Description
Our Arlo curtains add a bold splash of colour to your home, at an affordable price. Made from a polycotton fabric the mix of natural cotton and synthetic fibres gives them the benefit of being durable so they're able to withstand a busy household. The pencil pleat heading creates small, neat folds at the top of the curtain and the lining adds the perfect finish, improving the drape of the curtains. 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 117cm width curtains will fit a curtain track/pole size of 117-167cm One pair of 167cm width curtains will fit a curtain track/pole size of 133-167cm One pair of 228cm width curtains will fit a curtain track/pole size of 182-228cm Worth knowing... We package our curtains in recycled materials to keep them protected whilst they make their way to you. This means that when they arrive there could be some creases in them. We recommend you hang them for a few days to allow them to flatten and for the creases to fall out. If after this period your curtains still show signs of being folded then follow the ironing instructions on the back of the packaging. 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.

Our Stylist Says
These John Lewis curtains are a great way to introduce a splash of colour and a sense of warmth into a variety of interiors. I love how versatile they are; the lined, pencil pleat design not only provides better drape and insulation but also offers a classic, tailored look suitable for traditional or contemporary spaces. They work particularly well in kitchens, living rooms, or bedrooms where a bright, cheerful ambience is desired. To style them effectively, consider pairing with neutral or patterned cushions and throws to balance the vibrant yellow, or layer with sheers for a softer, more versatile window dressing. Their practical design makes them a stylish, functional choice for daily use.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
