Description
These are The Ultimate Velvet pencil pleat curtains, a pair made from 100% polyester with a soft matte velvet face and a room-darkening lining that is also 100% polyester. They arrive as a pair, so one order dresses a single window with two curtains that meet in the middle. The photographs show them in a warm natural shade, a soft beige-cream that catches the light gently across the folds rather than reflecting it, which is what the matte finish gives you. The velvet pile is short and smooth, with a fluid drape that falls in clean vertical folds from the pencil pleat header.
Curtains like these suit a living room or a bedroom where you want to shut out light and add a layer of warmth to the walls. The room-darkening lining makes them a sensible choice for a bedroom that faces morning sun, or a snug where you watch television and want to cut daytime glare. The natural tone is easy to live with and sits well against neutral or painted walls, pale sofas and wooden furniture, as the styled photograph shows. The pencil pleat header gathers onto a standard curtain track or pole with hooks, so they hang the way most homes are already set up for.
The header is a pencil pleat, which draws the fabric into even upright gathers and gives a full, tidy top edge that is straightforward to hang. Because both the face and the lining are polyester, the fabric is hard-wearing and holds its shape over time. Available across a range of drops and widths, from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm, so you can match the pair to your window. Measure your track or pole width and your desired drop before choosing, since curtains are sold by finished panel size.

Frequently Asked
Are these curtains sold as a pair?
Yes, one order gives you a pair of curtains, two panels that meet in the middle to cover a single window.
