Description
These Heavy Chenille curtains are made from a plain velvet chenille fabric, woven in a deep, warm nutmeg red with the soft, slightly mottled surface that chenille is known for. Chenille is a pile yarn, which is what gives the cloth its dense, tactile hand and the gentle way it catches the light along each fold. The fabric is 100% polyester, so it holds its colour well, resists creasing and stands up to daily use without needing much fuss. They come as a pair and are offered in a spread of sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match both the width of your window and the drop you want.
A pair this heavy suits a living room or a bedroom where you want the window dressed properly and the light controlled at the end of the day. The warm, earthy nutmeg tone sits happily against neutral and cream walls, natural wood and other autumnal textures, and works alongside a chenille cushion in the same cloth if you want the look to carry across the room. Because the fabric is plain rather than patterned, it settles a busy scheme rather than competing with it.
The curtains are lined, which adds body to the drape and helps them hang in clean, full folds. The header is a pencil pleat, the most flexible heading to hang: it gathers the fabric into a neat, even ruffle and works on both a track and a pole. When choosing your size, take the width across the whole window rather than the panel, as a pair needs generous fullness to gather well, and measure the drop from the top of your track or pole to where you want the hem to fall. Order the chenille cushion from the same range to tie the scheme together.

Frequently Asked
Is this a pair of curtains or a single panel?
Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels sized to dress a window when drawn together with proper fullness.
What does the pencil pleat header mean for hanging?
The pencil pleat gathers the fabric into an even ruffle and suits both a curtain track and a pole, making it one of the most flexible headings to hang.
What is chenille and how does it feel?
Chenille is a pile yarn that gives the cloth a soft, dense and tactile surface, with a gentle sheen that shifts as the light moves across the folds.
Are these curtains lined?
Yes, they are lined, which gives the fabric more body, helps block light and lets the curtains hang in full, clean folds.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the full width of your window and the drop from your track or pole to the hem, then pick the pair size that covers both with enough fullness to gather.
Can I match these with other pieces?
Yes, there is a Heavy Chenille cushion in the same fabric, so you can carry the nutmeg tone and soft texture across the room.
