Description
Inpsired by the buzzing bees around Sophie's country garden, these curtains are subtly playful. The popular motif is printed onto a soft cotton ground against muted tones. The blackout lining eliminates light and lends a full look to the curtains, improving the drape. Warm in winter, cool in summer As the blackout lining on these curtains blocks out sunlight they help keep your room cool as well as dark. This lining also adds an extra layer of insulation to the curtains, giving them the added benefit of being thermal. They protect against both heat loss and heat gain, regulating the temperature of your room so you’re kept warm in winter and cool in summer. 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 168cm width curtains will fit a curtain track/pole size 133-168cm One pair of 229cm width curtains will fit a curtain track/pole size 183-229cm Do you need a curtain pole and accessories?
Our Stylist Says
These bee-themed curtains are a charming choice that add a touch of whimsy and warmth to a variety of interiors. They work particularly well in country-style or cottage-inspired rooms, but their neutral black and cream palette also makes them versatile enough for more contemporary schemes. The blackout lining is a practical feature, making them ideal for bedrooms or spaces where you need to control light. For styling, consider pairing them with wooden or brass curtain poles and keeping other accessories in soft, natural tones to enhance the cosy feel. They’re a lovely way to bring a bit of personality to your windows without overwhelming the space.

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.
