Eyelet curtains (also known as chrome ring top curtains) come with metal holes at the top of curtain heading which make them easy to hang. Also metal rings are able to withstand lined curtain or heavy fabric like velvet easily.
Pinch-pleated curtains also known as
French-pleat curtains are traditional drapes with three equal pleats pinched
together to form a bigger pleat at the top. These pleats add volume and
fullness to the drapes. You can use any type of fabric for this type; however
stitching these curtains may require more material due to more number of pleats.
Classic tab curtains or tab
top curtains are hung from the equally spaced tabs or flat loops created with
the same fabric as the drape and suits all types of fabrics. While buying the
fabric, always remember to buy a bit extra for creating the loops. These are
ideal for any casual setting.
Flat Panel Curtains are probably
simplest to stitch by boarding the fabric for all the four hems. It has a slot
created on the top which is open on both ends for the clip- on rings to go
through and you can simple hang them on the rod.
Inverted pleat curtains, as the
name suggests, have the pleats on the backside, hidden behind the flat front.
They give a gender neutral feel and are very contemporary in style.
Ripple fold curtains have equally
spaced holders which make the fabric form smooth curves. It gives a clean look
from both sides of the window. However, it is not ideal for areas where you
want complete blackout because there is little space left from where the
outside light comes in.
