Curtain Clip - Interior Design Glossary

Curtain clips attach fabric to curtain rings without sewing, enabling quick installation and easy fabric changes. These metal or plastic clips clamp onto fabric edges, creating gathered, casual effects. The system works beautifully for temporary treatments and seasonal updates. Clips eliminate the need for rod pockets, tabs, or sewn headers—simply clip fabric and hang. This approach suits flat panels, tablecloths, or any material converted to window treatment. The informal gathered effect works in casual and modern settings.
