Eyelet vs Pinch Pleats vs Wave Fold: Which Curtain Heading Fits Your Room?

The Heading Style Defines the Architecture of Your Drapes

The heading is the top tailored finish that connects your fabric to the track or pole. Here is how each style performs in modern interior architecture:

1. Eyelet (Ring Top)

Metal eyelet rings punched through the top header. Clean, modern, and effortless to slide open. Best suited for poles up to 35mm diameter in master bedrooms and TV lounges.

2. Double Pinch Pleat

Double fabric folds hand-sewn together at regular intervals. Offers balanced, structured symmetry that works exceptionally well with heavyweight textured jacquard and deep velvet.

3. Triple French Pinch Pleat

Three crisp folds pinched at the base. The ultimate symbol of heritage formal luxury, popular in traditional formal drawing rooms and classical villas.

4. Wave Fold (S-Fold)

Curtains drape in smooth, continuous S-curve ripples along hidden gliders. Extremely popular in Scandinavian and high-end penthouse interior design.
