Pinch pleat curtains are one of the most decorative headings you can add to curtains. Pinch pleat curtains elegantly draw fabric into a tightly gathered and stitched bunch at the head of your curtains, creating a neat yet stylish detail. The sewn-in pleats manifest a delicately stylish finish, creating elegant folds that gently flow throughout the body of the curtain. Pinch pleat curtains simply look beautiful whether paired with a quality pole or tracks.

Classic farmhouse design

Pinch pleat curtains offer a relaxed, comfortable look for curtains making them the ideal choice for classic farmhouse themed spaces. Deep comfy sofas with plenty of quality cushions in a space where there are heavy curtains to block out the light and the cold air are foundations of this trend, so look at weightier fabrics. Dark plaid curtains with pinch pleat headings are perfect for classic farmhouse spaces.

Mid-century millennial interior design

Mid-century millennial interior design features a lot of classic clean lines and exposed woodwork alongside a twist of industrial finishes and bold colours. Because there is already a lot going on, subtle details found in the movement of soft furnishings are of great value to this trend. Add these folds to your curtains with pinch pleat curtains to add a delicate sense of movement and quality into this dynamic and fashionable interior design trend.

Coastal inspired homes

Coastal inspired homes are associated with comfort and tranquillity over rigid formality and precision. Because of this relaxed energy, the soft waves in pinch pleat curtains are perfect for helping you to unwind whether you're by the seaside or miles inland. Moreover, the elegant folds mimic the soft waves we love to play in! For maximum effect, consider adding a pinch pleat heading to soft blue or white curtains.

The best accessories for pinch pleat curtains

Pinch pleat curtains look fashionable and will add an extra layer of style to your space, regardless of the interior design theme you've selected. While pinch pleat curtains can be fitted with a curtain track, you can also fit them with a curtain pole.

Curtain poles give you the freedom to add an extra detail to your decor. Whether you choose an antique brass pole with cage finial, or sleek matt black pole with a tear shaped finial, your decor will be instantly elevated and refined.

You can even partner your pinch pleat curtains with a matching piped or plain tie back. These give you an extra subtle touch of elegance in your chosen fabric and are the perfect final touch for any stylish window.
