Tie Pocket
There are many types of curtains and drapes. They come in different kinds of fabric, sizes and styles. The most common styles are tabbed, pole pocket, grommet, pinch-pleat, tie-top and swags.
Tabbed curtains have "tabs" on the top. They are usually rectangular shaped and hang on the rod. The size of rod needed depends on the size of the tabs. They are easy to hang on rods because rings or clips are not needed.
Another easy curtain to hang is pole pocket curtains. Like the tabbed style, rings and clips are not needed. The rod goes through the "pole pocket." Also like the tabbed style, the size of rod depends on the inside diameter of the pocket. Use a rod with a smaller diameter than the pocket, so the curtains can move along the rod.
Grommet drapes have gained popularity lately. Grommets are usually round, metal or plastic rings that are sewn into the drapes. The drapery rod is threaded through the grommets. They provide a very clean look. Chose your drapery rod at least one-half inch smaller than the inside diameter of the grommets to ensure easy movement of the drapes.
The pinch-pleated style have pleats along the top of the curtains. They gather nicely along the rod. Pleated style need rings to hang on a rod. Rings with eyelets can be sewn directly to the pleats on the back of the fabric or attach to pincer clips which "pinch" onto the fabric. Another option is to use clips that are sewn or otherwise attached to the back of the pleats and go through the ring eyelets.
Another type of curtain is the tie-top. The top of the fabric has several ties that "tie" around the rod. They can be knotted or tied in bows.
Swag curtains are pieces of fabric that hang over and around the rod. There are many ways to "swag" the curtains over the rod. They can be used with other types of curtains since swags usually hang over the top of the rod. Almost any size rod will work with swags.
