Hang these curtains on a pole or track using curtain hooks. The pencil pleat heading offers three positions for perfect hanging. The John Lewis matte velvet pair provides blackout and thermal insulation. Crafted from recycled polyester, this British brand curtain pair is sustainable.
These curtains are a plain-coloured velvet with a matte finish, making them an easy go-to option. The blackout lining both eliminates light and lends a full look to the curtains, improving the drape and enhancing the vibrancy of the design.
Warm in winter, cool in summer
As the blackout lining on these curtains blocks out sunlight they help keep your room cool as well as dark. This lining also adds an extra layer of insulation to the curtains, giving them the added benefit of being thermal. They protect against both heat loss and heat gain, regulating the temperature of your room so you're kept warm in winter and cool in summer.
Choosing the right size
These curtains can be hung with a pole or track using curtain hooks (not included). There are three hook positions on the heading, allowing you to choose how your curtains sit against the track or pole. For example, if you're using a track you may want to use the middle or lower row of hooks to cover the track, whereas if you're using a pole you may want to use the top row of hooks so the curtains hang below the rings. The specified drop is taken from the top row of hook pockets to the bottom edge of the curtain.
The width stated indicates the size of one curtain panel when laid completely flat. This pack contains two panels, and the track/pole length we've recommended allows for the two panels to be gathered when the curtains are drawn. For a fuller look, increase the curtain width.
One pair of 167cm width curtains will fit curtain track/pole size 133-167cm
One pair of 228cm width curtains will fit curtain track/pole size 182-228cm
Worth knowing...
We package our curtains in recycled materials to keep them protected whilst they make their way to you. When they arrive they may be creased. We recommend you follow the ironing instructions on the back of the packaging prior to hanging your curtains. Be aware that each style of curtain has different ironing instructions, including heat limitations according to the fabric, so do make sure you follow the guidance provided to get the best results.
