The Ultimate Velvet Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Caramel

The Ultimate Velvet Pencil Pleat Curtains are a pair of fully lined velvet curtains in a warm caramel gold. The face is 100% polyester and the lining is 100% polyester, and the finish is a soft matte velvet rather than a high-shine one, so the fabric reads as depth and warmth rather than glossy sheen. They come as a pair, which is the pair you need for a single window, and they run through a wide range of drops and widths so you can match them to almost any opening.

Velvet has real presence at a window, and this caramel tone sits well against cool grey and blue-grey walls, where the warmth of the colour does the work of softening the room. It suits a living room or a bedroom, and pairs comfortably with a terracotta sofa, natural wood and muted teal accents. The room-darkening lining is the practical reason to choose these over an unlined curtain: it blocks daylight and adds privacy, so they earn their place at a bedroom window as much as a sitting-room one.

The pencil pleat header gathers the fabric into an even, folded top that hangs from curtain rings or hooks, which is the most forgiving header to hang and works on a pole or a track. When you order, measure the pole width and the drop from the pole to where you want the hem to finish, then choose from the sizes shown, quoted width by drop per pair. Velvet holds a fold, so these will drape into soft columns rather than hang flat. Both face and lining are polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that resists creasing and holds its colour, which makes velvet in this weight a sensible everyday choice rather than a delicate one. Follow the care instructions on the sewn-in label.
