Curtain headings

Beyond your fabric’s colour and pattern, your curtain's "heading style’ (the way it gathers at the top and attaches to the rod or track) has a big impact in shaping the room's style. A bold pinch pleat adds drama, while a sleek wave evokes modern elegance. It's the finishing touch that elevates your curtains from functional to fabulous. Explore our diverse heading options and discover which style will reflect your unique style.
