Description
The Ultimate Velvet Pencil Pleat Curtains are sold as a pair, made with a face and lining that are both 100% polyester and finished in a soft matte velvet. The photographs show a silver-grey cloth with a gentle sheen where the light catches the fabric, hanging in deep, fluid folds. Velvet is a pile fabric, which is where that depth of drape and the quiet way it holds colour comes from, and the room-darkening lining means the curtains block a good deal of daylight rather than filtering it. They come in eight sizes, spanning 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match the drop and width to your window rather than settling for the nearest fit.
These suit a bedroom where you want to keep morning light out, or a living room where you want the window to feel dressed and the space to feel warmer underfoot. The silver-grey reads as a soft neutral that sits happily against painted walls in almost any tone, and the plain finish means it works with patterned cushions and rugs without competing. In the room photograph they hang against a sage wall beside a boucle chair and warm wood, which gives a sense of how forgiving the colour is next to natural materials.
The header is a pencil pleat, which gathers the top into even folds and hangs from curtain hooks on a track or a pole, giving you flexibility over how you hang them. The lining is sewn in, so the curtains block light without a separate liner to buy or fit. Choose your size by measuring both the width you want to cover and the drop from the pole or track down to where you want the hem to sit, remembering the figures are given width first. Polyester velvet holds its shape well and resists creasing, which is part of why it drapes so cleanly straight off the pole.

Frequently Asked
Are these curtains sold as a pair?
Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress both sides of your window.
Will these block out the light?
They have a room-darkening lining that blocks a good deal of daylight and adds privacy, though room-darkening is not the same as fully blackout.
What does the pencil pleat header mean for hanging?
The top gathers into even folds and hangs from curtain hooks, so they work on either a track or a pole depending on your setup.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the width you want to cover and the drop from your pole or track to the hem, then pick the closest size, reading the figures width first.
What is the fabric made of?
Both the face and the lining are 100% polyester with a soft matte velvet finish, which drapes cleanly and resists creasing.
