Ripplefolds are my newest obsession in drapery, and they’re making a huge comeback…..

Originated in the Mad Men era, they give softness to a modern interior.  They’re also a cool way to get that “finished look” in a clever, inexpensive way, as the fabric “ripples” in front of its rod or track – avoiding excess of fabric.

You could use them for functional solar and privacy screening, as above…..

Or use as “dress curtains” to finish out a room, as below…..

You can get super mod and sheer, with large-scale motorized ripplefolds on a track…..

But don’t think it’s all for modernists!  This look is all the rage in more traditional or eclectic interiors too…..

I could spend hours and days dreaming of the endless possibilities for this smart, sexy, and clever take on a curtain (a sheer, short version would look great on my lonely ranch house picture window, above the case study sofa…..hmmmm…..)
