Description
These Birdie Stripe curtains take a vertical stripe and give it a wavy, scalloped edge, printed in bay green against a paler mist tone so the two shades sit side by side down the length of the fabric. The face is 100% cotton, a lightweight cloth that hangs with a soft, relaxed fall rather than a stiff one, and each panel finishes in a gathered ruffle skirt across the bottom that gives the hem extra body and a little movement. They are supplied as a pair, headed with a pencil pleat tape that draws up to create even, upright folds and hooks onto a standard curtain track or a rod with rings.
The pair suits a bedroom or a living room where you want pattern without a busy floral, and the green and mist palette works against warm neutral walls, natural wood and rattan. The ruffle hem reads as a softer, more informal look, so these sit better in a relaxed, country-leaning room than a sharply tailored one. Because they are fully lined, they add privacy and cut daylight, which makes them a practical choice for a bedroom as well as a decorative one. Measure your track or pole width and your desired drop before choosing a size, as the fabric width should comfortably exceed the track for a proper gathered finish.
The face cloth is pure cotton, which takes a print cleanly and feels breathable, while the lining is a polyester and cotton blend for added structure and light reduction. Cotton is prone to a little relaxation over the first few hangs, so let the folds settle. They come in a range of drops and widths, from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm, so you can match a small window or a wide patio door. Style them simply and let the wavy stripe and ruffle do the talking.
