Effortless Elegance with Ripple Fold Drapery

The wide variety of modern ripple fold drapery fabrics and fullness options can make choosing the right style a challenge. At Miami Design Group, we’ll work closely with you to carefully select the ideal fabric weight, texture, pleat depth, color palette, pattern, and track system, ensuring your aesthetic and functional goals are met with refined elegance.

Ripple Fold vs. Wave Fold Drapes

Ripple fold drapes are distinguished from wave fold drapes primarily by their fullness ratio—the specific distance between the folds. In a ripple fold system, the curtains are meticulously designed to prevent them from pulling flat when closed, ensuring they maintain their elegant, undulating shape at all times.

Effortless Control with Ripple Fold Curtains

We offer two options for operating ripple fold curtains: baton or cord systems. Based on the layout of your space and the furniture placement, we’ll assist you in selecting the most convenient solution. If easy access is a priority, a baton system will allow you to effortlessly open and close your drapes without needing to maneuver around furniture.

The Allure of Ripple and Pinch Pleat Drapes

We recommend ripple fold drapes for a refined, yet affordable, look. In contrast, Pinch Pleat Drapes, also known as French pleat drapes, are the simplest pleats available. They offer a very traditional aesthetic with an adjustable pin location upon installation.

Pinch Pleat Drapes have a more classic appearance and have become increasingly common over the years. They are extremely affordable and can be crafted from many different fabric types.

Choosing the Right Master Carrier for Your Ripple Fold Drapes

A Master Carrier is the mechanism that holds your ripple fold drapes at the top of the window. When you pull on the baton, the master carrier gathers the drapes together.

We’ll guide you in selecting the ideal master carrier for your windows. The most common options are overlap master carriers and butt-master carriers.

If you have blackout blinds, the overlap master carrier is likely the best choice for optimal coverage and light blocking. For improved style and crisp pleats, butt-master carriers provide superior ripple effect.
