Frequently Asked Questions

We tried to answer most common questions, if you have any additional, please get in touch with our friendly team

Which tie-up shade collections are room darkening?

Room darkening options are available in Solid Cotton, Printed Cotton, Striped Hand Weaved Cotton, Faux Dupioni Silk, and Faux Silk Taffeta collections. All use a privacy lining blocking approximately 60–65% of light. Textured Faux Linen and Dune Textured Cotton are unlined.

How does a tie-up shade hang and how do I adjust the height?

HPD tie-up shades hang via a 4-inch pole pocket that slides onto a curtain rod up to 1½ inches in diameter — the same installation as a standard rod pocket curtain. Each shade has two 70-inch fabric ties that gather and secure the fabric at your desired height. Tie into a bow or knot at the front or back of the shade to create a casual, relaxed look. To lower the shade, simply untie and smooth the fabric back down. Available in one ready-made size: 46 inches wide by 63 inches long. Sold per shade.

How much light do privacy lined tie-up shades block?

Privacy lined tie-up shades block approximately 60–65% of incoming light — meaningful room darkening and strong daytime privacy. Darker colorways perform toward the higher end of this range. The lining adds body and structure that helps the shade hang and gather more cleanly than an unlined version. For complete darkness, a separate blackout blind behind the shade is recommended.

What rooms and interior styles do tie-up shades suit?

Tie-up shades suit smaller windows — kitchens, dining rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms — where a relaxed, informal window treatment adds warmth and personality. The tied-up format creates a casual, handcrafted look that suits farmhouse, coastal, bohemian, Scandinavian, and transitional interiors. They also work as a second layer behind sheer or blackout curtains for decorative interest.
