Description
These are the Harriet Gingham curtains, a printed cotton pair that lead with a gingham check in soft buttermilk and warm chocolate brown. The face cloth is 100% cotton, so it hangs with a natural weight and a slightly matt, homespun look rather than the sheen of a synthetic. The tops carry a pencil pleat header, which gathers the fabric into even, upright folds when you pull the cords, and above that sits a ruffle flop-top frill that softens the line where the curtain meets the pole. They are sold as a pair and are fully lined behind the printed face.
The check reads as a country or farmhouse look, which is why these suit a living room, a bedroom or a kitchen where you want a relaxed, lived-in feel rather than a formal one. The buttermilk-and-chocolate palette is easy to build a room around, sitting happily against painted walls, natural timber and other neutrals. The frilled header gives them a decorative, cottage air, so they work best in rooms where you want the window to add character rather than disappear. They pair naturally with plain upholstery and warm wood furniture.
Behind the printed cotton face is a lining, which adds body and helps the curtains hang and drape well. Because the face is pure cotton, cotton takes a warm iron and washes readily, and it will crease more than a synthetic, so a press before hanging pays off. The pencil pleat header works on a pole with rings or a track, and the ruffle top means you will see the frill above the fixing whichever you choose. This colourway comes in a range of drop and width combinations, so you can match the pair to your window.

Frequently Asked
What is the fabric made of?
The printed face is 100% cotton, giving a soft, matt, natural finish, while the lining behind it is a 50% polyester and 50% cotton blend for added body.
How do the curtains hang on a pole or track?
They have a pencil pleat header, which draws up into neat upright folds and works with curtain rings on a pole or with a standard curtain track.
What is the ruffle flop top?
It is a decorative frill that sits above the header, so a soft ruffle of fabric flops forward over the pole for a relaxed, cottage-style finish.
How many curtains come in a pack?
Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to dress a single window across the range of available sizes.
Will pure cotton crease?
Cotton creases more readily than synthetic fabrics, so a warm iron or a press before hanging will help the panels drape smoothly from the header.
What sizes are available?
This colourway comes in several width and drop combinations, from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm per pair, so you can suit different windows.
