measurement typically refers to the width and drop of a single curtain panel.

Allow the curtains to hang for a few days; gravity often helps smooth out minor creases. For stubborn wrinkles, a low-heat iron or a fabric steamer can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first and following care label instructions.

Ensure the curtain rod is level and securely installed. Check that the eyelet rings are threaded correctly, allowing an even distribution of fabric. You may need to gently adjust the folds between the eyelets to achieve a uniform drape and ensure smooth gliding.

Verify that your curtain rod extends sufficiently beyond the window frame (15-30cm on each side) to minimize side gaps. If maximum light blockage is critical, consider pairing the curtains with a blackout blind or shade installed behind them.
