Often seen in boutique hotels and contemporary offices, s-fold curtains are increasingly gaining popularity in homes as well. Discover why S-fold curtains are a great way to add a warm, contemporary vibe to any room, highlighting patterns and colours with their clean lines
What are s-fold curtains?
S-fold curtains, also known as ripple curtains, are characterised by their smooth, wavy folds running the full length of the fabric and are ceiling-mounted.
Sleek and streamlined, they are common in boutique hotels or modern offices but are gaining in popularity in-home as well due to their elegant minimalist aesthetic.
The S-fold curtains require a special track or rod and can’t be hung on standard ones. But their slim tracks are very discreet and give the fabric a floaty look. Inside the track, gliders are evenly spaced to ensure consistent folds.

The S-fold is popular among designers because of its double-sided appeal – perfect for rooms that open out to a patio or deck, where the back of the curtains is as important as the front.

One thing to keep in mind: the stacking space. While S-fold are more compact than the pleated curtains, they do need some stacking room due to extra carriers. If you want them completely out of sight when open, allow for an extra 20 cm so they stack neatly off the glass.
