Why this range
What Elara does well
01
Built as blackout curtains
Cut and finished as blackout curtains for your exact window, rather than trimmed down from a stock size. The mechanism is sized to the drop, so it hangs straight and stays that way.
02
9 colourways to compare
Colour behaves differently in north light, in the evening and against your walls. Pick the ones you like here and your advisor brings those exact swatches to the visit.
03
Chosen for real rooms
Customers most often put this range in bathroom blinds, bay window curtains, bedroom blinds — which is a better guide than any spec sheet.
Style notes
What Elara is like, and where it works
Elara is a velvet curtain range with a soft, deep-pile finish that reads as plain and richly coloured rather than patterned. The colour swatches shown here run from a burnt amber to a warm gold, giving a sense of the range's depth of colour, and the catalogue image shows how the fabric falls in generous folds. Suited to living rooms and bedrooms where a heavier, more tailored curtain is wanted.
A rich velvet in deep saturated colours, shown here as a warm burnt-orange and a golden mustard swatch, with the hero photo showing a mustard-gold curtain in eyelet heading against a dark navy wall. The finish has the soft, light-catching nap typical of velvet.

Made-to-measure curtains for a jewel-toned bedroom
A bedroom with muted walls and layered textiles, where a strong velvet colour becomes the focal point.

Made-to-measure curtains for a bay window living room

- Colours run from warm golds and ambers through to deeper jewel tones such as emerald and midnight.
