Curtain folds, also known as PLEATS, are a type of fold used in curtains and other fabric items. They are created by folding the fabric in an accordion-like fashion, creating a series of parallel folds. PLEATS can be used to create a variety of different looks, from a more formal, tailored look to a softer, more casual look. PLEATS are often used to add texture and dimension to a room, and can be used to create a variety of different effects.
