Hebden Striped Cotton Pencil Pleat Curtains - Eucalyptus

The Hebden is a pencil pleat curtain in pure cotton, woven with a soft vertical stripe in eucalyptus green against a pale ground. Sold as a pair, it comes in a wide spread of sizes from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a fit for a modest bedroom window as much as a broad living room bay. The face is 100% cotton, and behind it sits a blackout lining that blocks daylight, giving you a genuinely dark room when you want one.

A striped cotton curtain like this sits comfortably in a bedroom, where the blackout lining earns its place by keeping early light out until you are ready to rise. It works equally well in a living room or a study, and the narrow, unfussy stripe reads as a soft texture from across the room rather than a loud pattern, so it settles alongside plain walls and natural wood without competing. Pair it with linen upholstery, a jute rug or painted furniture for a relaxed, informal look.

The header is a pencil pleat, which gathers the fabric into an even, upright ruffle and hooks onto a standard track or a curtain pole; it is one of the more forgiving headers to hang and to draw. Cotton on the face means the fabric feels natural to handle and takes a stripe cleanly, while the lining is polyester with an acrylic backing that does the light-blocking work. When you choose your size, measure your track or pole width rather than the window itself, and remember this is a pair, so each panel covers roughly half the stated width. The Hebden range carries the same stripe across several colourways if you want to match a scheme.

Do these curtains actually block out the light?

Yes, they have a blackout lining behind the cotton face, which is made to block daylight and keep a room dark, useful in a bedroom or nursery.

How many curtains come in a pack?

Each size is sold as a pair, so you receive two matching panels. When measuring, plan for each panel to cover roughly half your track or pole width.

Which size should I order for my window?

Measure the width of your track or pole and the drop you want, then choose from the range that runs 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair.

What is the face fabric made of?

The face is 100% cotton, a natural fibre that feels soft to handle and holds the printed stripe cleanly, while the separate lining handles the light-blocking.

What header do these curtains have?

They have a pencil pleat header, which gathers the top into an even upright ruffle and hooks onto a standard curtain track or pole for easy hanging.
