Description
These Stephanie curtains from Laura Ashley make a harmonious addition to your room. They're made from woven fabric in a pencil pleat style that lends a refined feel. A blackout lining helps keep the light out and the warmth in.
Our Stylist Says
I love these Laura Ashley pencil pleat blackout curtains for their classic and versatile look, making them a great choice for a variety of interior styles-from traditional to contemporary. The natural colour adds warmth and sophistication, while the blackout lining is practical for creating a dark, cosy environment-ideal for bedrooms or media rooms. When styling, consider pairing them with other neutral or textured textiles like linen cushions or woven rugs to add depth. These curtains work particularly well in minimalist or scandi-inspired spaces due to their simple, clean appearance, and they’re easy to dress up or down with complementary accessories like curtain tiebacks or sheer voiles layered underneath for a softer look.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
