The Ultimate Velvet Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Burgundy

The Ultimate Velvet Pencil Pleat Curtains are made from 100% polyester with a soft matt velvet face, sold as a pair and offered across a run of sizes from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm. The burgundy shown here is a deep, warm red, and the woven velvet gives the fabric its short, dense pile and the way it catches the light down each fold. Both the face and the lining are polyester, which is the fabric to reach for when you want easy care and a cloth that holds its colour through repeated hanging.

These suit a living room or bedroom where you want the window to feel deliberate rather than an afterthought. The pencil pleat header gathers the fabric into even, upright folds and hooks onto a standard track or a curtain pole, so they work with the fittings most homes already have. With eight size combinations the range is worth reading twice before you buy: measure your pole width and your desired drop, and pick the width figure to comfortably cover the window with the curtains closed. Velvet pairs happily with warm neutral walls and a soft armchair, and the burgundy reads richly against pale plaster and natural wood.

The lining is a room-darkening polyester that blocks daylight and adds privacy, which makes these a sensible choice for a bedroom or a room that catches early sun. Polyester is a hard-wearing, colour-stable fibre, so the folds keep their shape and the cloth resists creasing between washes. The header is finished for pencil pleat hanging, and the curtains come lined and ready to hang as a pair. If you are dressing more than one window, buying to a single size across the room keeps the drape consistent from one frame to the next.

Are these curtains sold as a pair?

Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress a single window at both sides.

What does the room-darkening lining actually do?

The polyester lining blocks a good deal of incoming daylight and adds privacy, which makes these a practical choice for a bedroom or a room that catches early morning sun.

How do I choose the right size from the range?

Measure your pole or track width and the drop you want from header to floor, then pick the size whose width comfortably covers the window when the curtains are closed.

How does the pencil pleat header hang?

The header gathers the fabric into even upright folds and takes standard curtain hooks, so it works with a normal curtain track or a pole.

What is the velvet made from?

The face is 100% polyester woven as velvet, giving a short dense pile and a soft matt finish that holds its colour well through use.
