Birdie Stripe Cotton Pencil Pleat Curtains - Butter Yellow

These Birdie Stripe curtains are sold as a pair and carry a wavy contrast stripe in soft butter yellow set against white, finished with a gathered ruffle skirt along the hem. The face cloth is 100% cotton, a lightweight fibre that hangs with a natural, relaxed fold rather than a stiff formal line, so the fabric moves softly and settles into gentle folds when drawn. The pencil pleat header lets you gather the fabric to your chosen width and works with standard curtain hooks on either a track or a pole. Each pair comes fully lined, and the lining is a 52% polyester, 48% cotton blend that adds body and helps cut daylight.

The pair suits a bedroom or a living room where you want a bit of character at the window without a heavy, dark treatment. The wavy stripe reads as playful rather than formal, so it sits happily in a relaxed, country-leaning scheme alongside painted furniture, natural wood and woven textures. The butter yellow warms up a cool grey or a chalky white wall, and the ruffle skirt gives the hem a soft, decorative finish that draws the eye down to the floor. It works best on windows where the curtain can hang full length, so the gathered frill has room to fall.

The full lining gives added privacy and reduces incoming light, which matters most in a bedroom. Because both the face cotton and the cotton-rich lining respond to heat and moisture, follow the care guidance on the sewn-in label, and hang the curtains promptly after washing so the folds and the ruffle settle naturally. Available across a range of drop and width combinations, these curtains take their cue from the much-loved Birdie bedding, so you can carry the same wavy stripe from the bed to the window.
