Grommet drapes continue to be a popular custom treatment. They are a versatile drapery style that fits most settings. I came across some grommets that have a clever added piece to add to your grommets. The grommets have an attachment on them to make it easier to add a wand to the leading edge to pull the grommets across the rod. The grommet link can also be added to control the spacing on the panels when opening and closing.

Bob Sprain of Bob Sprains Draperies in Paso Robles California shared a great idea with Helser Brothers . Bob says that traversability is usually an issue with grommetted panels and that he has found the perfect solution. He puts one of Helser Brothers steel wands with a welded ring between the first and second grommets inside the leading edge and it works like a charm.
There are several unique shapes and colors to add subtle style to your grommet panels available today. The unique shapes can add so much personality to your rooms no matter how simple the treatment is. (you cannot use the grommet link with these grommets.)
This group of unique grommets are from Kwik-affix
I scoured the internet and found some really cool looking grommet panels. Take a look at some very unique panels that I found:

ReplyDeleteI love the grommets to the back also - something new! It actually has the same look as inverted pleat panels!
ReplyDeleteZona thanks so much for the reference to me in your blog! That was very kind. You can check out what we are doing on the Left Coast at http://www.bobsprainsdraperies.com/ We are located in Paso Robles, California. Have a great year and great success!
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteNice Blog! Grommet drapes continue to be a popular custom treatment. This panel set for the striped upper portion and the rich clay color. It is a little thin in the picture, so they would probably be more suited in a room desiring light to be filtered through the panels during the day. The most novice of beginning sewers is a curtain panel that utilizes grommets to hang it from a curtain rod. Thank you...

The drapes in my house are due for a cleaning but I'm scared I'll ruin them if I do it myself. I think I should hire a drapery cleaning service. I love my drapes and I would kick myself for ruining them.
