The Ultimate Velvet Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Chocolate

The Ultimate Velvet Pencil Pleat Curtains are a pair of fully lined velvet curtains in a deep chocolate brown, made from 100% polyester on both the face and the lining. The soft matte finish reads as warm and even in the photographs, catching the light gently down the folds rather than throwing back a sheen, so the colour stays rich whether the sun is on them or not. A curtain SKU here is a pair, so the width you choose is split across the two panels that meet in the middle of your window.

These suit a living room or bedroom where you want the window to feel finished and the light under your control. The lining is a room-darkening one, which blocks daylight and adds privacy after dark, so they earn their place in a bedroom or a snug where you watch a screen. The chocolate tone sits comfortably against warm neutrals and green upholstery, and it carries weight in a scheme without demanding to be the loudest thing in the room. Hung high and wide of the window, they make the wall feel taller.

The heading is a pencil pleat, which gathers the fabric into a tight, upright ruffle at the top and hangs on hooks from a track or a pole, so it is the flexible, forgiving header that fits most fittings. Velvet drapes with real weight, which is why these fall in deep even folds rather than thin ones. Polyester velvet holds its colour well and does not crush as readily as some pile fabrics. Pair them with a plain pole and a textured cushion or two, and let the fabric do the work.

What does the pencil pleat header work with?

The pencil pleat gathers onto standard curtain hooks, so it hangs from either a track or a pole and suits most existing fittings without special hardware.

How dark will these make the room?

The lining is room-darkening, which means it blocks a good deal of daylight and adds privacy, making them a sensible choice for bedrooms and snugs.

Is a single size one panel or two?

Each size you order is a pair of curtains, so the stated width is shared across two panels that draw together across your window.

What sizes are available?

They run from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm per pair, so measure your window width and drop before choosing the closest fit.

Why choose velvet for curtains?

Velvet has a dense pile that drapes with weight and falls in deep even folds, adding warmth and texture to a window that thinner fabrics cannot match.

Does the polyester face fade?

Polyester holds colour well and resists fading, which helps a deep tone like chocolate stay rich through daily use and daylight.
