01 / Track on show

Wave curtains on a pole-style track.

Look at the line above the window.

In this kitchen, the black pole-style tracks are echoed in the lamps and other dark details. The fabric hangs in long waves beside the windows. This way the track can be visible without every window demanding attention.

A round pole-style track gives the look of a curtain pole, with a channel for the gliders. Matt brass can add warmth; black makes the top edge more defined. Choose the finish that suits what you already have in the room.

02 / Calm above the window

Wave curtains in a pelmet box.

With a pelmet box or ceiling recess, the track disappears and you mainly see the fabric. The curtain seems to come straight out of the ceiling. That can look beautiful with a long run of windows or if you want few interruptions above the windows.

Here you can see two curtain layers one behind the other. The light layer lets daylight through during the day; you can close the denser layer for more privacy. The waves need enough space to move freely past each other.

A metal finish, a colour or the open weave. Look at the detail and follow your favourite fabric to the colour choice.

Pole-style track on pendant rods

Bronze above a light fabric

The bronze pole-style track gives the light fabric a warm top edge. The pendant rods let the track hang away from the ceiling, so you can still see its shape clearly.

Colour at the window

Rust colour with a chrome track

The cool finish of the track sits alongside the warm rust colour. A combination worth considering if your curtains can bring a little more colour into a light room.

A black line above soft waves

The thin black track draws a clear line above the fine weave. The light fabric keeps the leading role; the black finish matches a dark window frame or other black details.

Light combination

Natural with a stainless steel-look pole-style track

A light fabric with a metal pole-style track can keep a calm look. Here you can see how daylight falls through the weave and how the round pole-style track remains visible above the wave.

Daylight down to the floor

The open voile keeps the garden doors and the view visible. With two curtain panels, each part of the window gets its own waves, while the black pole-style track holds the whole opening together.

Green as a large area of colour

A green curtain across a wide run of windows brings colour into the room. The light wood and calm walls show off the fabric well. The blackout effect is in the fabric, even if you choose a lighter shade.

04 / Practical questions

Choosing wave curtains to suit your interior.

A mood image helps you choose. These answers help you make the combination work at your window too.

Which wave curtain fabric suits the living room?

If you want to keep daylight and the view, compare voile, inbetween and semi-sheer. The openness differs per fabric. With the lamps on, people outside can see in through a light filtering curtain. For more privacy in the evening, you can add an opaque curtain.

Should I choose a visible pole-style track or a track in a pelmet box?

A pole-style track makes the finish above the window part of the room. For example, choose a metal finish that is echoed in your window frames or furniture. In a pelmet box the track disappears and the focus is mainly on the fabric. With both solutions, check the space the wave needs.

Can two layers of wave curtains hang one behind the other?

Yes, with a separate track for each layer and enough space for the waves. You can combine a light fabric with an opaque or room darkening fabric. The layers must be able to move freely past each other, including at the brackets. See the depth of 6 and 8 cm wave and the measuring instructions.

Can a wave curtain go from ceiling to floor with no vertical seams?

Our fabrics are floor to ceiling: each curtain panel is made with no vertical seams. The maximum finished drop differs per fabric. A high ceiling therefore does not automatically suit every collection. See the maximum drops of floor to ceiling wave curtains before you choose a fabric.

Which fabric should I choose for wave curtains in the bedroom?

Dim out blocks approx. 75–85% of the light, depending on the colour. Blackout lets no light through the fabric. Light can, however, come in along the sides or above the curtain. Compare dim out and blackout for the bedroom and allow for those light gaps when measuring.

Is the colour in a mood image exactly the colour of my curtain?

Daylight, lighting and your screen affect how a colour looks. Use a mood image for the combination and choose your final colour with a fabric sample at your window. You can find a listed colour number with the samples and on the product page. See our fabrics and colours or request free fabric samples.
