Description

These are pencil pleat curtains in a plain matt velvet, sold as a pair, in the royal blue you can see in the photographs. The face is polyester velvet with a smooth, even pile that catches the light softly rather than sharply, giving the fabric its depth without any pattern to compete with. They carry a blackout lining, which is what makes the cloth heavy enough to hang in the deep, fluid folds shown here. The range runs across eight sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a drop and a width for most standard windows.

A plain, dark velvet suits a room where you want the window to feel settled rather than busy. In the setting shown, the deep blue sits against warm neutral walls beside a rust armchair and pale wood, and the effect is grounding: the curtains read as a calm block of colour rather than a feature. They work in a bedroom, where the blackout lining earns its place, and equally in a living room where you want to close the evening off. The pile gives them a tactile warmth that flat-weave curtains do not have, so they suit cooler rooms and older houses with draughty windows.

The header is a pencil pleat, which gathers the top into a neat run of upright folds and hangs from standard curtain hooks on a track or a pole, as pictured on a pole here. Because the fabric is polyester, it is stable and hard-wearing and resists creasing, so the drape stays clean between washes. Measure your track or pole width and choose a curtain width comfortably wider so the pair still gathers when drawn closed, and check your drop from the ring or hook down to where you want the hem to fall.

Frequently Asked

Do these curtains block out light?

Yes, they carry a blackout lining, which is designed to block light and make a room darker and more private, useful in a bedroom or a room that faces the morning sun.

What does the pencil pleat header mean for hanging?

A pencil pleat gathers the top into upright folds and hangs on standard curtain hooks, so it works with either a track or a pole. You draw the cord to set the gather width.

How do I choose the right size for my window?

Measure your track or pole width and pick a curtain pair comfortably wider so it still gathers when drawn, then measure the drop from the hook down to where you want the hem.

Is the velvet shiny or matt?

It is a matt velvet, so the pile has depth and a soft sheen rather than a bright shine. It reads as a calm, even colour in most light.

What is the fabric made of?

The curtains are 100% polyester with a polyurethane backing. Polyester is hard-wearing and resists creasing, so the drape stays clean and the folds hold their shape.

Are these curtains sold singly or as a pair?

They are sold as a pair, so one order covers both sides of a window with matching drops and widths.
