Pinch Pleat (Tailored Pleat) Curtains
If you’re going for a style that’s traditional or formal, pleated curtains are your best bet. These curtains are typically made with thicker and heavier fabrics.
There are multiple options available when it comes to pleated curtains, but Pinch Pleat is one of the most popular style out there. The pleats are stitched and pinched at the top, allowing the folds of the fabric to flow below and create an elegant, formal look.
The range of Pinch Pleat curtains vary from two-finger pleats to five-finger pleats. Having more pleats will give the curtains a fuller appearance. Three-finger pleats are the most common type of pinch pleat curtains.
This curtains looks best in master bedrooms, sitting rooms or entertaining rooms.
Eyelet (Grommet) Curtains
Majority of households out there use Eyelet hanging style for their curtains. It is due to the fact that this curtains looks modern on the one side and provide maximum functionality on the other side.
Open rings (or grommets) are used to support the curtains. The rings allow you to open or close the curtains endless times without any inconvenience. They are excellent choice for bedrooms, living rooms and all other rooms in your home.
It’s important to note that your curtain hardware will be visible through the grommets, so be sure to use curtain rods and finials that are aesthetically pleasing to your eye.
Goblet Pleat Curtains
Goblet pleat curtains are ideal for large, formal rooms with high ceilings. They get their name from the resemblance to goblet or a wine glass.
Due to the delicate structure of the pleats, this curtain style should remain stationary and can only be used to frame and decorate the window. They’re not a good option for curtains that get a lot of use.
Pencil Pleat Curtains
Pencil pleat curtains have thinner, single pleats that make it easier to work with various curtain hooks or rods.
Pencil pleat curtains are more casual than goblet or box pleat curtains. They’re perfect for bedrooms or living rooms that don’t require as much formality.
Box Pleat Curtains
Box pleat curtains are suitable for dining rooms, lounges or bedrooms. The folds run deep and uninterrupted across the entire length of fabric, providing full coverage with a tailored appearance.
Rod Pockets (Cased Heading) Curtains
Rod-pocket curtains are typically made of lightweight or sheer fabrics and are a lot more casual in style. These curtains are also easy to assemble: Just slip the curtain rod through the “pocket” in the fabric and you’re good to go!
Rod-pocket curtains pair well with a second layer, such as a blackout curtain. And, keep in mind that these panels are generally compatible with thinner, tighter-fit curtain rods. Therefore, they’re best for casual decoration, so it’s best not to open or close them frequently.
Tab-Top Curtains
Like eyelet curtains and rod-pocket curtains, tab-top curtains are also easy to set up. Tab-top curtains have prominent loops that hang from the top seam of the panels and are used to support the curtain rod.
Notice that the curtain panels hang lower (below the loops) making this style ideal for printed or patterned fabrics. That’s why you’ll find tab-top curtains are an attractive accent in farmhouse or cottage home décor.
Curtain Rings
Using curtain rings is also a popular choice. Curtains are attached to rings using small curtain hooks, and those rings are then slipped onto the curtain rod. This is a practical and durable solution, and the curtains can easily be removed and replaced.
This method offers better functionality than many other styles and should be considered where curtains will be opened and closed multiple times a day.
