Types of Curtains Continued

Sheers

These are fine translucent fabrics. They are used to cut down the amount of sunlight that enters a room and to create a small amount of privacy. They can be used on their own or combined with heavier curtains to be drawn at night.

Corona Drape

This is a decorative curtain at the top of a bed which hangs from a coronet or special bracket.

Under Curtains

These are curtains that hang behind the main curtains.

Bishops Sleeve

Rod pocket curtains with extra length so that the sides can be gathered with tiebacks to create multiple poufs and they often puddle on the ground.

 

Italian Stringing / Reefed Curtains

This is a set of fixed heading curtains that are joined at the centre, the leading edges are drawn back like theatre curtains by cords strung diagonally from one third of the way down the curtain.
