FAQs

Are these curtains machine washable?

Info needed for specific care instructions. However, velvet curtains often require professional dry cleaning to maintain their luxurious texture and prevent damage. Always check the care label upon purchase.

What type of curtain rod do I need for these eyelet curtains?

You will need a standard curtain rod that is compatible with eyelet curtains. Ensure the rod's diameter is smaller than the eyelet's inner diameter for smooth gliding.

Do these curtains block out all light?

These curtains are fully lined, which provides good light reduction and privacy. However, they are not blackout curtains, so some ambient light may still filter through, especially around the edges.

Are the matching velvet cushions included with the curtains?

No, the matching velvet cushions (45x45cms) are sold separately and are not included with the curtains.

How do I remove creases from the velvet?

Hang the curtains to allow creases to relax naturally. For more stubborn creases, a garment steamer used carefully at a distance, or hanging the curtains in a steamy bathroom, can be effective. Avoid ironing directly on velvet.

What does 'fully lined' mean for these curtains?

'Fully lined' means an additional layer of fabric is sewn to the back of the curtain. This enhances privacy, reduces light entering the room, and improves thermal insulation by adding an extra barrier.

Troubleshooting

Curtains are not hanging evenly or smoothly.

Ensure your curtain rod is perfectly level and securely installed. Re-thread the eyelets onto the rod, ensuring the folds are evenly distributed and that the lead edge of each curtain is facing the same direction.

Velvet fabric appears crushed or creased.

Hang the curtains for several days; gravity often helps release creases. For more stubborn creases, use a garment steamer at a safe distance or hang the curtains in a steamy bathroom. Avoid ironing velvet directly, as this can crush the pile.

Curtains are letting in too much light.

While fully lined, these are not blackout curtains. Ensure the curtain rod extends sufficiently beyond the window frame on both sides to minimize light leakage from the edges. Also, ensure the curtains are wide enough to gather fully when closed.

Fabric looks dull or dusty.

Gently brush the velvet with a soft clothes brush in the direction of the pile. Alternatively, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on the lowest setting to gently remove dust and refresh the fabric's appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup and care will ensure your Helena Springfield Escala Lined Curtains maintain their beauty and functionality for years to come.

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack Carefully: Gently remove the curtains from their packaging. Lay them flat or hang them immediately to help release any initial creases.
  2. Choose Your Rod: These curtains feature matte silver eyelets, requiring a standard curtain rod for installation. Ensure your rod's diameter is compatible with the eyelet size for smooth movement.
  3. Install the Rod: Mount your curtain rod securely above your window frame, ensuring it is level and extends beyond the window's width to allow the curtains to stack back fully when open.
  4. Hang the Curtains: Thread the eyelets onto the curtain rod, alternating the direction of the fabric folds to create a neat, consistent pleat. Ensure the curtain length is appropriate for your window, just brushing the floor or sill as desired.

Compatibility

  • Curtain Rods: Compatible with most standard curtain rods designed for eyelet curtains. Ensure the rod's diameter fits comfortably through the matte silver eyelets.
  • Home Decor: The sophisticated purple shade and velvet texture complement a wide range of interior styles, from contemporary to classic, and are designed to integrate well with Helena Springfield bedlinen ranges.

Care & Maintenance

Velvet requires gentle care to maintain its luxurious appearance:

  • Cleaning: Info needed for specific washing instructions. Generally, velvet curtains may require professional dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's integrity and pile. Spot clean small marks gently with a damp, clean cloth and mild detergent, dabbing rather than rubbing.
  • Dusting: Regularly dust your curtains with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner on a low setting with a brush attachment to prevent dust build-up.
  • Creases: Minor creases often relax with hanging. For stubborn creases, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping a distance from the fabric, or hang in a steamy bathroom for a short period.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade velvet. Consider using sheers or blinds to protect your curtains during peak sun hours if necessary.
