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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Polyester with polyurethane backing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlain matt velvet, royal blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePencil pleat header, blackout lined\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e117 x 137cm to 229 x 229cm (per pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePair of curtains\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo these curtains block out light?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the pencil pleat header mean for hanging?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pencil pleat gathers the top into upright folds and hangs on standard curtain hooks, so it works with either a track or a pole.
