Description
Our Hebden curtains carry a vertical grey-and-white stripe across a cotton face, hung on a pencil pleat header. The stripe is uneven and slightly slubbed rather than a hard printed line, so it reads as a soft, handmade ticking pattern up close and a calm vertical rhythm from across the room. The face is 100% cotton, a natural fibre that feels soft to handle and drapes into full, rounded folds when gathered. They come as a pair and in a wide spread of sizes, from a modest 117 × 137cm up to a broad, floor-length 229 × 229cm, so you can match them to anything from a single window to a set of patio doors.
A striped curtain in grey sits happily in a living room, a bedroom or a study, and the neutral palette means it will not fight with what you already own. The vertical line has a lengthening effect, which is worth knowing if your ceilings are on the low side. The pencil pleat header pulls up into even, upright gathers and takes standard curtain hooks, so it works on a track or on a pole with rings, whichever you already have fitted. Pair them with plain walls and natural wood, or let the stripe be the pattern in a room where everything else stays quiet.
These curtains are lined, which gives the folds more body, helps them hang straight and darkens the room behind them for better privacy and a more restful sleep. The lining is a polyester and cotton blend, chosen to be hard-wearing behind a natural cotton face. Measure the width of your track or pole and the drop you want before choosing a size, since a pair should cover the window with room to gather. As a finishing note, the muted grey stripe is an easy companion to linen cushions, woollen throws and warm neutral paintwork.

Frequently Asked
Do these curtains come as a pair?
Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to hang either side of your window.
Will the lining help block out light?
The curtains are lined, which darkens the room behind them for more privacy and a more restful night, though this is a lined curtain rather than full blackout.
What is the header type and what does it fit?
They have a pencil pleat header, which gathers into even upright folds and takes standard curtain hooks for use on a track or a pole with rings.
What are they made from?
The face is 100% cotton, a soft natural fibre, and the lining behind it is a polyester and cotton blend chosen to be hard-wearing.
How do I choose the right size?
Sizes run from 117 × 137cm up to 229 × 229cm per pair, so measure your track or pole width and the drop you want before ordering.
