Featuring a luxurious soft-touch velvet finish and a sophisticated geometric pattern, these curtains are perfect for living rooms or bedrooms where both style and heat retention are priorities.

FAQs
Are these curtains blackout?
They are thermal lined, which significantly reduces light infiltration, though they are not marketed as total blackout curtains.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
Yes, they are machine washable, but please check the specific care instructions on the product tag for temperature settings.
Are curtain hooks included?
No, you will need to purchase standard curtain hooks separately to attach the tape to your rod or track.
How do I deal with the extra string after gathering?
After gathering the pleats to your desired width, tie the strings into a loose knot and tuck them neatly behind the header tape.
Do these curtains help with noise reduction?
The thick velvet fabric and thermal lining do offer some sound-dampening qualities, helping to soften external noise.
Troubleshooting
Curtains do not look uniform after hanging.
Ensure the drawstrings are pulled evenly across the entire width of the header tape and that the curtain hooks are placed at consistent intervals.
Curtains appear wrinkled.
Use a garment steamer from a safe distance to gently release wrinkles. Do not iron directly on the velvet surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To hang, first determine your track or pole width. Pull the drawstrings on the back of the pencil pleat header to gather the curtain fabric until it matches the width of your window. Once gathered, tie the cords off securely—do not cut them, as you may need to adjust them if you move the curtains to a different window later. Use curtain hooks (not included) to attach the tape to your rail or pole rings.
Compatibility: These curtains are compatible with standard curtain tracks and poles with rings.
Care: To keep the velvet looking pristine, machine wash on a gentle cycle as per the care label. Avoid heavy scrubbing. To remove any wrinkles from shipping, a light steam from a distance can help the velvet pile stand up again, giving the curtains a full, refreshed appearance.
