Curtain Mockup Templates

Unlike most textile products, curtains are never seen flat. They hang in pleats, gather at headers, and the design is always visible through folds. A flat artwork proof is essentially useless for curtain products - it can't show how the pattern compresses in gathered areas, how much of the repeat is visible between pleat peaks, or how light passing through sheer materials affects color perception.

You'll find window curtains (rod pocket, grommet-top, tab-top), heavier drapes with pinch pleat and ripple fold styles, sheer panels in lightweight voile and organza, and shower curtains with grommet rings in bathroom settings. The range covers the main product types that interior designers, textile companies, and sellers offering custom-printed curtains actually need.

Each hanging style creates different fold geometry, and the templates reflect that. Pinch pleats create regular, deep folds from the header. Grommet tops produce soft, evenly-spaced waves. Rod pocket curtains gather irregularly with tighter compression at the top. Your pattern compresses in fold valleys and stretches slightly on pleat peaks - exactly as it would on physical fabric. For designers working with stripes or geometric repeats, this preview is critical before committing to production yardage.

The sheer curtain templates deserve special mention. These are genuinely tricky because the fabric is semi-transparent - background elements like windows, wall color, and daylight show through. Your design renders at reduced opacity on the sheer surface, and where curtain panels overlap, color density increases. If you're designing for voile or organza products, these mockups will show you immediately whether your pattern has enough contrast to read through the material.

Scenes use window-lit rooms with neutral interiors so the curtain design stays the focal point. Shower curtain templates are shown in bathroom settings with appropriate fixtures for context.

What curtain styles are included?

Window curtains (rod pocket, grommet-top, tab-top), heavier drapes (pinch pleat, ripple fold), sheer panels (voile, organza), and shower curtains. Views include hung on rods, close-up fabric detail, and styled room scenes.

How do the sheer curtain mockups work?

Sheer templates render semi-transparency accurately. Your design appears at reduced opacity, background elements show through the material, and overlapping fabric layers display increased color density. Essential for evaluating whether your pattern reads well on lightweight fabrics.

Do different hanging styles show different fold patterns?

Each template applies fold geometry specific to its hanging style - pinch pleats create deep regular folds, grommets produce soft waves, rod pockets gather irregularly. Your design follows the fold pattern faithfully, so you can see exactly how a repeat compresses and stretches.

Are shower curtain mockups included too?

The collection includes waterproof polyester shower curtain mockups shown in bathroom settings with grommet rings and appropriate fixtures. These use the same smart object workflow as the window curtain templates.
