Hebden Striped Cotton Pencil Pleat Curtains - Chocolate

The Hebden is a pair of pencil pleat curtains cut from 100% cotton, printed with a fine vertical stripe in chocolate brown against an off-white ground. The stripe is a printed woven-look design, so the pattern carries the texture of a woven cloth while the face itself is a lightweight cotton that hangs in a soft, relaxed drape rather than a stiff fall. Behind the cotton face sits a blackout lining, which is the reason these curtains do more than dress a window. They come in eight sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, so there is a width and drop to suit most standard windows and taller doors.

These suit a bedroom first of all, where the blackout lining keeps early daylight out until you are ready to be up, and they work equally well in a living room where you want the light under control of an evening. The narrow chocolate stripe reads as a quiet, considered pattern rather than a loud one, so it sits happily against pale walls and natural woods, and pairs comfortably with linen-look upholstery and warm neutral rooms. Hung from a wooden pole on curtain hooks, the pencil pleat gathers the fabric into an even, upright header that gives a tidy, traditional finish.

The face is 100% cotton and the lining is polyester with an acrylic backing, which is what delivers the blackout performance. Cotton is a breathable natural fibre that hangs well and takes a printed pattern crisply, which is why the stripe stays sharp across the drop. The pencil pleat header takes standard curtain hooks and pins onto a track or pole. As a pair, both curtains arrive together ready to hang, so you dress the whole window in one go.

Do these curtains block out the light?

Yes. They have a blackout lining behind the cotton face, which keeps daylight at bay and makes them a good choice for a bedroom where you want to sleep past sunrise.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

The price is for a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to dress both sides of your window in a single order.

What header do these have and how do they hang?

They have a pencil pleat header, which gathers the fabric into an even upright pleat and takes standard curtain hooks for hanging on a track or a pole.

What is the fabric and how does it drape?

The face is 100% cotton, a breathable natural fibre that hangs in a soft, relaxed drape and holds a printed pattern crisply across the length of the curtain.

Which size should I choose?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair. Measure your pole width and the drop you want, then pick the nearest size up for full coverage.
