Custom Curtains: Weight Determines the Drape

Close-up of a set of floor-length curtains, the fabric is heavy silk or wool, with enough weight per meter for the fabric to naturally drape into full, even vertical pleats without needing hooks to force them. The hem deliberately extends 20mm onto the floor, creating a slight stack, which is characteristic of custom curtains. The top edge features hand-stitched pleats, with consistent spacing and depth for each pleat. The lining is a satin of the same color family but slightly lighter, with an additional blackout layer between the two. The track is fully recessed into a ceiling groove, with no visible hardware. Side lighting clearly emphasizes the three-dimensional quality of the pleats. Avoid: lightweight fabric resulting in messy pleats, hem suspended off the floor, using rod pockets or grommets at the top edge, exposed tracks.

一組落地窗簾的近景,布料是厚重的絲質或羊毛,每公尺的重量足以讓布自然垂成飽滿而均勻的直立皺褶,不需要靠鉤子強行製造。裙擺在地面刻意多出 20mm 形成一道輕微的堆疊,是訂製窗簾的做法。上緣是手工的抓褶,每一褶的間距與深度一致。裡布是同色系但略淺的緞面,兩層之間還有一層遮光襯。軌道完全嵌入天花的凹槽,看不見任何五金。側光讓褶的立體感清楚。避免:布料輕薄導致皺褶散亂、裙擺懸空離地、上緣使用穿桿或環扣、軌道外露。
