Nothing creates softness and a feeling of warmth and coziness to a window like curtains. Curtains lined with an insulated lining dramatically help reduce heat loss in the home.
The top of the curtain, commonly called the 'heading' can be pinch-pleated, gathered or a variety of decorative finishes such as goblet pleats.
Side drapes are fixed curtains, which don't open, or close and help to frame a window and are purely decorative.
Curtains can be hung on a decorative timber rod and rings or a gold decorator rod or a track, which is hidden behind the curtain only being exposed when the curtains are opened, may be used.
