Hebden Striped Cotton Pencil Pleat Curtains - Forest

Our Hebden curtains take a simple vertical stripe and let it carry the whole window. The face is 100% cotton, printed with a narrow forest-green stripe on a soft off-white ground, so the pattern reads as a calm, regular rhythm rather than anything loud. They hang as a pair on a pencil pleat header, which gathers the fabric into upright folds and hooks straight onto a standard track or curtain pole ring. The stripe runs floor to ceiling, which is the quality that makes the design feel taller and quieter than a plain panel of the same colour.

These suit a living room or bedroom where you want pattern without a busy print, and the forest-green stripe sits happily against warm neutral walls, pale wood and natural textures. Because they are supplied as a pair, measure your track or pole width and remember that pencil pleat curtains are gathered, so each pair needs to be wider than the window to hang with proper fullness. The range comes in several drops and widths, from 117cm to 229cm, so you can match the pair to a small window or a tall set of doors.

The face is pure cotton, a natural fibre that presses flat and takes a crisp stripe well. The lining is a separate polyester layer with an acrylic backing, which is what gives the pair its blackout performance, blocking daylight so a bedroom stays dark until you draw them back. Cotton and lined curtains of this weight hang best given room to fall, so let them settle after hanging and dress the folds down the drop. The Hebden stripe is an easy match with plain cushions and throws in the same green family if you want to pull the scheme together.

Do these curtains come as a pair?

Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress both sides of a single window.

Will the blackout lining keep a bedroom dark?

The lining is a polyester layer with an acrylic backing designed to block daylight, which helps keep a bedroom dark until you draw the curtains back.

What does the pencil pleat header need to hang from?

The gathered pencil pleat header takes standard curtain hooks and hangs from a track or from rings on a curtain pole, as shown in the photographs.

What is the face fabric made from?

The face is 100% cotton, a natural fibre that presses flat and holds a crisp printed stripe well over time.

Which size should I choose for my window?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, and because pencil pleat curtains gather, choose a width wider than your track for proper fullness.
