Pencil Pleat Curtains

Timeless Elegance with a Classic Finish

Pencil Pleat Curtains are a traditional and versatile choice, offering a neat, gathered look that suits both classic and modern interiors. The tightly packed pleats create a structured yet soft appearance, making them an ideal option for any space.

The name is derived from the curtain’s heading, which resembles a line of tightly-packed pencils. Pencil pleat curtains make a great match for more traditional interiors, but there’s no reason they can’t complement more contemporary style homes, too.

Traditional & Modern Homes – A perfect blend of classic style and adaptability.

Living Rooms – Provides a full, elegant drape for added sophistication.

    Choosing the Right Lining & Tracks for Pencil Pleat Curtains

    Pencil Pleat Curtains offer versatile styling options with the added benefits of insulation or blackout with the correct linings, or opt for a sheer and elegant look with standard lining or sheer fabric.

    Whether you prefer the clean lines of a Curtain pole or the smooth operation of a track, Pencil Pleat Curtains are compatible with both, giving you the flexibility to suit your space and needs.

    These curtains can be hung on Poles or Tracks made from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, or wood.

    Adjusting the heading tape allows you to create a more defined ‘ruff’ at the top of the curtain, adding texture and depth to the design.

    With a wide range of colours and materials available, pencil pleat curtains offer endless possibilities to complement any décor style.
