The Ultimate Curtain Guide

Stop guessing. We've made it visually simple to understand exactly what you need for the perfect room.

1. Choose Your Header Style

The top of the curtain defines how it hangs. This makes a massive difference in the final look and feel of your room.

Metal rings slide directly over the rod. Offers deep, clean, modern folds.

Tightly pinched folds for an ornate, highly structured, and formal appearance.

A sewn-in tunnel slides directly onto a rod. Casual, gathered look.

Gathered into tight, narrow folds resembling pencils. Very traditional.

Flat-panel attached to a track creating smooth 'S' curves. Ultra-premium.

Fabric loops sewn to the top. Best for rustic, informal spaces.

LIGHT CONTROL

Lightweight and translucent. They let in maximum daylight while offering daytime privacy.

The sweet spot. Diffuses harsh sunlight and adds privacy without making the room pitch dark.

Lined with heavy, opaque fabrics to block almost all incoming light. Ideal for bedrooms.

Ends just below the window sill. Great for windows with furniture or radiators immediately underneath.

Drapes perfectly to the floor. This gives a clean, elongated appearance to the room. The most popular choice.

Extends past the floor, leaving extra fabric to "puddle". Very formal, romantic, and dramatic.

For a full, luxurious gathered look, your total curtain fabric width should be double (2x) the width of your curtain rod.

Always hang your rod 4 to 6 inches above the window frame (or right at the ceiling). This makes your ceilings look much taller!
