Such folds are called festons. French curtains, unlike the Austrian, have an assembly from floor to ceiling.

But now they are actively used when decorating an apartment or a country house. Most often, such curtains are ordered for the design of the bedroom, living room or work office. They are able to emphasize the exquisite taste of the owner and the luxury of the interior of the room.

Most often, special cornices for curtains in the French style are used for fastening. It can be specialized cornices where manual raising is implemented, and there can be more modern models in which a whole control system and automatic lifting mechanisms are implemented.
