If you’re looking for a simple yet playful curtain style for your home, we suggest a tie-top curtain. Unlike pleated styles, the tie-tops have fabric strips attached to the top edge of the curtain and are tied onto rings for a fun, jovial look. While they can be tied directly to the rail, we recommend using rings for their functionality, making the curtain easily to open and close.

Tie-top curtain could be made in any material. They work well in a lightweight fabric that feels airy and ethereal where the ties look like ribbons and create a feminine feel. Heavier fabrics work well too as the tie-top break up the block of heavy fabric. The ties themselves can also use a different type or colour of fabric to create a striking contrast or the pick out a certain colour in patterned fabric.

These tie-headed curtains bring a sense of casual elegance to a room and are particularly well-suited for relaxed and inviting spaces. They have an uncluttered appearance, perfect for minimalist rooms or for busier rooms that need a simple style to frame the windows. 

A tie-top heading can be a great option for sheers, particularly if the window has a formal pair of fabric curtains with a more complicated pleat sitting in front.

Tie-top curtains have a fun, timeless quality that transcends changing design trends. Whether your home boasts a modern, minimalist aesthetic or a more traditional style, these curtains seamlessly integrate into various design schemes, making them a reliable and enduring choice.

In the world of curtain styles, tie-top curtains stand out as a fun and versatile option. Their clean lines, adaptability to different fabrics, and timeless appeal make them a popular choice for homeowners looking to strike a balance between sophistication and simplicity in their interior design. Please feel free to get in touch with the lovely Sue Whimster team if you would like any further information on tab-headed curtains or our other styles.
