Single Curtain Panel
Jump To Our PicksFor smaller windows where a double curtain will just be too much, a single curtain panel is a much more elegant choice. They can be hung with the tie on the right, or the left, of the window. Can be a roman shade style, or hanging straight down from the bar, and pair them up with two windows to draw the eye to the center of the wall. Many fabric styles to choose from ensures you will find your perfect panel.
