Heavy Chenille Plain Velvet Lined Pencil Pleat Curtains - Greige

These Heavy Chenille curtains are made from a plain velvet chenille cloth in greige, a soft grey-beige that sits quietly between warm and cool. There is no pattern to match or place; the interest is all in the surface, where the chenille pile catches the light and gives the fabric a gentle, washed depth as it falls into folds. They come as a pair and hang from a pencil pleat header, the gathered tape at the top that draws the fabric into even upright pleats and works with standard curtain hooks on a track or a pole.

They suit a modern, neutral room where you want weight and softness at the window without a strong colour or print pulling focus. Greige is an easy partner for pale walls, natural wood and stone tones, and it sits well beside grey, cream and taupe soft furnishings. The plain finish means they work equally in a living room, a bedroom or a study, and there is a Heavy Chenille cushion in the same range if you want to echo the fabric across the room.

The curtains are made from 100% polyester, which holds its shape well, resists creasing and stands up to everyday use and repeated washing better than many natural fibres. They are lined, which adds body to the drape and gives you more privacy after dark. They are sold in eight width-and-drop combinations, so measure your track or pole width and the drop from the header down to where you want the hem to finish before you choose. Chenille velvet rewards a little care in handling, and the plain colourway makes it simple to build a calm, layered scheme around it.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to hang on either side of your window or door.

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

Pencil pleat is a gathered tape at the top that pulls the fabric into slim upright folds, and it works with standard curtain hooks on a track or a pole.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the width of your track or pole and the drop from the header to where you want the hem, then pick the closest combination from the eight sizes offered.

Are these curtains lined?

Yes, they are lined, which gives the fabric more body in the drape and adds a degree of privacy once it gets dark outside.

What does the chenille velvet feel like?

Chenille has a soft pile that gives a slightly plush, textured surface, and the polyester construction keeps it durable and easy to live with day to day.
