The Top 3 Header Styles for Custom Drapes

There are a variety of ways to finish the top of your custom drapes. In Fort Myers, three of the most popular custom drapery header styles are pinch pleat drapes, grommet style curtains and ripple fold drapery. If you’ve seen a look you love, we can help you bring your vision to life!

Pinch Pleat Curtains

Pinch pleats feature flat folds of fabric “pinched” together at the top and sewn. They can be sewn in multiple folds to create a custom look. The drapes are then attached to the rod using curtain rings and clips, or hooks.

Metal Grommets

Grommets are affixed in a row along the top of the curtains, in the same metal finish as the rod. The drapery rod is woven through the metal grommets so they can slide open and closed. Capable of styling a wide range of spaces, from formal to casual, grommet style curtains are well-known.

Ripple Fold Drapery

Ripple fold features rounded curves along the top of the drapes. They attach to a specialty track and easily traverse sideways. These custom curtains look similar to our collection of Hunter Douglas Luminettes.

Layering Drapes

The look of layering drapery with a different type of window covering is a dynamic statement. The base layer of Hunter Douglas window treatments could include blinds, shades or shutters, often chosen to provide light control, privacy and energy efficiency. The draperies are selected to coordinate with the look, either as stationary side panels or full drapes that open and close. There can be challenges associated with layering window treatments successfully:

• Pairing the right patterns, colors and textures together
• Choosing the right base layer for your specific window issues
• Installation of both layers so everything functions properly

It’s a good idea to have the professionals help with this process. We can help you pair drapery with roman shades, roller shades, woven shades, and more! Our team makes the whole experience fun and stress-free with a beautiful result.

Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation is available for operating custom drapery with ease. Adjustments can be made using a remote, mobile app, or voice commands when integrated with your smart home system.

Additional benefits include enhanced light control, improved privacy, and increased energy efficiency when you motorize your custom drapery—especially when covering floor-to-ceiling and hard-to-reach windows.
