Description
With their rich velvet fabric and classic pencil pleats, these curtains will add a luxurious touch to your home. They have a lined finish which reduces light and ensures total privacy. These curtains are also temperature smart, which means their thermal lining will help keep your room cool during the summer and warm during the winter. Ultra Warmth Heat Rating: These curtains have been given our Ultra Warmth rating which means that this fabric is proven to show enhanced thermal performance helping you keep warm on the chilliest days.
Our Stylist Says
I really like these M&S velvet curtains for adding a touch of luxe to a room without feeling overly formal. The mid blue shade is versatile, working well in both neutral and more colourful schemes, and the pencil pleat style offers flexibility in hanging options. They’re ideal for creating a cosy yet sophisticated atmosphere in living rooms or bedrooms. When styling, consider pairing them with pared-back, modern furniture to let the velvet’s texture and colour shine, or add metallic accents for a bit of glamour. Practical tips include lining them for better insulation and light control, and hanging slightly wider and higher than the window frame to enhance the sense of space and height.

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.
