Style Notes: Stylish, contemporary and unfussy, grommet curtains are a great choice for an up-to-date, minimalist look. Suitable for all fabrics and a popular choice for striped and symmetrical fabric patterns.

Grommet curtains have even number of eyelets regularly spaced across the width. Very easy to hang as the big eyelet rings slide straight on the drapery pole. The curtains hang in wide, loose folds, and stack back fully and neatly, so offer a good option if you have little space to the side of your window.

Grommet style heading may not be suitable for very wide curtains as they cannot run past the pole support brackets.

Please note all our drapery orders with grommets are stitched with stainless steel silver grommets with inner diameter of 1.5 inches. Other sizes and finishes are available on request. Please write to us at info@spiffyspools.com to enquire about options or send us a note once you've placed your order.

For a relaxed, laid back setting, this is a modern and less formal heading. Suitable for all fabrics but ideal for light curtains. Often used for unlined voiles or sheer curtains that are rarely opened or decorative drapes that are rarely closed as tab tops may not glide along the rod easily. A visually impactful style when used with traditional timber poles. A rod with decorative finials enhances this treatment. Back tab curtains can also be part of an elegant window dressing when used under a valance or pelmet.

Loops of fabric material are sewn at the back on top of the curtain at regular intervals. The curtains hang from these tabs hidden on the back by feeding the rod through the loops. When you slip the rod through the back tabs, the upper edge of the curtain covers the rod. This style gives a seamless look, top to bottom, that can fit any decor, from modern to traditional. When open, the tabs create pleats that have a nice drape, but aren’t too formal. Pinch Pleat Drapes

Like grommet tops, tab tops can't run past the pole support brackets, so may not be suitable as very wide curtains.
