Draperies, Drapery Panels, Hardware

Custom drapery is the perfect way to give any room a fresh new look. Either paired with blinds and shades, or on their own, drapery adds softness and depth to rooms while accentuating your color scheme and design theme. The right drapery hardware is key to accomplishing the perfect look, too. In addition to looking fantastic, drapery can filter or block light, provide privacy, and improve energy efficiency of your windows. At Altra Home Decor serving Phoenix, we offer custom drapery and a large selection of drapery hardware.

Popular Drapery Styles

There are many different styles of drapery, and many options within each style. Here are a few of the most popular:

Tab top. A casual look, this drapery style utilizes a decorative rod that goes through flat loops spaced along the top edge of the curtain.
Pinch Pleat. A more traditional formal look, these draperies are made with a number of pleats.
Rod pocket. An elegant look, these draperies include a casing at the top that slips over a curtain rod. Rod pocket panels are usually made with sheers or semi-sheer fabric.
Grommet top. A crisp modern look, these drapes have a rod that passes through large rings at the top of the drapery and creates a broad pleated look.
Tie top. A casual and relaxed look, tie top drapery has strips of fabric that are sewn and reinforced into the top of the drapery and actually tied to a stationary decorative rod.
Ring top. A contemporary look, decorative rings are attached to these drapes to create a pleated look.

Choose Drapery Hardware for the Perfect Finishing Touch

Drapery hardware can either be hidden within the drapery style, or used as a decorative element. Here are some of your options:

Double or triple rods. Additional rods are used when you are going to combine drapery panels with a valance. If you add sheers as an under treatment, these go on the third rod.
Decorative holdbacks. These usually match the decorative drapery rod or pole and are mounted on the sides of the windows to hold the drapery or curtain panels open.
Traverse rod. Used with heavier traditional pinch-pleat drapes, these rods are more function than decoration, and can be motorized.
Decorative rod with clip rings. Used for movable drapery panels, clip rings move and slide smoothly over rod.
Decorative poles. Frequently used with tab-top, grommet top, tie top and ring top, decorative poles come in a large variety of of materials, styles, colors and finishes, including wood, brass or iron with capped ends with decorative finials.
