Fullness affects every drape that we make. It can be a difficult concept to wrap one's head around and it's usually hard to imagine & articulate the aesthetic a certain fullness will create in a room.

See our “What is Fullness?” post.

In order to help in that process, we have taken some sample photos to show fullness in a visual way.

Each and every picture below was manufactured at a rod width of 36" and a finish length of 24".

  • First, you will find a set of pinch pleat drapes at 4 increasing fullness levels (180%, 200%, 225%, & 250%).

  • Next there is a set of ripplefold drapes at 4 increasing fullness levels (60%, 80%, 100% & 120%).

The most noticeable aspects that change are the amount of pleats in each picture and the depth of the undulation (see the shadows and the depth of field from the front of pleats to the back).
