Marigold Jacquard Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Indigo

These pencil pleat curtains carry Marigold, a William Morris design first drawn in 1875, worked here as a jacquard in indigo blue against a soft cream ground. The pattern is the reason to choose them: ruffling foliage and rounded sunburst marigolds swirl across the cloth so the whole drop reads as one continuous, moving design rather than a repeat you notice. The fabric is 100% polyester, and the weave is a jacquard, which means the pattern is built into the cloth on the loom rather than printed on the surface, so it holds its depth and does not sit flat. Each order is a pair of curtains, lined, and they come in a range of widths and drops from 117 x 182cm up to 228 x 228cm so you can match the size to your window.

They suit a living room, a bedroom or a study where you want the window to feel dressed and the light softened. The indigo and cream sit naturally against painted panelling, warm wood floors and mid-century seating, and the busy floral works best where the rest of the room stays quieter. Because the design is a Morris classic, it pairs happily with other archive patterns without clashing, and with plain walls it gives a room its focal point. The lining adds body and helps the curtains hang in even folds when drawn.

The heading is a pencil pleat, the gathered tape that pulls up into neat vertical folds and hangs from hooks on a track or a pole. It is the most forgiving heading to fit and the easiest to adjust. Polyester is easy to live with: it holds colour well, resists creasing and does not need the careful handling a natural fibre would. When measuring, remember the width figure is for the pair, so allow for the fullness a gathered heading needs across your window.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

Each order is a pair of lined curtains, so you receive two panels to dress both sides of a window from a single purchase.

What does the width measurement refer to?

The first figure is the total width across the pair. A pencil pleat heading gathers up, so choose a width wider than your track to give proper fullness.

What is a jacquard weave and why does it matter here?

Jacquard means the Marigold pattern is woven into the cloth on the loom rather than printed on top, so the design has real depth and does not wear off the surface.

How does the pencil pleat heading hang?

The sewn tape pulls up into neat vertical folds and hooks onto a track or a pole, making it simple to hang and easy to adjust for fullness.

What is polyester like to look after?

Polyester holds its colour well, resists creasing and stays stable over time, which makes these curtains straightforward to live with day to day.
