We're making it easier than ever to customize your cafe curtains for a look that’s totally unique to you. Pick your fabric, construction, length, and width for your perfect fit. Unsure what style you want? We broke down everything you need to know about the 6 construction options we offer for cafe curtains.

 

Pinch Pleat

Made with twice the amount of fabric, these panels offer a voluminous look. Triple pleats add an elegant, formal flare while their hooks make it easy to attach to curtain rings.

Tailored Pleat

A sleeker silhouette than our pinch pleat, which brings a subtle sophistication to any room. The evenly spaced out drapery hooks sewn on the back of the panel make it easy to attach curtain rings.

Ring Top

These panels are hung by attaching their built-in hooks to your curtain rings. Easy to use, these are great for spaces where you plan on opening and closing your cafe curtains every day.

Rod Pocket with Header

Primarily for decorative use, this style features a sewn-in pocket to accommodate hardware and a 1.5” fabric header that adds a touch of flare to a classic style. Our Cafe Curtain rod pocket is smaller than our standard Curtain rod pocket. We suggest a 3/8" or smaller rod to accommodate the sewn pocket; rod not included.

This classic curtain style offers a clean look with a 1.5” sewn-in pocket to accommodate hardware, perfect for adding a decorative touch to your space. Our Cafe Curtain rod pocket is smaller than our standard Curtain rod pocket. We suggest a 3/8" or smaller rod to accommodate the sewn pocket; rod not included.

Double Rod Pocket

Ideal for French doors and cabinets, these panels require two rods for installation. The sewn-in pockets and 1.5” header on both the top and bottom make this style practical and elevated. Our Cafe Curtain rod pocket is smaller than our standard Curtain rod pocket. We suggest a 3/8" or smaller rod to accommodate the sewn pocket; rod not included.

 

A Quick Note On Curtain Rings

Rod pocket, double rod pocket, and rod pocket with header construction do not require rings while ring top, pinch pleat, and tailored pleat do. See below for how many rings you need depending on your panel size.
