Soft Chenille Plain Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Olive

These are pencil pleat curtains woven from soft chenille in a deep olive green, sold as a pair and available across eight drop-and-width combinations. Chenille is the feature here: a plush, matt-faced pile with no sheen to it, so the cloth reads as a warm, even colour rather than catching and bouncing light the way a satin weave would. The face is polyester and the curtains are lined, which gives them the weight to hang in full, well-defined folds from the pencil pleat header rather than sitting flat against the glass.

They suit a living room or a bedroom where you want the window to feel substantial and the light under control. The olive tone is quiet enough to sit against a pale wall without shouting, but it carries plenty of colour when the curtains are drawn across, as the close-up photograph shows. They work happily alongside natural wood, warm mustard upholstery and other earthy tones, and the pencil pleat header gathers onto a standard curtain track or pole, so they hang the way most homes are already set up to receive them.

The pencil pleat tape lets you draw the heading up to the width you need and hang with standard hooks, which makes fitting straightforward. Because chenille has a raised pile, it holds warmth well and gives the drape a soft, weighty fall. Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so measure your track width and the drop from ring to sill or floor before choosing, remembering that curtain width should comfortably exceed the track for a proper gather. The lined build and matt finish make these an easy, cosy choice for most rooms.

Do these curtains come as a pair?

Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to hang across a single window from one track or pole.

What does the pencil pleat header mean for hanging?

The pencil pleat tape gathers the top into slim upright folds and takes standard curtain hooks, so it fits the poles and tracks most homes already have.

How does the chenille feel and look?

Chenille has a raised, plush pile with a matt surface, so the olive colour stays soft and even rather than shiny, and the cloth feels warm to the touch.

What size do I need for my window?

Sizes run from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm as a pair. Measure your track width and the drop you want, allowing extra width for a full gather.

Are the curtains lined?

Yes, they are lined, which adds weight so the panels hang in fuller folds and gives the drape a more substantial fall against the window.

What rooms do these work best in?

They suit living rooms and bedrooms where you want a warm, weighty drape, and the olive tone pairs well with wood and other earthy shades.
