In ancient Rome, woven shades like these were a symbol of luxury and wealth. Today they are a practical, functional choice. When raised, they fold into beautiful deep pleats. They are usually operated by a chain or an electric motor.
Originally, drapes (portières) were heavy panels of fabric hung across doorways. Today they mostly dress windows. They are often lined with a contrasting or matching companion fabric. Each panel must be wide enough to cover the whole window, and the width also includes a fullness factor of 1.5–2.5× the opening for beautiful folds.
These curtains hang on a standard rod or round pole of any material, using a specially sewn pocket.
Tab-top curtains are versatile and easy to live with. They look lovely in children's rooms, for example: simple, yet stylish. Usually they are straight panels with sewn-on tabs fastened with hook-and-loop tape on the back.
A row of holes is cut along the top of the fabric and fitted with grommet rings, and the rod slides through them. It is a highly ergonomic, practical and functional solution.
A London shade is a soft fabric shade with two inverted pleats. When raised, the center swoops into a gentle curve while the sides fall in loose tails. It suits bay windows and rooms with a classic, relaxed feel.
Austrian shades gather into rows of soft scallops as they rise and hang flat like a curtain when lowered. Made in light, flowing fabrics, they bring a romantic, formal note to living rooms and bedrooms.
French, or festoon, shades stay gathered into rich scalloped folds along their whole length, even when fully lowered. They are usually sewn from sheer or silky fabrics and are a classic choice for formal interiors.
A valance is a decorative band of fabric across the top of the window. It hides the rod and hardware, finishes the composition and can be straight and tailored or softly draped in swags.
Flat fabric panels that slide along a multi-track rail, like screens. They suit large windows and sliding doors, can divide a room into zones, and bring a calm, minimalist look.
