Soft Chenille Plain Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Rust

These are pencil pleat curtains in a plain rust orange, woven from soft matte chenille with a full blackout performance. A curtain SKU is a pair, so you receive two panels ready to hang. Chenille is a pile yarn, which is what gives the cloth its warm, slightly textured surface and the way it catches light softly rather than shining back at you. The face and the lining are both polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds its shape, resists creasing and drapes with real weight. They come in a wide spread of sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair, so there is a fit for a small bedroom window as well as a broad living room bay.

Rust is a deep, earthy orange, and it sits naturally alongside warm neutral walls, green foliage and wooden furniture, the sort of setting the photographs show. These suit a bedroom where the blackout lining earns its keep, holding a room dark through summer mornings and street lighting at night. They work equally well in a living room or snug where you want the window dressed and the draught kept out. The pencil pleat header gathers the fabric into even, upright folds and threads onto a standard curtain track or pole, so hanging is straightforward.

The blackout construction means the cloth is dense enough to block light rather than filter it, which also helps a room feel quieter and warmer. The header is a pencil pleat, ready to hook onto rings or a track. When measuring, remember the first figure is the width of each pair and the second is the drop, so check both against your window before choosing a size. The chenille pile pairs well with velvet cushions and a jute rug for a layered, cosy scheme, or keep the surrounding palette plain and let the curtains carry the colour.

Do these curtains block out light fully?

Yes, the fabric is a blackout construction, dense enough to block light rather than simply filter it, which suits bedrooms and rooms with bright street lighting.

What does the chenille feel like?

Chenille is a pile yarn, so the surface is soft and slightly textured with a matte finish, giving a warm, cosy feel rather than a shiny sheen.

How do I know which size to order?

The first figure is the width per pair and the second is the drop, so measure your track width and the length you want the curtains to fall before choosing.

What header do these have and how do they hang?

They have a pencil pleat header, which gathers the top into even upright folds and hooks onto a standard curtain track or pole for easy hanging.

Are both panels included?

Yes, this is sold as a pair, so you receive two curtain panels in each order, one for each side of the window.

What colour is rust in real terms?
