Curtain Heading Types Explained: A Guide To Style Your Curtain

Curtains are an essential part of any home décor. They not only add style and elegance to your interiors but also provide privacy and block out light. However, the right curtain heading can make a significant difference in the overall look and feel of your curtains. We think this style should be carried over into your care facility.

With so many different types of curtain headings available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one for your curtains. In this guide, we will explain the different types of curtain headings, their features, and their suitability for different types of curtains.

Pencil Pleat Heading

Pencil pleat heading is the most traditional and common type of heading. It consists of tightly gathered folds that resemble a row of pencils. This type of heading works well with all types of curtains, from lightweight to heavy fabrics. It is suitable for both formal and casual settings, making it a versatile choice.

Eyelet Heading

Eyelet heading features metal rings that are inserted into the fabric of the curtain. This type of heading is ideal for modern and contemporary interiors. It provides a clean and minimalist look and works well with lightweight fabrics. However, it is not suitable for heavy fabrics as the metal rings can become weighed down and cause the curtain to sag.

Tab Top Heading

Tab top heading is a casual and relaxed style of heading that features fabric loops at the top of the curtain. The fabric loops slide over the curtain rod, creating a gathered effect. This type of heading is suitable for lightweight to medium-weight fabrics and works well with casual and country-style decor.

Pinch Pleat Heading

Pinch pleat heading features evenly spaced, stitched pleats that create a decorative effect. This type of heading is suitable for formal settings and heavy fabrics. It provides a tailored and elegant look to your curtains.

Grommet Heading

Grommet heading features large, metal grommets that are inserted into the fabric of the curtain. This type of heading is suitable for modern and contemporary interiors and works well with medium to heavy fabrics. It provides a clean and minimalist look and allows the curtain to slide smoothly along the rod.

Choosing the right curtain heading can enhance the look and feel of your curtains and complement your home decor. Consider the type of fabric, style of decor, and the desired level of formality when selecting a curtain heading. We hope this guide has provided useful information to help you choose the perfect curtain heading for your curtains.
