Pleated Drapes

Pleated drapes are a classic, yet infinitely versatile choice for window treatments. Your Calico design associate can help you figure out what style complements your room and help you choose the best fabric to get the look.

Here are the different types of pleated drapes that Calico offers:

Goblet pleat

Soft and elegant, Goblet Pleated drapes add a touch of formality, particularly when complemented by wonderful architectural hardware.

Inverted box pleat

Inverted box pleated drapes have the fullness of the pleat on the back of the drape which creates a flat drapery face suitable for contemporary interior design.

Inverted pinch pleat

Inverted pinch pleated drapes are an updated look to the standard pinch pleat drape. They have a tailored look that will suit any décor.

Traditional, tailored and versatile, pinch pleated drapes fit well in any room. Pinch pleated drapes are a good choice when you want light control, privacy and the ability to open and close.
