Harriet Gingham Cotton Pencil Pleat Curtains - Natural

Our Harriet Gingham Cotton Pencil Pleat Curtains bring a soft, checked charm to a window, with a tonal gingham print worked across a natural beige and cream ground. Each panel carries a pencil pleat header, so the tape gathers into neat, even folds when you draw the cords, and a ruffled flop-top valance sits above the main drop to break the line with a relaxed, cottage feel. The face cloth is 100% cotton, kept deliberately lightweight so the fabric falls in easy vertical folds rather than hanging stiffly. Sold as a pair, these are supplied across a range of sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match the width to your track and the length to your sill or floor.

The natural check suits a living room, bedroom or kitchen where you want pattern without a strong colour, and the muted beige tones sit happily against painted walls, wooden furniture and rattan or wicker pieces. Because the check is small and tonal, it reads as texture from across the room and only shows as gingham up close, which makes it easy to pair with plainer cushions and throws. The ruffle header gives the top of the window a little more presence, useful where the pelmet area would otherwise look bare.

The curtains are fully lined, with a face of 100% cotton and a lining blend of 50% polyester and 50% cotton, which adds body and helps the panels hang well. Being cotton on the face, the cloth is breathable and takes a printed pattern crisply. When you order, measure your track or pole width and choose a panel width that gives you gather across the pair, then pick a drop that reaches your preferred finishing point. The lining softens daylight rather than blocking it, so expect a gentle filtered light through the check.

Do these curtains come as a pair?

Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels sized to dress both sides of a single window together.

What is the header type?

They have a pencil pleat header, which gathers into narrow, upright folds and works on a standard curtain track or a pole with rings.

What is the ruffle at the top?

A ruffle flop-top valance is built into the header, giving a soft frilled edge above the main drop for a relaxed, cottage look.

What is the face fabric made of?

The face is 100% cotton, which is breathable and holds the printed gingham check crisply, while the lining is a polyester and cotton blend for body.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your track or pole width and your desired drop, then pick from the sizes offered, remembering the figures cover the pair rather than one panel.
