Grommet Drapery
Grommet drapery uses metal eyelets punched along the top hem of the panel, sliding directly onto a decorative rod. The fabric falls in soft, evenly-spaced waves — similar in rhythm to ripple fold, but without the carrier system. It is a casual, contemporary heading specified for secondary spaces where formality is not the brief.
Why Choose This Style
Grommet panels traverse with a hand pull along the rod and stack into a relaxed bunch at either end. They are not architectural, but they are honest about what they are — casual, modern, and meant to read that way.
We specify grommet in lake-house and beach-house secondary rooms, in teen and guest bedrooms, and in casual contemporary great rooms where the over-drapery is a functional layer rather than a styled one.
Grommet finishes — antique brass, brushed nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze — are part of the specification. The eyelet is visible at the top of the panel and should match the rod, the hardware, and the room.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can grommet drapery be motorized?
- No. Grommet panels do not traverse cleanly on motorized carriers — the eyelet rides directly on a rod by hand. For motorized contemporary drapery, we specify ripple fold on a recessed track instead.
- What fullness should grommet drapery be made at?
- We specify 2 to 2.25 times fullness for grommet. The eyelet spacing dictates the wave depth more than the cut fullness does.
- Is grommet appropriate in a formal room?
- No. The visible metal eyelet is a casual gesture by definition. For a formal room, a French or goblet pleat is the correct heading.
Grommet Drapery Across Los Angeles
