Grace Leaf Jacquard Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Taupe

These Grace Leaf curtains carry a trailing leaf design worked into a matt satin jacquard, so the pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed on top of it. That is why the leaves catch the light differently from the ground around them, giving a soft two-tone shift as you move past the window. The colourway is taupe, a warm greige that reads as pale beige in daylight and settles into something deeper once the room dims. They are sold as a pair and come in eight width-and-drop combinations, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a size for a small bedroom window and a size for a wide living-room bay.

They suit a room where you want the window softened rather than dressed up loudly. The neutral leaf pattern sits happily against painted panelling, natural wood and other quiet naturals, and it works as well in a bedroom as it does in a sitting room. They are made with a pencil pleat heading, which gathers onto a standard curtain tape and hangs from hooks on either a track or a pole, so they fit the fittings most homes already have. The fabric is fully lined, and the lining is a room-darkening one that blocks daylight and adds privacy, which makes these a sensible choice for a bedroom you want to keep dark in the mornings.

The face and lining are both 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds its shape on a long drop and resists creasing, so the folds hang cleanly all the way to the floor. Polyester is also easy to keep, taking colour well and shrugging off the fading and stretching that catch out some natural fibres at a sunny window. Measure your track or pole width and your desired drop before choosing, since curtains want to be wider than the window to gather properly. The Grace Leaf design is offered across the range in this taupe colourway.

Do these curtains block out light?

They are fully lined with a room-darkening lining that blocks daylight and adds privacy, which helps keep a bedroom dark in the morning.

How does the leaf pattern work in the fabric?

The leaf design is woven in as a jacquard rather than printed, so it shows as a subtle two-tone pattern that shifts gently with the light.

What heading do they have and what will they hang from?

They have a pencil pleat heading, which gathers onto standard curtain tape and hangs from hooks on either a track or a curtain pole.

Am I buying one curtain or a pair?

Each size is sold as a pair of curtains, so you receive both panels to dress a single window in one purchase.

What size should I choose?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm as width by drop. Measure your track or pole and allow extra width so the fabric gathers well.

What is the fabric made of?
