Eyelet curtains are best suited for heavier fabrics, such as upholstery fabric or velour.
Eyelet Curtains
Eyelet curtains feature metal or wooden rings that are evenly spaced across the top of the curtain. This style is usually paired with a rod or pole rather than a curtain track. Because the eyelets are spaced evenly, your curtains will fall in gorgeous, natural folds. Eyelet curtains are best suited to heavier fabrics.
Goblet Pleat Curtains
Goblet pleat curtains get their name from the unique cup-like shape of their pleats. This type of curtain pleat is created by pinching fabric together in order to form a cone at the top. Goblet pleat curtains work best with longer curtains, and looks particularly impressive with floor-to-ceiling curtains. Goblet pleats are a grand, traditional style of curtain, and are perfect for adding a sense of opulence to the bedroom or lounge.
Inverted Pleats have clean lines for a sleek, modern look.
Inverted Pleat Curtains
If you’re looking to create a sleek and modern look in your home, inverted pleat curtains could be the choice for you. Inverted pleat curtains feature pleats at the back, creating a solid wall of fabric. Inverted pleats are also known as box pleats, named for their clean lines. This style of curtain is perfect in any room of the home. With the right fabric choice, inverted pleat curtains can be as bold or subdued as you like.
Pencil Pleat Curtains
Pencil pleat curtains are one of the most popular styles of curtains and are suitable for a range of fabrics and lengths. Pencil pleats are formed by gathering tape at the top of the curtains, forming deep pleats. This style of curtain suits both contemporary and traditional interiors.
Twin pleats are a versatlie option for any room.
Twin Pleat Curtains
Twin pleat curtains are also known as Dutch pleat curtains. They can be hung from any curtain track using hooks or from a curtain rod using rings with hooks. Twin pleat curtains provide a very tailored look. They are very full and luxurious.
Colours and Patterns
Whether you’re after curtains that blend into your home’s existing decor, or ones that add a pop of colour, there are a huge range of options available. Bright and bold curtains are perfect for the lounge, while a more muted colour palette is recommended for bedrooms. Some fabrics are better suited to specific curtain pleat styles. For example, curtains with a repeating pattern may not work well with goblet pleats, as the pattern may not line up.
