When to choose single, double, or triple pleat curtains

Single pleat curtains

A modern look and economical choice, single pleat curtains are the most simplistic options. But that doesn't mean they're boring! Single pleat can be a great choice for fabrics with a big bold pattern as the pattern won't be broken up as much. They are also wonderful in small spaces where you don't want too much extra fabric that can end up feeling bulky and in the way in small rooms.

Double pleat curtains

The double pleat creates a more elegant feel with a fuller drape. It uses a bit more fabric to create the extra pleats but is still an economical option.

Triple pleat curtains

Also known as the French pleat, this is a more traditional heading style that creates an opulent look. Often used in villas or more formal environments, it requires the most fabric of the three options.

More isn't always better

Keep in mind, the more fabric required, the more your new curtains will cost. And don't forget to consider your space as well. The more pleats in your heading style, the more space you'll need on the sides of your windows to stack the curtains when they're open.
