Which Pleat Style to Choose for your Curtains?
Inverted Pleat
Sleek, crisp, and contemporary, this flat heading folds fabric inwards, with the pleat at the back to provide a flat, minimalist look. Ideal in modern spaces and where wall space for stack back may be an issue as only requires fullness of approx. 1.8m/metre).
Soho Pleat
A popular, elegant style, originally created by Lahood. The Soho pleat is similar to an inverted pleat however retains a softer, fuller rounded look when closed due to the restriction chain on the reverse of the pleats.
Wave Pleat
Modern and minimalist, this sleek option creates soft, cascading waves instead of defined pleats. Works well where an uninterrupted pattern desired and on lighter fabrics such as linen and good for sheers. Particularly suit modern apartments and minimalist homes with large expanses of glass such as sliding doors or floor to ceiling windows.
Eyelet
Simple and functional, metal eyelets are punched through the fabric allow for easy hanging on rods. Ideal for light to medium-weight fabrics and in living rather than sleeping spaces, it brings a casual, airy feel.
