Classic Velvet Custom Curtain

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes:

• For the same fabric and color on both sides (except the header area), choose Same Fabric Liner.
