Grommet Curtains

Grommet curtains feature metal or plastic rings punched directly through the fabric header, through which the curtain rod passes. This creates a modern, uniform appearance with deep, even folds that suit contemporary interiors seeking clean lines and unfussy elegance. The large grommets create a bold design element, with the metal finish (nickel, bronze, brass) coordinating with room hardware. Grommet curtains slide easily along rods and create naturally uniform pleating without effort, making them a popular ready-made option.

Key Characteristics

  • Metal/plastic rings in header
  • Rod passes through rings
  • Deep, uniform folds
  • Modern, clean appearance
  • Easy sliding operation
  • Various grommet finishes

Types & Variations

Standard grommet (1.5-2")
Large grommet (2.5"+)
Square grommet (geometric)
Fabric-covered grommet
Two-tone grommet

Placement & Usage Tips

Use an odd number of grommets so both ends fold the same direction. Rod diameter should be smaller than grommet interior. Mount rod high—the dropped header creates grommet detail below rod level.

💡 Pro Tip

Match grommet finish to room hardware (door handles, light fixtures) for design cohesion. Brushed nickel grommets with brushed nickel curtain rods and hardware create a pulled-together look.
