Two-Finger Pinch Pleat Drapes
A classic look, the two-finger pinch pleat connects two pleats together, three to four inches from the drape's top. This creates a more formal drapery style, while minimizing the bulk.
Butterfly Pleat Drapes
A traditional design that lends a sophisticated touch to any room —butterfly pleats are an updated softer variation of the pinch pleat. The created look is similar to that of a butterfly's wings.
French Pleat Drapes
Formal and fine-lined, this is an elegant and clean-looking style. Pleats are tacked at the top of the fabric rather than at its bottom.
Three-Finger Pinch Pleat Drapes
In this custom drape style, three pleats are pinched together three or four inches from the top of the drape, creating a simple fan. This look is more voluminous than the two-finger pinch pleat.
Four-Finger Pinch Pleat Drapes
The most voluminous of pinch-pleat drape styles, the four-finger pinch pleats include four folds sewn together three or four inches from the top of the drape. This look creates more volume and depth than both the 2- and 3- finger pinch pleat drapery styles.
Goblet Pleat Drapes
Goblet pleats add a boost of formality, particularly when complemented by architectural hardware. Each pleat is stuffed to create the rounded and hollow look of a goblet.
Cartridge Pleat Drapes
This pleating style is tailored and sculptural with smooth, unbroken folds. The look is stylish, clean, and upscale. They are an eye-catching alternative to standard pinch pleated drapes.
Inverted Pleat Drapes
Inverted pleats position the fullness of the pleat on the drape's back, creating a flat drapery face. The look is sleek, modern and nicely suited for contemporary interior design.
