Description
Add the finishing touch to your space with these curtains. The fabric is brushed for extra body and a beautiful drape and has pencil pleats for a smart look. A blackout finish ensures total privacy, making them a great choice for street-facing rooms or bedrooms. Not only that but these curtains are temperature smart, so their thermal lining helps keep the heat in during the winter and out during the 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 love these M&S brushed pencil pleat blackout curtains in olive for their practicality and timeless appeal. The thermal lining makes them a great choice for maintaining warmth and reducing noise, while the blackout feature ensures they're perfect for light-sensitive spaces, such as bedrooms or home theatres. The pencil pleat design offers versatility, allowing you to create a tailored or relaxed look depending on how you gather the fabric. They work especially well in contemporary or neutral interiors, but the olive tone can also add a subtle touch of colour to more muted palettes. For styling tips, consider pairing with minimalist or Scandinavian decor, and use a simple curtain track or tiebacks to keep the look clean and functional.

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.
