FAQs
What are the dimensions of these curtains?
These curtains measure 168 x 183cm.
Are these curtains machine washable?
No, due to the delicate fabric and embroidery, these curtains are strictly dry clean only. Please follow the care instructions carefully.
Do these curtains come with hooks or a curtain rail?
No, the curtains do not include hooks or a curtain rail. You will need to purchase appropriate tracks and hooks separately for installation.
What does 'pencil pleat' mean?
Pencil pleat is a type of curtain heading characterized by a tightly gathered top edge that resembles a line of pencils. It's created by pulling cords through a heading tape, allowing you to adjust the width and fullness of the curtain.
What material are these curtains made from?
The curtains are made from 100% hard-wearing polyester, which provides durability and contributes to their room darkening properties.
Are tiebacks included with the curtains?
Yes, two matching tiebacks with stainless steel rings are included to complement your curtains and hold them neatly when open.
Will these curtains block out all light?
While the thick fabric provides significant room darkening properties, no curtain can completely block 100% of light unless specifically advertised as blackout. They will substantially reduce light for a darker environment.
Troubleshooting
Curtains not hanging evenly or pleats look messy.
Ensure the pencil pleat cords are evenly gathered and securely tied. Adjust the spacing of the curtain hooks along the tape to achieve an even drape. Gently 'dress' the curtains by arranging the pleats by hand after hanging.
Room is not dark enough after installing curtains.
Verify that the curtains cover the entire window area with sufficient overlap on the sides. Check for any gaps at the top, sides, or bottom where light might be seeping through. Ensure the curtains are wide enough to fully close without stretching the pleats.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled upon unpacking.
New curtains often have creases from packaging. Hang them for several days, and gravity will usually help most creases fall out. For stubborn wrinkles, do not iron. Consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming or pressing, as ironing incorrectly can damage the fabric and embroidery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Unpack Carefully: Gently remove the curtains and tiebacks from their packaging. Lay them flat or hang them loosely to allow any creases from packaging to relax.
Gather Pleats: The pencil pleat heading features multiple cords running through the top. Gently pull these cords to gather the fabric to your desired width. Secure the cords by tying them off firmly, ensuring the gather is even across the curtain width. Distribute the gathers evenly for a neat, 'pencil' effect.
Attach Hooks: Insert curtain hooks (not included) into the woven pockets on the back of the pencil pleat tape. Position hooks approximately 3-4 inches apart for a balanced hang. The number of hooks will depend on the width of your track or pole.
Install: Hang the curtains onto your existing curtain track gliders or pole rings. Ensure the curtains are evenly spaced and hang freely.
Compatibility
Window Areas: These curtains are designed to be adaptable and will fit a range of window areas. The dimensions are 168 x 183cm.
Installation Hardware: Compatible with standard curtain tracks and curtain poles (when used with rings). Tracks and hooks are required and sold separately.
Interior Styles: Best suited for traditional, classic, or opulent home interiors, complementing rich wood tones, antique furniture, and detailed decor.
Care Instructions
Cleaning: Due to the delicate embroidered damask pattern and chenille-style fabric, these curtains are dry clean only. Do not wash, tumble dry, iron directly on embroidery, or bleach.
Dusting: Regularly dust the curtains with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner on a low suction setting with an upholstery attachment to keep them free of debris.
Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, consult a professional dry cleaner as soon as possible. Avoid attempting to spot clean yourself to prevent damage to the fabric or embroidery.
