Description

These are The Ultimate Velvet pencil pleat curtains in charcoal, sold as a pair, with a matt velvet face and a room-darkening lining. Both the face and the lining are 100% polyester, and in the photographs the cloth reads as a deep, even mid-to-dark grey with the low sheen you get from a short velvet pile rather than a glossy one. The pencil pleat heading gathers the fabric into tight, upright folds along the top, so the curtains draw into neat vertical columns down to the hem. They come in a range of widths and drops, from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm, so there is a size for a small window and for a wide patio door.

Room-darkening curtains earn their place in a bedroom, where the lining blocks a good deal of the incoming light and adds privacy after dark, but this weight and depth of colour works equally well in a living room where you want to settle in of an evening. The charcoal sits comfortably against warm neutral walls, and the soft matt finish means it holds its own without competing with a patterned rug or a bright piece of wall art. In the photographs the pair frames a window with the folds falling straight to the floor, which is how a full-length drop is meant to hang.

Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, which is why it suits a curtain that gets drawn every day. The heading is a pencil pleat, so you thread your curtain hooks through the tape and gather it to the width you need, then hang it from a pole or a track. When choosing your size, measure your pole width and the drop from the pole to where you want the hem to finish, and pick the closest fit. Because these are lined, they hang with more body than an unlined panel.

Frequently Asked

Do these curtains block out the light?

They have a room-darkening lining that blocks a good deal of incoming light and adds privacy, which suits a bedroom where you want it darker after sunrise.

What does the size figure mean, and how do I choose?

Each figure is the width by the drop, per pair, from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm. Measure your pole width and the drop to your hem, then pick the closest.

Do I get one curtain or two?

You get a pair. The listed width is the total across both curtains when they are closed, so each panel is roughly half that width.

How do the curtains hang from a pole?

They have a pencil pleat heading, so you thread curtain hooks through the tape, gather the fabric to the width you need, and hang from a pole or a track.

What does a velvet face feel and look like?

Velvet has a short raised pile that gives it a soft hand and, here, a matt finish rather than a shine, so the charcoal reads as a deep, even colour.

Are they suitable for a wide window or patio door?

The largest size is 229cm wide by 229cm drop per pair, so there is an option for a wide window or a full-length door as well as smaller windows.
