Pinch pleat
Double and triple pinch pleat curtains are a sophisticated choice for those seeking a more formal and luxurious look for their windows. These heading styles are crafted by pinching the fabric at regular intervals to create evenly spaced, deep pleats that hang gracefully. The difference between the two lies in the number of pleats: double pinch pleat curtains have two folds at each pinch, while triple pinch pleat curtains feature three. Both options deliver a clean, structured appearance, adding depth and texture to your space.
These pleated curtains are perfect for creating a tailored, high-end look, making them ideal for formal settings like dining rooms or master bedrooms, but they can also bring a touch of elegance to more casual spaces.
