Product Summary
MINKY Chenille Custom Made Curtains in Chocolate are heavyweight, room-darkening curtains with a dense triple-weave construction — 420gsm, it's noticeably heavier and more substantial than a standard curtain fabric. Chocolate is a muted, milk-chocolate brown with a subtle dusty-rose undertone — think warm timber, brushed brass, natural linen and soft leather. It suits Warm Minimalist and Japandi interiors particularly well, where it brings a soft, gentle warmth to a room without feeling heavy or dark
Minky skips the foam or silicone backing altogether; the density of the weave alone delivers strong room-darkening, without any coating involved. The fabric colour matches on both sides, so passers-by see the same rich tone you enjoy from inside.
Choose a structured S-Fold for a sharp, tailored look, or a classic Pinch Pleat for something more traditional — Pinch Pleats can also be made longer for an elegant puddle at the floor.
Light Performance Note: Minky provides 90–95% blockout. As it is an uncoated woven fabric, it is not classified as 100% blockout.

Popular Curtain Styles
Minky Chenille works beautifully with both S-Fold and Pinch Pleat curtain styles. For a clean, contemporary look, choose S-Fold. The weight of the fabric creates even, structured folds and a lovely full finish. We recommend hanging S-Fold curtains just above the floor so the folds can fall cleanly and move freely.
For a more traditional look, choose Pinch Pleat. This classic heading suits Minky’s soft chenille texture and creates an elegant, tailored drape. Pinch Pleat curtains can also be ordered longer if you would like them to puddle softly on the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Minky Chocolate a blockout curtain?
Minky Chocolate provides 90–95% blockout, but it is not classified as a 100% blockout curtain. Its dense triple-weave construction provides excellent room darkening without a foam or silicone coating. This also means you get the same rich Chocolate colour on both sides of the curtain.
Is Minky Chocolate suitable for bedrooms and home cinemas?
Yes. Minky’s dense, heavyweight construction significantly reduces incoming light, making it a great option for bedrooms, home cinemas and media rooms. Some light may still enter around the edges of the curtain.
Is Minky Chocolate the same colour on both sides?
Yes. Minky Chocolate has the same woven colour on the front and reverse. It does not have a white foam-coated backing.
Can Minky Chocolate be made as an S-Fold curtain?
Yes. Minky’s heavyweight construction creates full, structured S-Fold curtains. We recommend hanging them just above the floor so the folds can sit neatly and move freely.
Is Minky Chocolate suitable for Pinch Pleat curtains?
Yes. Minky works beautifully with a Pinch Pleat heading, creating a full and tailored finish. You can also order your curtains longer if you would like them to puddle softly on the floor.
What colours work with Minky Chocolate?
Minky Chocolate pairs beautifully with dark timber, cognac leather, warm metals and natural stone. Its deep brown tone is particularly well suited to rich Modern Heritage and traditional interiors.
Is Minky Chocolate machine washable?
Yes. Remove all hooks and trims before cleaning, use a gentle cold machine wash and line dry in the shade.
