Heading Styles for Every Look
The heading—how your drapery attaches to the rod—defines its entire character:
Pinch Pleat: Classic elegance with tailored, hand-sewn pleats. Choose from two-finger, three-finger, or Euro pleats.
Ripplefold: Contemporary S-shaped waves for a sleek, uniform appearance. Ideal for modern spaces and large windows.
Grommet / Eyelet: Casual, modern look with metal rings that slide easily along the rod.
Rod Pocket: Traditional gathered style where the rod threads through a sewn pocket.
Inverted Pleat: Clean, tailored appearance with pleats folded inward for a streamlined look.
Our decorators will recommend the best heading style for your fabric weight and room aesthetic.
Sheer & Light-Filtering Drapes
Sheer drapery panels create an ethereal, romantic atmosphere while providing daytime privacy and UV protection.
Applications:
- Living rooms – Soften harsh sunlight while maintaining brightness
- Dining rooms – Create an elegant backdrop for entertaining
- Bedrooms – Layer over blackout shades for day/night flexibility
Sheer drapes work beautifully on their own or layered over roller shades, roman shades, or cellular shades for complete light control. This layered approach is a designer favourite—and our specialists can help you achieve the look.
Blackout & Room-Darkening Drapery
For bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms, blackout drapery provides maximum light control and improved sleep quality.
Options include:
- Blackout-lined drapery – Decorative fabric with blackout lining sewn in
- Interlining – Additional layer for superior insulation and drape
- Standalone blackout panels – Layer behind decorative sheers
Blackout drapery also provides excellent thermal insulation—keeping Ottawa's winter cold out and summer heat at bay. The added fabric mass also absorbs sound, creating a quieter, more peaceful environment.
