The smart homeowner’s guide to different types of custom curtains
Choosing custom curtains isn’t just about fabric, it’s about how your curtains will fall, move, and feel in your space. From soft, flowing sheers to fully lined blackout curtains in Ballito, the Dolphin Coast and South Africa.
Here’s a breakdown of the most popular styles and curtain types we offer!
Wave curtains
Minimal, uniform folds that glide smoothly across a track. Wave curtains are perfect for a clean, contemporary look with an uninterrupted flow from floor to ceiling, ideal for modern coastal interiors.
Best for: contemporary lounges, bedrooms and open-plan spaces.
Pencil pleat curtains
Classic, evenly gathered folds that create a soft, traditional feel. The heading tape adjusts easily to fit most tracks or rods, making them a versatile choice for almost any room.
Best for: living rooms, guest rooms, or paired with sheers.
Pinch pleat curtains
Tailored pleats hand-sewn in groups for a structured, elegant drape. They hold their shape well and pair beautifully with heavier fabrics and formal, layered interiors.
Best for: formal lounges, dining rooms and main bedrooms.
Eyelet curtains
Metal-ringed curtains that slide directly onto a rod for a relaxed, modern look. Quick to hang and easy to open, with large, uniform folds that add gentle drama.
Best for: casual spaces, modern bedrooms and rentals.
Blackout curtains
Densely lined blackout fabric that blocks light for deeper sleep and complete privacy. The extra lining adds insulation against coastal heat and glare, keeping rooms cooler and quieter.
Best for: bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms.
