Double Pleated vs. S-Fold Curtains: Which One is Right for Your Home?

Double Pleated vs. S-Fold Curtains: Which One is Right for Your Home?

When it comes to choosing the perfect curtains for your home, the options can be overwhelming. Two popular styles are Double Pleat curtains and S-Fold curtains, each with its own unique features and benefits. Let's take a closer look at the differences between these two curtain styles to help you decide which one is the best fit for your space.

Style

  • Double Pleat curtains offer a less structured look, trading precise neatness for a more relaxed appearance.
  • S-fold curtains have a continuous, flowing S-shaped fold, giving a soft, elegant, and minimalist appearance. Currently, S-Fold curtains are trending for installation in living rooms, especially when made with our Belgian linen.

Fullness

  • Double Pleat curtains typically have 200% fullness, meaning the fabric width is twice the rod width.
  • S-fold curtains often have a fullness of 250-300%, so the fabric is 2-3 times wider than the rod, resulting in a lush, draped look.


Light Control

  • The pleated header of Double Pleat curtains helps block more light compared to S-Folds.
  • S-fold curtains hang below the track, allowing more light to filter through.


Stacking

  • S-fold curtains stack neatly and take up less visual space when open compared to pleated styles.
  • Double Pleat curtains have more bulk and stacking when opened.


Fabric Options

  • Both Double Pleat and S-Fold curtains work well with a variety of fabrics, from lightweight sheers to heavy velvets.
  • S-Fold curtains look best with soft, drapery fabrics to maintain the S-shape from top to bottom. Our Belgian linen is an excellent choice for this style.


Recommended Spaces

  •  ⁠Double Pleat curtains are ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, or areas needing significant light blockage. It is recommended that these rooms use Double Pleat curtains with dim out or blackout lining.
  • S-fold curtains are well-suited for living rooms and spaces with a modern, minimalist aesthetic.

In summary, Double Pleat curtains offer a more traditional look with better light control, while S-Fold curtains create a softer, more contemporary feel with a sleek, streamlined appearance. The choice depends on your style preferences and the practical needs of your space.


With the right curtains, you can evoke a profound sense of comfort and belonging.
