With their crisp vertical stripes, these Tiverton curtains from Laura Ashley are a striking choice. They're cut from pure cotton fabric for a premium look, with a lining for extra warmth. The header is made in a contemporary eyelet style.
Our Stylist Says
I love these curtains for their classic yet fresh look - the blue mix stripes add a touch of coastal charm while keeping things versatile. They work particularly well in casual or country-style interiors, but can also brighten up more contemporary spaces with the right complementary accessories. When styling, consider pairing with neutral walls and simple furniture to let the pattern stand out, or add some matching cushions or accessories in similar blue tones for a pulled-together look. Practical tips include hanging them with a substantial curtain pole to emphasise their eyelet top detail, and ensuring they’re lined if you want to maximise light control and privacy. Overall, a practical and stylish choice for adding pattern and colour to your room.

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.
