Grommet Curtains

Grommet curtains have metal rings punched into the fabric along the top edge. The metal rings allow the curtains to easily slide along the curtain rod and creates a clean contemporary look.

Where to Use Grommet Drapes?

Sometimes grommet curtains are also called grommet drapes, grommet panels or ringed panels. They are a great option for making windows appear larger in bedrooms or covering sliding glass doors.

Styling Grommet Panels

A challenge in styling grommet drapes is consistently maintaining a uniformed full look. Achieving a neatly pleated full look can be budget friendly or splurge-worthy.

Designer Styling Tip

Interior designers opt for the budget friendly solution to stretch the budget. An easy solution that involves paper towel rolls, a pair of scissors and measuring tape.

Fix Flat Thin Draperies

When grommet curtains are pulled back they can look skimpy and appear to be an insufficient window covering. 

DIY Curtain Spacers

Using paper towel rolls to make curtain spacers provide volume to the drapes and also enhances the shape of the panels.

Curtain Spacer Length

Cut paper towel rolls into sections measuring 4”. Once completed, you’ve now created curtain spacers. Four (4) curtain spacers are needed per curtain panel.

Placement of Spacers

Place a curtain spacer in the back of the grommet drapes between each pleat. Masking the visibility of the spacers from the front of the drapes.

Double Panel Width

Placing a 4″ spacer in between each pleat will double the width of the panel. The spacers can always be cut and adjusted to size according to the surrounding area available and your desired look.

Stylish Grommet Curtains

Notice how the grommet curtains have wider beautiful folds and a more contemporary stylish look. The difference is very noticeable and compliments the pewter curtain rod and finials.

Time Saver

If time doesn’t permit making DIY spacers… curtain spacers can be purchased to obtain the same designer look in less time.
