Heavy Chenille Plain Velvet Pencil Pleat Curtains - Brown

These Heavy Chenille curtains come as a lined pair in a deep, even brown, made from a soft velvet chenille fabric with the low, plush sheen you can see catching the light along each fold. The pile is dense and short, giving a fabric that hangs with real weight rather than floating, and the plain, unpatterned face lets the colour and the texture do all the work. They are finished with a pencil pleat header, which gathers the fabric into neat vertical folds and hooks onto a standard curtain track or a ringed pole.

A pair like this suits a living room or bedroom where you want warmth and a sense of enclosure in the evening. The brown reads as a grounding, earthy tone that sits happily against neutral walls, wood floors and natural textures such as jute and rattan, and it pairs comfortably with a wooden pole as shown. Because chenille has body, these curtains drape into deep, soft columns rather than crisp pleats, which is the look to expect if you like a relaxed rather than tailored finish at the window.

The fabric is 100% polyester, which is hard-wearing, holds its colour well and resists creasing, so the curtains recover their shape after hanging. They are lined, which adds weight for a better hang and gives a little extra privacy. Pencil pleat tape lets you draw the gathers to fit your track width, so measure your pole or track length before choosing a size. They are available in several drops and widths, and the wider Heavy Chenille range includes a matching cushion if you want to echo the fabric elsewhere in the room.

Are these curtains sold as a pair?

Yes, each size is supplied as a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to hang either side of your window.

What is a pencil pleat header and how does it hang?

Pencil pleat tape gathers the top of the fabric into slim upright folds, and it works with both a curtain track and a ringed pole using standard hooks.

What is the fabric like to the touch?

The face is a soft velvet chenille with a short, dense pile, giving a plush surface and a subtle sheen where the light falls across the folds.

How do I choose the right size?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, so measure your track or pole width and your desired drop before ordering.

Are these curtains lined?

Yes, they are lined, which adds weight for a fuller hang and gives a little extra privacy at the window.

Will polyester curtains keep their shape?

Polyester is hard-wearing and resists creasing well, so these curtains tend to recover their shape and hold their colour over time.
