Windows fitted with tracks or poles are ideal for made-to-measure curtains featuring a box pleat heading. A smart, tailored look is conveyed by the flattened pleats, and this classic detail highlights plain fabrics to invoke simple minimalist interior style. The pleats of the inverted pleat curtains are concealed under a sleek flat front. 

The clean classic lines created by these stationary panels complement contemporary or modern interiors perfectly. Fitting these curtains on a decorative rod adds an interesting design detail to the overall look of the window, but hanging these as panels under a valance or cornice creates a totally different look. 

The creation of uniformly folded pleats seems to be a daunting task at first glance, but the use of a drapery maker’s trick of marking and sewing the pleats is the key to their construction. An inverted or reverse pinch pleat makes a contemporary design heading with a sleek flat appearance. Ideally made with both sheer and blackout fabrics.
