Description
The Harriet Gingham curtains bring a small-scale check to the window, worked in soft rose pink against a warm chocolate brown. Sold as a pair, they carry a ruffle flop top header above the main drop, so the fabric falls in two tiers: a gathered frill at the top and the full length below. The face is 100% cotton with a lining behind it, and the check is a printed tonal gingham rather than a woven one, which keeps the pattern crisp and even across both panels.
Gingham of this scale suits a room that wants warmth without a large motif taking over. The rose-and-chocolate palette sits naturally against greens, creams and natural wood, so these work well in a living room with a dark sofa and rattan side table, or in a bedroom where you want a softer, cosier feel. The ruffle header gives them a relaxed, country look, which reads well in older homes and rooms with painted panelling. Hung on a pole, the frill sits proud of the gathered top and softens the line of the rail.
These are pencil pleat curtains, so the tape at the top gathers into even folds and hangs from hooks on a pole or track. Being cotton on the face, they will crease if scrunched, so hang them straight from the pole and let the folds settle. The pair comes in eight size options, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so measure your window width across the pole and allow for the gather before choosing. Add a pink striped cushion or a green throw to pick up the tonal check and pull the scheme together.

Frequently Asked
Is this one curtain or a pair?
This is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels in the size you select, ready to hang either side of the window.
What is the ruffle flop top header?
It is a gathered frill of fabric that falls over the top of the main drop, sitting above the pencil pleat gather to give a soft, relaxed country look.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your pole width and your desired drop, then pick from the eight sizes ranging from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm. Allow extra width so the pencil pleat can gather.
What is the curtain made from?
The face you see is 100% cotton and the lining behind it is 100% polyester. Cotton gives the check a soft, natural finish at the window.
Will these curtains crease?
Cotton can crease if it is folded or bunched, so hang the pair straight from the pole and let gravity settle the pleats into place over a day or two.
