Description
These brushed pencil pleat curtains combine style and practicality with their blackout thermal properties. The brushed polyester fabric gives them extra body and creates a beautiful drape, while the pencil pleat design ensures a smart, tailored appearance. Temperature-smart technology helps maintain comfortable room temperatures year-round, keeping heat in during winter and out in summer. Maximum Warmth Heat Rating: These curtains have been given our Maximum Warmth heat rating which means that this fabric is proven to show thermal performance helping you keep you warm when the weather gets chilly.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the M&S brushed pencil pleat curtains in blush because they offer both style and function. The blackout and thermal qualities make them perfect for keeping rooms cosy and blocking out light, which is ideal for bedrooms. The soft blush shade adds a gentle touch of colour that works well in neutral or pastel interiors, especially in modern, Scandinavian, or even traditional spaces that could benefit from a subtle hue. For styling tips, hang them on a sleek pole with mid-height or full-length curtains to create a tailored look, and consider pairing with minimalistic or metallic accessories to keep the overall aesthetic clean and elegant. They are versatile enough to work in various schemes, adding a cosy yet polished finish to the 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.
