How to Maintain a Formal Look with Wave Curtains: Elegant Fabrics and Symmetrical Styling

 Wave Curtains are a great way to block out unwanted noise, light and help you get a better night's sleep. They also offer a sleek, minimal look and are ideal when space is at a premium as they fold cleanly when open. This makes them a great solution for small rooms and windows where there's not much wall space on either side.

 

Modern and traditional interiors

Wave curtains have a minimalist style and look great in both modern and traditional interiors. They can also provide a soft, free-flowing feel to room dividers and curtains in commercial spaces as well as a stylish alternative to standard window dressings.

Excellent choice for fabrics

They’re an excellent choice for fabrics with a repeating pattern as they fall in evenly and uniformly in ‘waves’, meaning that the pattern will be displayed to its best effect. The gentle wavy curves also work well with sheer fabrics and semi-sheers, providing a delicate drape that enhances the fabric’s natural beauty. They’re also an ideal option for people who struggle with light or sound sensitivity, as they block out light and noise without making any noticeable movement when closed.

Our made-to-measure Wave Curtains are made to your exact measurements, by hand in our workshop here in Yorkshire. Once you’ve found a fabric which works for your home, simply enter your dimensions and select 'wave pleat' from the heading menu. Then all you need to do is choose your lining and tieback options to complete your order. Our Wave Curtains arrive with all the requisite fitting instructions and components, ready to hang straight away.

wave curtain requires careful measuring

Getting the right look with a Wave Curtains requires careful measuring and precision to achieve a seamless finish. This is because the wave tape is designed with perfectly spaced pockets which the hooks are carried through. The number of ‘empty’ pockets you leave between each hook will affect the depth of the wave and the overall look of your curtains. You can work out how many pockets to leave using the Silent Gliss sizing calculator here.
