Price History
Description
Designed by William Morris in 1876, Pimpernel is one of Morris' greatest designs. The mirrored symmetry and curling stems circling wind-swept flowers create a flamboyant floral pattern that will bring an eye-catching accent to your room. The particular lining used on these curtains is a wadded lining, which is shown to help insulate your home. It allows some sunlight through so isn't fully blackout but it does have thermal properties that will help keep your room cosy in winter. It also helps improve the drape of the curtains, enhancing the vibrancy of the pattern. The width stated indicates the size of one curtain panel when laid completely flat. This pack contains two panels and the track/pole length we've recommended allows for the two panels to be gathered when the curtains are drawn. For a fuller look, increase the curtain width. One pair of 117cm width curtains will fit a curtain track/pole size 117-167cm One pair of 167cm width curtains will fit a curtain track/pole size 133-167cm One pair of 228cm width curtains will fit a curtain track/pole size 182-228cm Do you need a curtain pole and accessories?

Our Stylist Says
I love this pair of Pimpernel curtains for their classic floral pattern and versatile colour palette, making them suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors. The thermal lining adds practical benefits, such as improved insulation and light blocking, making them ideal for bedrooms or living rooms where comfort and energy efficiency are priorities. When styling, these curtains work beautifully with neutral or muted wall colours to allow the floral print to stand out, and they pair well with wooden or vintage furnishings for a cozy yet elegant look. For a modern twist, you might consider pairing them with a sleek, minimalist curtain rod or keeping the window treatments simple to let the pattern be the focal point.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
