Heavy Chenille Fully Lined Velvet Pencil Pleat Curtains - Lichen

These pencil pleat curtains are made from a heavyweight chenille with a soft, plush velvet hand, sold as a pair and fully lined. The face cloth has the deep, slightly washed appearance you can see in the close-up: a dark, mossy lichen green that catches the light unevenly across each fold, so the fabric shifts from near-black in the shadows to a lit olive on the raised pile. It is a plain cloth, no pattern, letting the weight and the drape do the work. The range runs across eight made-up sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, each measurement given per pair.

Curtains this heavy suit a living room or a bedroom where you want a room to feel calm and enclosed. The weight is the point: a dense chenille hangs in full, rounded folds rather than thin flat panels, and it settles quietly against the floor as the photographs show. The lichen green sits comfortably against warm neutral walls, natural wood and cream upholstery, and it pairs with the kind of quiet, contemporary scheme where the colour is meant to ground the room rather than dominate it. Being lined, the pair gives you more privacy and a better barrier against draughts than an unlined curtain would.

The header is a pencil pleat, the gathered tape heading you can see drawn up along the pole, which works on a standard track or a pole with rings and lets you adjust the fullness of the gather when you hang them. The lining is sewn in, so the curtains arrive ready to hang with no separate liner to fit. The cloth is 100% polyester, which holds colour well, resists creasing and keeps its shape through repeated use. Style them simply, with the folds allowed to break at the floor, and let the depth of the green carry the window.

Do these curtains come as a pair?

Yes, each size is sold as a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to dress both sides of your window.

What is a pencil pleat header and what does it fit?

A pencil pleat is a gathered tape heading that pulls up into narrow, upright folds. It works on a curtain track or a pole with rings.

Are these curtains lined?

Yes, they are fully lined with the lining sewn in, so they arrive ready to hang and give you added privacy and warmth at the window.

What is the fabric like?

The face is a heavyweight chenille with a plush velvet feel and a soft washed appearance, so it hangs with full, weighty folds rather than sitting flat.

Which sizes are available?

The pair is made up in eight sizes, from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm, with each figure describing the full pair.

Because the cloth is polyester, it holds its colour and shrugs off creasing, which helps the folds fall cleanly each time you draw them.
