Heath Washed Velvet Eyelet Linen Pencil Pleat Curtains - Linen

Our Heath curtains are made from an enzyme-washed velvet, a treatment that softens the pile and gives the cloth its gently crumpled, lived-in handle. The face carries a jacquard weave, so the texture is built into the fabric rather than printed on, reading as a fine vertical ripple across the drop. They come as a pair, fully lined, with a pencil pleat header that gathers the top into soft, even folds. Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a width and drop to suit most standard windows as well as taller or wider openings.

This is a quiet, warm-neutral curtain that sits well in a calm living room or bedroom. The washed velvet has a relaxed, fluid drape, the sort that pools softly at the floor rather than standing stiff, which makes it a good match for unfussy, considered rooms. The tonal beige works alongside natural woods, off-white upholstery and other soft neutrals without competing with them, so you can layer in colour elsewhere and let the curtains hold the background. The lining adds body to the fall and helps the pleats keep their shape.

The pencil pleat header works on both a track and a pole with curtain hooks, and lets you set how full you want the gather. Being 100% polyester, the fabric is hardwearing and holds its shape well, and the pile keeps that soft washed look over time. Check your measurements against the pair size before ordering: the first figure is the width across the pair and the second is the drop, so match the drop to the distance from your pole or track to where you want the curtains to finish.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

Each size is sold as a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels. The first figure in the size is the total width across the pair and the second is the drop.

What does the pencil pleat header work with?

A pencil pleat header suits both a curtain track and a curtain pole used with hooks, and it lets you adjust how full the gathered top sits at the window.

What is enzyme-washed velvet like to live with?

The enzyme wash softens the pile and gives a gently crumpled, relaxed handle, so the fabric drapes in soft folds and has a warm, tactile feel rather than a stiff finish.

Are these curtains lined?

Yes, they are fully lined. The lining gives the panels extra body, helps the pencil pleats hold their shape and adds weight so the fabric hangs and falls well.

How do I choose the right drop?

Measure from the top of your pole or track down to where you want the curtains to finish, whether at the sill or the floor, and match that to the second size figure.

What colour are these curtains?

They are a soft warm beige throughout, a tonal neutral that sits well with natural wood, off-white upholstery and other quiet, understated colours in the room.
