What is the difference between a curtain and a drapery?
Essentially, they are the same thing. Both consist of fabric and thread. Both are mounted using some type of “rod” or “track” or “hardware”. If there is a difference, curtains are hung on “curtain poles” where the poles can be seen above the treatments. Draperies are traditionally hung on “drapery tracks” where the tracks are hidden above the header of the draperies.
