Not every curtain can keep perfect folds when fully opened.
When there’s no curtain box, many homeowners prefer the curtain heading to cover the track for a cleaner look.
The trade-off?
When the curtains are fully drawn open, more fabric has to stack at the sides. This makes the folds look tighter and less defined, and without tiebacks, the curtains may slowly spring back towards the centre.
This isn’t an installation issue, it’s simply how the design works.
If you’re still planning your renovation, consider adding a curtain box. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in both appearance and functionality.
Design isn’t just about choosing beautiful curtains. It’s also about planning how they’ll work.
