FAQs

What material are the Tivoli Curtains made from?

The Tivoli Curtains are made from 100% Polyester, designed to mimic the look and feel of faux dupioni silk.

How do I determine the correct size curtains to order?

Measure the width of your curtain pole or track and the desired drop length from the hook to the floor or windowsill. Refer to the product's sizing guide for specific measurements.

Can these curtains be used in a bathroom?

While machine washable, faux silk is not ideal for high-moisture environments like bathrooms due to potential damage. They are best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas.

Are tie-backs included with the curtains?

Yes, matching tie-backs are included with the Alan Symonds Tivoli Curtains.

What is the best way to hang curtains with a pencil pleat header?

You will need specific pencil pleat curtain hooks, which are inserted into the pleats. These hooks then attach to the runners on a curtain track or the rings on a curtain pole.

How often should I wash these curtains?

Washing frequency depends on your environment. For general freshening, a wash every 6-12 months is typical. Check for any visible dust or marks before washing.

Can I use bleach on these curtains?

No, bleach should not be used as it can damage the fabric and color. Only use a mild detergent for washing.

Troubleshooting

Curtains appear creased after washing.

Iron on a low setting while the curtains are slightly damp. Alternatively, hang them up immediately after washing to allow gravity to help reduce creases.

Pencil pleats not gathering evenly.

Ensure curtain hooks are inserted into all available pockets and that they are spaced evenly. Adjust the hook positions slightly if needed to achieve a uniform pleat.

Color fading over time.

While durable, prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading. Utilize the tie-backs to draw curtains during the brightest parts of the day or consider a UV-protective lining if fading is a significant concern.

Fabric feels stiff after drying.

This can sometimes happen with faux silk. A very low heat iron with a pressing cloth can help soften the fabric. Ensure the low temperature wash was used.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant faux silk material provides a luxurious appearance.
  • Classic floral pattern complements traditional and sophisticated decor.
  • Fully lined for improved light blocking and insulation.
  • Machine washable for easy care and maintenance.
  • Includes tie-backs for added functionality and a finished look.

Cons

  • Faux silk may not have the same natural texture as real silk.
  • Pencil pleat header requires specific curtain hooks and poles.
  • Requires line drying, which may take longer than tumble drying.
  • Limited color options within this specific design (though other Tivoli variants exist).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These curtains feature a pencil pleat header. To hang, you will need curtain hooks that insert into the pleats and attach to a curtain track or rings on a pole. Ensure the hooks are spaced correctly for an even drape. Use the included tie-backs by securing them to wall hooks positioned at the desired height to hold the curtains open.

Compatibility: The pencil pleat header is compatible with most standard curtain tracks and poles designed for this heading type. The cream color offers versatility, fitting well with a wide range of interior color palettes, particularly those favoring neutral, warm, or classic aesthetics.

Care:

  • Washing: Machine washable on a low temperature setting (typically 30°C or 40°C). Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Line dry only. Avoid tumble drying, as excessive heat can damage the faux silk fabric. Hang the curtains or lay them flat to dry.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. It is recommended to iron while the curtains are still slightly damp or use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.
