Heavy Chenille Plain Velvet Pencil Pleat Curtains - Navy

These are heavy chenille curtains in a deep navy blue, sold as a pair and headed with a pencil pleat tape. The face and lining are both polyester, and the fabric carries the soft, slightly washed appearance you can see in the close-up: a dense, plush pile that catches the light unevenly and gives the drape its weight. That weight matters here. A heavier cloth falls into fuller, deeper folds and holds its shape rather than fluttering, which is why chenille reads as a more substantial curtain than a plain flat-weave.

They suit a living room or a bedroom where you want a calm, enveloping feel, and the navy sits comfortably against warm neutral walls and natural wood, as the room shots show. The supplier lists these as a blackout curtain, so they are a sensible choice for a bedroom you want dark for sleep, or a snug where you want to shut out streetlight and glare. The pencil pleat header gathers the fabric into even, upright folds and hangs from standard curtain hooks, so it works on a pole or a track and lets you adjust the gather to your window width.

Being polyester through both the face and the lining, these are hard-wearing and hold colour well, and polyester resists creasing so they recover their hang after being drawn. Check the two figures before you order: the first is the width of each panel and the second is the drop, and you want a combined pair width comfortably wider than your track so the curtains still gather when closed. Sizes run from a shorter, narrower pair up to a wide, full-length pair, so measure your pole and your drop before choosing.

Are these curtains sold as a pair?

Yes, each size is a pair of two panels. The first figure is the width of one panel and the second is the drop, so measure both against your window.

Do these block out light?

The supplier describes them as a blackout curtain, with a blackout lining behind the chenille face, which makes them a good choice for a bedroom you want dark for sleep.

What is chenille and how does it feel?

Chenille is a soft, plush pile fabric with a slightly velvety hand. It is dense and weighty, which is why these curtains hang in full, deep folds rather than thin ones.

Will a pencil pleat header fit my pole or track?

Pencil pleat gathers onto standard curtain hooks and works on both a pole and a track. You adjust the gather along the tape to suit your window width.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the width of your pole or track and your desired drop. Choose a pair width comfortably greater than the track so the fabric still gathers fully when the curtains are closed.
