AMAZON FIND: CUSTOM PINCH PLEAT DRAPES

One of my favorite Amazon finds of all time are these gorgeous PINCH PLEAT DRAPES. They have the look of an expensive custom curtain, at half the price! I linked the exact panels and hardware I purchased below.

As with all the Amazon products I recommend, I did a lot of research before getting these and was very happy with my purchase. The drapes exceeded my expectations and the customer service provided by this Amazon seller was excellent.

PINCH PLEAT CURTAINS

-CLICK TO SHOP-

FABRIC

Polyester & Linen blend fabric with a heavyweight faux linen finish.

MEASUREMENTS

Sold per panel. For proper fullness, panels should measure 1-1.2 times the width of your curtain track or rod width. If you cover window 120″ wide, you should choose 2 panels of 72″( 2 * 72″=144″).

CUSTOM LENGTHS

I had to read this twice, but its true! This Amazon seller provides custom sized panels upon request. If you need a specific size, contact them with your desired measurements.

COLORS

There are a variety of colors available to choose from. The drapes photographed here in our guest suite are the color #0 White. YOU CAN ORDER FABRIC SWATCHES HERE!

BLACKOUT LINER

You can purchase these panels UNLINED or with a BLACKOUT LINER. The blackout liner blocks more than 95% of the light. We chose the unlined panels, as ours are more decorative than functional (we have a blackout roman shade to block the light.)

NOTE: We initially purchased the blackout panels and they were very heavy. I also found that liner affected the color of the white drapes – it darkened them (I preferred the light and airy look.) This would not be an issue if you chose a darker fabric for your panels.

CARE

Machine washable in cold water, use only non-chlorine bleach when needed, tumble dry low and warm iron as need.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

I was very impressed with this Amazon sellers customer service. One of the panels I received came damaged (a marking on the panel that occurred during shipping.) I contacted the seller providing photos of the damage and they sent a new panel replacement immediately.

HARDWARE

ALL HARDWARE IS FROM POTTERY BARN

ROD & BRACKET

These are the exact rods and brackets I used. This particular style is modern, simple and sleek. I love the dark contrast of the antique bronze finish against he white curtains. NOTE: These rods do not come with finials (the piece that attaches to the end of the rod) so they need to be purchased separately. I chose these CLASSIC FINIALS.

RINGS

There are two types of rings you can use to hang your panels. Be sure to get the appropriate size ring for the rod size you chose above. I recommend the larger 1.75″ rod and rings.

RING HOOKS

These drapes come with plastic pins, which allow you to use RING HOOKS to hang them. Attach one end of the plastic pin to the header of your drapes and hook the other end of the pin onto the smaller ring. Slide the larger ring on to the rod. This will give you a more formal and polished look.

RING CLIPS

I chose to use RING CLIPS to hang my curtains. This style ring is less formal and will provide slightly more length to your curtains if needed. To use ring clips, you simply clip the top of the curtain at each pleat and slide the rings onto the rod.
