Why this range
What Vela 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
Chosen for real rooms
Customers most often put this range in bedroom curtains — which is a better guide than any spec sheet.
03
Measured and fitted by us
One team measures, makes and installs. If something isn't right, there's nobody to pass you on to — we come back and sort it.
Style notes
What Vela is like, and where it works
Vela is a patterned curtain fabric with a broken, camo-style mark across a soft neutral ground, shown here as full-length wave header curtains. The colourway sits between stone and taupe, giving it a muted, textural look rather than a bold print. Suited to bedrooms and living spaces where a neutral pattern is wanted with a bit more depth than a plain weave.
An irregular, textural mark-like pattern in taupe-brown on an off-white ground, woven with a jacquard-style texture rather than printed flat, giving it a mottled, camouflage-like appearance.

Made-to-measure wave header curtains for a living room

Made-to-measure wave header curtains for a study
Complements a study with dark shelving and brass or bronze accents, where the neutral pattern adds interest without pulling focus from the room.
The subtle broken pattern brings visual texture while staying easy to live with long-term.
