With their room-darkening lining, the Audley curtains from MADE help you sleep just that little bit longer at night. They have a soft velour texture and a contrast edge which gives a rich, premium look. A hidden tab top makes for seamless hanging.
Our Stylist Says
These Audley velour curtains in dark blue are a great choice for adding a touch of luxe to a variety of interiors. I love their rich colour and soft texture, which bring warmth and elegance to both contemporary and traditional spaces. They're particularly well-suited to cosy living rooms or bedrooms where you want to create a plush, inviting feel. Practical styling tips include pairing them with lighter, neutral walls and simple, modern curtain poles to let the fabric and colour stand out. Additionally, their eyelet design makes them easy to draw open and close, while the velour fabric offers good insulation and light blocking-ideal for enhancing comfort and privacy.

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.
