Parisian Pleat

These panels come with standard drapery pins that create three-finger pleats tacked at the top of the pleat. Parisian pleats are usually pinched 1 1/2" from the top. Choose this style if you love classic sophistication.

X Pleat

This style features pleats bar tacked to create an X shape with two-finger pleats.

Pinch Pleat

Another classic look that lies beautifully whether your drapes are open or closed. If you want a bold pattern, choosing a pinch pleat style can help make it a bold choice more traditional.

Single Pleat

This drape design features single-finger pleats sewn into the header that allows the fabric to drape in a uniform style. This style is sometimes referred to as a “New York Pleat” and works well with minimalist designs or windows that fall on the small side.

Wave Drapery

This drapery style never loses its perfect shape. When your drapes are fully open, the (wave) shaped folds stack neatly against each other. While closed, they maintain just the right spacing. This is the style to choose if you want a chic, modern look from your custom drapes.

Tie Top

Embrace a casual style with tie top curtains that feature shoe-string ties that secure the curtain to the rod. This is an excellent choice if you embrace farmhouse style and want to keep things more laid back.

Grommet

When you think of modern curtains, you probably picture grommet curtains. These are hung from a curtain rod with grommet rings. Featuring deep folds this drapery style is perfect if you love drama.

Rod Pocket

This style features gathered fabric at the top of each panel. This is a style best chosen if you want your blinds open the majority of the time, as they can be cumbersome to move back and forth.
