Description
These are heavy chenille velvet pencil pleat curtains in a soft olive green, sold as a pair. The face cloth is a plain, densely woven chenille velvet with a gently washed appearance, so the surface catches the light unevenly and shifts between deeper and lighter olive as the folds move. There is no pattern to line up here; the appeal is the weight and the pile, and the fabric is 100% polyester, which keeps it soft to the touch while standing up to daily handling. They come lined and finished with a pencil pleat header, the gathered tape at the top that lets you draw the fabric into even folds and hook onto a track or a pole.
The curtains suit a living room or a bedroom where you want warmth and a bit of weight at the window rather than a light, sheer look. Olive is an easy green to place, sitting comfortably against neutral walls, natural wood and stone, and it works with a room that leans towards muted, earthy tones. The pencil pleat header is the most flexible heading to hang, taking either a pole or a track, so these fit most existing setups without a rethink of your fittings. Pair them with a matching heavy chenille cushion for a relaxed, put-together feel.
Because the header is a pencil pleat, you gather the tape to the width you need and space the hooks to suit your pole or track, which gives you room to adjust the fullness of the folds. The lining adds body and helps the curtains hang and drape well. The width figure in the size is the width of a single curtain in the pair, so measure your window and choose the drop that reaches where you want it to fall, whether that is the sill, below the sill or the floor. This is a plain design meant to be a quiet backdrop, so it pairs happily with patterned cushions and throws in the same earthy family.

Frequently Asked
Is this one curtain or a pair?
Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to hang either side of your window on a pole or track.
What does the size measurement mean?
The first figure is the width of a single curtain in the pair and the second is the drop, so measure your window width and the height you want the fabric to fall to.
What is a pencil pleat header?
It is a gathered tape sewn along the top that you draw up into narrow, even folds, then hook onto a track or a pole, which makes them simple to hang.
What is chenille velvet like to live with?
Chenille is a soft, dense pile fabric with a slight sheen, so it feels warm and substantial at the window and gives a plain curtain some depth and texture.
Are these curtains lined?
Yes, they come lined, which adds weight and body so they hang and drape well and gives the window a fuller, more finished look.
Will olive work with my decor?
Olive is a muted, earthy green that sits well against neutral walls, natural wood and stone, so it suits calm, modern rooms in warm tones.
