Milano is a luxurious extra-length, ready-made eyelet curtain that is fully lined and offers a versatile linen look – perfect for creating a chic window treatment in bedrooms and living areas. These curtains are designed to deliver custom-made quality and elegance along with the convenience of ready-made curtains.
They are created from Hertex’s Milano fabric, a favourite among professional decorators for its sophisticated linen look and the washability of its poly blend. These curtains feature full dim-out lining, are finished with chic black rust-proof nickel eyelets, and include distinguishing details like a loose lining attached with a hand-stitched separator, as preferred by high-end interior designers. The eyelet or ring top design enables instant installation: simply thread the eyelets over any standard curtain rod up to 35mm in diameter.
Size: Luxury extra length – 265cm W x 260cm L
Fullness ratio:
- Standard Fullness (2:1 ratio): For a standard fullness, the curtain width should be about twice the width of the window. In this case, 265 cm width would effectively cover a window up to approximately 132.5 cm wide.
- Generous Fullness (2.5:1 ratio): For a more luxurious, fuller look, the curtain width should be about 2.5 times the width of the window. This would mean a 265 cm width can cover a window up to around 106 cm wide.
- Minimal Fullness (1.5:1 ratio): For a less full look, the curtain width should be about 1.5 times the width of the window. This allows a 265 cm width to cover a window up to approximately 176 cm wide.
Composition: Hertex Milano fabric – 65% polyester, 25% viscose, 10% linen (front fabric); 100% polyester (dim-out lining) – with 16 x 40mm black rust-proof nickel eyelets
Weight per drop: 4,2kg
Installation: Thread over a standard curtain rod up to 35mm in diameter. A minimum rod diameter of 28mm is recommended.
Care instructions: Machine-wash cold separately. Cool iron. Do not tumble-dry. Do not bleach. Professional dry-clean recommended.
Designer tip: By hanging curtains from the highest point of the wall, allowing them to fall all the way down to the floor, you create a subtle guide for the eye to follow, encouraging you to take in the entirety of a space, thereby creating the illusion of a larger room and higher ceilings. Usually, this can only be achieved with custom-made curtains, but with luxury extra-length (260cm) drops – which are available as ready-made curtains from HAUS by Hertex – this effect can be created in most homes.
