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 looks are pinch pleat drapes, grommet style curtains and ripplefold drapery. If you’ve seen a look you love, we can help you bring your vision to life!
- Pinch Pleat Curtains 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 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.
- Ripplefold Drapery 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 blinds, shades or shutters is 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 this statement:
- 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 make the whole experience fun and stress-free with a beautiful result.
