Description
These are heavy chenille curtains in a deep, even brown, sold as a pair with a pencil pleat header and a blackout lining. The face is a plush, softly washed pile that catches the light unevenly across the folds, so the colour reads warmer where it turns to the window and darker in the depth of the drape. They come in eight made-to-hang sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a fit for a narrow bedroom window and for a wide reception opening alike.
A pencil pleat header gathers the fabric into tight vertical folds and hangs from standard curtain hooks, which means these will sit on a pole or a track without any special fittings. The weight of the chenille is the point of them: it pulls the fabric into a full, straight drape rather than letting it billow, and the blackout lining behind the face makes them a sensible choice for a bedroom where you want the room properly dark, or a snug where you want to shut the evening out. They suit a calm, contemporary room, and the brown sits happily against pale walls, warm wood floors and natural jute underfoot.
The face and the lining are both polyester, which holds colour well and resists the creasing that can dog natural fibres, so the folds stay crisp between washes. Chenille has a raised pile, so it reads as a rich, matt velvet rather than a flat weave, and the plain, undyed-looking finish keeps the focus on the texture instead of a pattern. Pair them with a green or oatmeal cushion to lift the brown, or let them anchor a scheme of earthy neutrals.

Frequently Asked
Do these curtains block out the light?
Yes, they are made with a blackout lining behind the chenille face, which is designed to block daylight and make a room properly dark for sleeping.
What size curtains should I choose?
They run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, and the measurements are per pair, so measure your pole width and drop before you choose.
Will these fit a standard curtain pole or track?
Yes, the pencil pleat header takes standard curtain hooks and gathers onto a pole or a track, so no special fittings are needed to hang them.
What does chenille feel like?
Chenille has a soft, raised pile that reads like a matt velvet, giving these curtains a plush texture and a full, weighted drape.
Is the fabric a plain colour or patterned?
It is a plain brown throughout, with the interest coming from the washed, textured pile rather than any printed or woven pattern.
