Pinch pleat, back tabs or rings: three ways to hang one curtain

Our faux linen blackout curtains are stitched to hang three ways. Here is how each one changes the room.

Natural faux linen curtains hung pinch pleated, on back tabs and on ring hooks

The header, the top few inches of a curtain, decides how the whole panel falls. Ours are stitched so the same pair can be hung three ways, and the choice is yours to change later.

Pinch pleat

Slip the included hooks into the pleat tape and hang them from rings or a track. The fabric gathers into crisp, evenly spaced folds that look tailored and formal, best in living and dining rooms.

Back tabs

Thread the rod through the hidden loops on the back. The front stays smooth at the top and the panel falls in deep, soft folds. Relaxed, and the easiest to put up.

Ring hooks

Clip rings onto the pleats and hang them from a decorative rod. The curtains glide easily, so this is the one for windows you open and close every day.
