Soft Chenille Plain Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Ecru

These are a pair of pencil pleat curtains in a soft chenille, sold in a plain ecru with no pattern to work around. The face and lining are both polyester, and the fabric is a matt chenille rather than a shiny one, which gives it a warm, cosy texture in the hand and a drape that falls in full, even folds. They come in a run of sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match the pair to the width of your window and the drop you want, whether you are covering a small bedroom window or a wide pair of patio doors.

Chenille suits a living room or a bedroom where you want the window to feel soft rather than crisp, and the ecru tone is a quiet cream that sits happily against warm neutrals, wood floors and painted walls in off-white or grey. Because a pencil pleat gathers the fabric tightly along a taped header, these hang from a pole with rings or a track with hooks, and the gathered top means the curtains look full even when drawn back. They pair well with a plain interior where you want the texture of the cloth to do the work.

The chenille is described by the supplier as blackout, so a closed pair will hold back daylight and help a room feel private and calm after dark. Both the face and the lining are polyester, which is hardwearing and holds its shape well through use. Take care over the size before you order, because a curtain that is too short or too narrow cannot be let out; measure your pole width and your desired drop and choose the pair that clears both. The plain finish means they slot in without competing with anything else in the room.

Are these curtains sold as a pair?

Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to hang together across a single window or opening.

What does the blackout fabric do?

The supplier describes the fabric as blackout, which means a closed pair holds back daylight to keep a room darker and more private.

How do I hang a pencil pleat curtain?

The taped header gathers into tight folds, so you hang them from a pole using curtain rings or from a track using hooks along the tape.

What is chenille like to the touch?

Chenille is a soft, tufted fabric with a matt rather than shiny surface, which gives these curtains a warm and cosy feel.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the width of your pole and the drop you want, then pick the pair that clears both, as curtains cannot be let out later.
