Heavy Chenille Plain Velvet Pencil Pleat Curtains - Eucalyptus

These are heavy chenille velvet pencil pleat curtains in a soft eucalyptus green, sold as a pair. The face is a dense, plain-woven chenille velvet with a gently washed, tonal finish that catches the light differently as it folds, so a single colour reads with real depth rather than flat. They are lined, which gives the fabric weight and helps them hang in clean, full pleats. The range runs across eight sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a width and drop to suit most standard and larger windows.

Pencil pleat is the most adaptable of curtain headings: the gathered tape lets you draw the fabric into even folds and hang the pair from either a track or a pole with rings, as shown here. That makes these a sensible choice for a living room, bedroom or dining room where you want a warm, enveloping look without committing to a fixed pleat style. The eucalyptus green sits quietly against neutral walls and pale woodwork, and works alongside natural timber, cream upholstery and other muted greens if you are building a calm, earthy scheme.

The chenille velvet is thick and lined, so the pair does a real job on insulation and on softening light through the window. Being 100% polyester, the fabric is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, and it resists the creasing you would get from a natural fibre. Measure your track or pole width first: for a generous gathered look you want the total curtain width to comfortably exceed the window, which is why the wider sizes in the range pair a broad width with a shorter or longer drop. Choose the drop that reaches your sill, or the floor, depending on the finish you are after.

Is this price for one curtain or a pair?

Each size is sold as a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to hang together across your window.

Will these fit a curtain pole as well as a track?

Yes. The pencil pleat tape gathers the fabric into folds and works with a track or a pole with rings, as shown in the photographs.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your track or pole width and the drop you want, then pick a size that comfortably exceeds the window width so the pair gathers into full folds.

What does the chenille velvet feel like?

It is a thick, soft pile with a gently washed, tonal look, so the plain eucalyptus green reads with depth and shifts subtly across the folds.

Are the curtains lined?

Yes, they are lined, which adds weight for a fuller drape and helps with insulation and softening the light coming through the window.

What is the fabric made from?

The curtains are 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds its colour well and resists the creasing you would expect from a natural cloth.
