This time of year gets pretty busy for me as a designer. I am usually working on quite a few window treatment projects. Many times, clients don't really know what they want. There are so many different header pleats that the client can become confused when they are trying to figure out what they like.
Right now, drapery panels using the french pleat header is pretty popular. This look isn't quite as formal as the traditional double or triple pinch pleat. The french pleat shows emphasis towards the top of the pleat, allowing for a more relaxed look below the pleat. As a matter of fact, I have used this header on my last couple of drapery projects. On the front page of my website
www.poshinteriorsllc.com , I used the french pleat on a linen fabric.
Here are a few of the different header pleats. Take a peek, and let me know what's your favorite pleat?

ReplyDeleteI like the clean look of the grommet, but I also appreciate the sophisticated look of the triple pinch pleat. Nice!
