The Wave curtains, made of blackout velvet, are simply divine! The material is of excellent quality, drapes beautifully, and they look amazing on the window. I'm thrilled with the result—I definitely recommend them!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful this purchase experience has been.
Liane who is a Customer Care Specialist helped me with measurements, explained why the double layer curtains were a better choice and even caught my error as I checked the wrong box for euro pleats.
I am very pleased with the look in my little speakeasy.
I would HIGHLY recommend this company.
I've been looking for the perfect curtains for my new home, and these stone blue velvet curtains are a perfect match! The triple french pinch pleat is very elegant and beautifully crafted! The matching Tehreem window screen ensures privacy while allowing plenty of light to pass through. I love it!
It is so hard to find extra-tall curtains that don't cost a fortune. These were affordable for the quality and look like they were made for a luxury hotel.
Easier than you'd think. While they look fancy, you don't need to treat them like museum pieces. Regular dusting with a vacuum brush attachment does the trick for day-to-day maintenance. For a deep clean, these curtains are machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the velvet pile looking plush and new.
Can I see the fabric before I commit?
Absolutely, and we actually recommend it. Screens can be tricky with colors. Order our free fabric swatches so you can see exactly how the light hits the velvet in your specific room before you buy. Please note that to achieve a 100% blackout effect, you must select the 100% blackout lining option during the customization process.
Do I need special rods for these?
Not at all; standard rods work perfectly. While the unique textured fabric offers a substantial, quality feel that drapes beautifully, it is designed with a versatile medium weight that doesn't require heavy-duty hardware. You can choose from various headers (such as Grommets or Pinch Pleats) to seamlessly match your existing rod style.
Is the price for one panel or a pair (two panels)?
The price shown is for one velvet curtain panel. For a typical window with a balanced look, you may want to order two panels (quantity 2).
When entering Panel Width, should I input total coverage width or one panel width?
On the product page, the Panel Width you select/enter is the finished size per panel.
Per-panel width = (rod width × fullness) ÷ number of panels
Use the Size Guide on the product page to calculate step-by-step.
If you’d like help, email support@thehues.com with your product link and measurements.
My rod/window width is X—how many panels do I need and what width should each panel be?
The Panel Width/Length you enter on the product page is the finished size per panel.
Per-panel width = (rod width × fullness) ÷ number of panels
Example: 100" rod width × 1.5 fullness ÷ 2 panels = 75" per panel.
Click the Size Guide on the product page for a step-by-step calculator, or contact support for help.
Curtains need fullness—how much extra width should I add?
Different Header Styles correspond to different recommended fullness ratios.
Select your header first to see the recommended fullness in the Size Guide/selection area.
Our system will use this to calculate or suggest the best size for you.
Or, feel free to consult customer service for help.
My required width/length isn’t listed (extra wide/long). Can you customize?
Yes. These custom velvet curtains support per-panel width/length starting at 20" and going up to 200". If you can’t select your size, email support@thehues.com and we’ll help you plan the right split/join solution.
What is a Header Style, and which one should I choose?
A header style is the top construction of the curtain—how it’s made and how it attaches to your rod or track.
Rod vs. track: match the header to your hardware.
Look: flat vs. pleated vs. wave, etc.
Use: frequent opening/closing often benefits from smoother track-friendly headers.
If you’re unsure, start with the Header Style Guide and match it to your setup.
Should I use a track or a rod (especially for tall/heavy drapes)?
There isn’t a "one-size-fits-all" answer—it depends on weight, span, mounting location, and usage frequency. You can find specific load capacity information for reference on TheHues' Track and Rod product pages. For these heavy velvet drapes or extra-tall windows, we recommend prioritizing tracks with a load rating that matches your needs.
Do the curtains include S hooks/pinch pleat hooks, or do I need to purchase them separately?
It depends on the header you choose:
Grommet / Back Tab / Rod Pocket: no hooks needed—slides directly onto a rod.
Pleated / Pleat Hook styles: we include the appropriate hooks based on your selection.
Roman Rings / Clip Rings: rings/clips are typically purchased separately to match your rod diameter.
To confirm hardware for a specific SKU, email support@thehues.com with the product link or your order number.
Will my rod diameter fit your grommets/loops?
Rod Pocket works best with rods ≤ 1.25" diameter. For Grommet, the internal diameter is about 1.56" and it pairs best with a 1.5" rod. Always confirm against the header option you select.
Is it 100% blackout? How effective is the thermal insulation?
Full blackout depends on the product and the lining you choose:
100% Blackout products can achieve full blackout when installed properly with minimal gaps.
For these velvet curtains (excluding sheer/light-filtering styles), selecting a 100% Blackout Liner can dramatically increase light blocking.
Thermal insulation also depends on fabric thickness and lining—thermal/blackout fabrics or added liners typically provide better insulation.
Are your curtains flame retardant? Do they meet any standards?
Some products are available in flame-retardant fabric (e.g., the Frisian collection).
If you need documentation/standards for a project, email support@thehues.com with the product link and your requirements before ordering.
What’s the difference between Same Fabric Liner and Comparable Color Liner?
Same Fabric Liner: the lining is made from the same fabric as the front, for a more consistent look from both sides (except the header area).
Comparable Color Liner: the lining uses a polyester fabric in a close-matching color for coordinated appearance and value.
Can you make pinch pleats (e.g., double/triple pleats)?
Yes. The guides list multiple pleated options such as Double/Triple French Pinch Pleat, Euro Pleat, Goblet, and Inverted Box Pleat. Availability depends on the header styles offered on your product page. See Measurement Guide and Header Styles.
Can you make blackout/soundproof curtains with the same color on both sides?
Yes:
For the same fabric and color on both sides (except the header area), choose Same Fabric Liner.
For a close-matching polyester lining, choose Comparable Color Liner. An exact match across different fabrics may not always be possible—contact support to confirm before ordering.
Can I order swatches? How do I order them?
Yes. Order directly from Curtain Swatches: select your fabrics/colors and add them to cart.
Limits and shipping/fees follow the latest information shown on the swatch page.
Are tiebacks included or sold separately?
It varies by product—please follow the options shown on your curtain’s product page. This velvet curtain listing lets you select tiebacks (for example Free Tiebacks / Matching Tiebacks), which will show in your order/price. If you want tiebacks separately, you can purchase them from Accessories.
Using Your Own Motorized Track or Overlapping Tracks?
Please contact us before ordering to confirm measurements and compatibility.
When installing your rod, we recommend extending each side by
4"-12"
beyond the window frame, based on wall space and light-blocking needs.
