Fabric suitability for wave curtains
Plain fabrics and fabrics with subtle patterns are a popular choice for wave curtains as they complement the modern, simple look of the wave heading style. However that isn’t to say you can’t have a pattern! Click here to shop our wide range of fabrics that are suitable for wave curtains: thehomeofinter...
Sheers / voiles are also popular to provide privacy without blocking out the light. Semi-sheers offer increased privacy to a sheer / voile fabric yet still deliver a light, airy feel. Layering is also a popular option with a wave voile on the back track and a standard lined or blackout lined wave curtain on the front track. Please see our Voile / Sheer blog post for inspiration: thehomeofinter...
Some fabrics do however hold the wave shape better than others. We would always recommend a fabric swatch is ordered prior to ordering your curtains. Upon delivery of the swatch it is advisable to do the ‘fold’ test as shown on the video to check the fabric suitability for the wave style. If you aren’t sure, for a small charge, we can arrange for a larger swatch to be sent out which will be refundable upon return of the fabric sample. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss any specific fabrics in more detail.
Wide width fabrics are ideal for wave curtains. As long as your curtain drop is less than the width of the fabric (which is typically 280cm - 315cm on a wide width fabric) the wave curtains can be made up without any joins in them delivering a seamless curtain that drapes beautifully. This really delivers a polished look.
