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
These M&S Collection brushed pencil pleat blackout curtains are a great all-rounder, blending functionality with subtle style. I love the varied colour options-olive, bronze, and grey-making them versatile for different colour palettes and interior styles. The brushed finish adds a soft, tactile layer that works well in cosy, traditional, or even contemporary spaces where a touch of texture is welcome. They’re particularly suited to bedrooms or living rooms where blackout and thermal qualities are a priority, helping with insulation and light control. For styling tips, pair them with neutral or natural-toned furnishings for a polished look, or contrast with bolder accessories to create a more eclectic vibe. They’re adaptable enough to sit beautifully in both classic and modern interiors without overwhelming the space.

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.
