Description
Add a warm glow to your interiors with New York Botanical Leaf Curtains, expertly designed to diffuse bright sunlight without sacrificing your view. This exclusive collaboration with The New York Botanical Garden transforms windows into living expressions of nature. Drawing from a world-renowned archive of botanical art and plant science, each design reflects a deep connection to the natural world.
Himalayan Trail is a nod to this spirit of exploration—when plant collectors and artists worked together to document rare species across the world. Inspired by a remarkable collection of early botanical paintings documenting plants native to the Himalayan region, this design traces back to works commissioned by John Ferguson Cathcart and created by a team of Indian artists. Later refined by master lithographer, Walter Hood Fitch, and published by botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker, these studies captured the richness and diversity of Himalayan plant life during a period of active exploration and discovery. Organic, fluid forms grounded in neutral, earthy tones evoke a sense of journey and discovery.
Our Holly Berry design is inspired by eighteenth-century illustrations, originally published in a British handbook that documented observations of native North American plants. Rooted in native plant studies, holly has long been valued for its beauty, bright red pigment, and its ecological significance. A balanced mix of leaves and berries creates a pattern that feels structured, but never stiff. There’s rhythm to it—something your eye can settle into.
This collection invites the joy and beauty of plants and flowers into your everyday spaces through custom window treatments designed for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces. This collection also supports NYBG’s work in plant research and conservation, horticulture, and education. Learn more at nybg.org.

Fit & Factory Deductions

Recommendations
- Fabric color can vary from one dye lot to another. To ensure that all materials are from the same dye lot, please order shades for the same room at the same time.
- Liners are generally a light cream color, which may contrast with darker fabric selections; please consider this when placing your order. Liner color will be visible from the street.
- Grommet width is 1 1/2" in diameter. For best results, we recommend hanging from a rod 1-1/4” in diameter.
- Measure from the top of the rod to the bottom where you would like the drape to end, while also taking into consideration the 1” of fabric above the grommets.
Good to Know
- The width you enter is for ONE panel.
- If you order 1 panel, the width selected is the width of that panel. If you order a pair (2 panels), the width selected is the width of EACH panel, not both panels together, plus any added fullness.
- Panels are made to order so please ensure your measurements are correct. Check out the measure and install tab to ensure you are measuring correctly.
- Hardware not included. Order coordinating curtain rods and rings to complete the look.
- Pleated drapery comes standard with 200% fullness for a rich, opulent appearance..
- Panels ordered wider than 98" will have a vertical seam added.
- Color of unlined panel will be seen from exterior.
- Choose type of liner for your ideal privacy. Optional liner color will be visible from the street. If standard light filtering liner is chosen, white fabrics will come standard with white liner. Blackout liner comes standard ivory.
- Track feature is only available in white.
- For curtains with a track, the ordered height will include both the curtain and the track.
- There may be a variance in height up to 1/2", and a variance in width up to +/- 0.5% of ordered width.
- Tiebacks come as a set with hardware that attaches to your wall. For pleated drapery, the hardware will be satin nickel.
- Measure from the top of the rod to the bottom where you would like the drape to end. Usual and customary to order length ½” off floor.
- Dry-clean only.
- If your drapery arrives slightly wrinkled, you can correct that quickly with a garment steamer, being careful to avoid direct contact with the fabric. Most wrinkles will relax and smooth out over the first week.
- Products ordered with a track will have spliced headrails if ordered over 90" in width.
SelectConnect Bridge

Measuring the Width
- If you already have a drapery rod, measure the distance between the finials (The decorative ends of the drapery rod).
- If you already have a track, measure the total length of the track.
- If you do not already have a rod or track, then you will need to determine the total width that you would like your drapery to cover.
- Measure the width of the window and include the window frame.
- When measuring the width to be covered, we recommend that you add between 4”-8” allowance to each side of the window measurement. You can add even more allowance if you want to create the effect of a wider window.
- By doing this, when the curtains are open they will not block as much of the glass and it will allow more light and make the window appear larger.
- Also, by adding these extra inches to the width, it will extend the drapery coverage and help keep out extra light when they are closed.
- We will automatically add 200% fullness to all drapery treatments. Fullness is extra fabric across the width of the drapery to provide a richer look and increase light and sound absorption.
Measuring the Height
- If your drapery rod is not already in place, you will first need to determine the height at which you want to place your drapery rod.
- Measure from a minimum of 4” and a maximum of 12” above the top of your window (not including tabs or rings) to create a professional look and to give the illusion of height. This will become the placement height of your drapery rod.
- Pleats and grommets are included in the length you order.
Drapery Panel Length Tips:
- You can specify any length desired to the 1/4".
- For uneven floors, make sure to measure each side and submit the smallest measurement.
- For floor length drapes, you have some options:
- A classic, clean look is to have the drapes end ½” above the floor or just touching the floor.
- For a more luxurious look on drapery panels that will be stationary, you can add 1”- 10” to the drapery panel length so that they “puddle” on the floor.
- 1” Puddle is sometimes called a “trouser break”. It is a clean look that just touches the floor.
- 2”-4” Puddle is a more common puddle length with just a slight spilling of fabric onto the floor.
- 5”-8” Puddle creates a full look with enough fabric to fan the fabric over the floor.
- 10”+ Puddle is the most luxurious and is typically used in very formal settings.
- Puddling is not recommended for drapes that will be open and closed on a regular basis.
- For sill length drapes, you need to decide if you want the length to the sill or just below the sill.
- If you choose “to the sill”, measure the length to the top of the sill.
- If you choose “below the sill”, measure the length an inch or two below the bottom of the sill.
Measuring Tips
- Use a steel measuring tape
- If you get a 1/16" or 1/32" increment for width, round down to the nearest 1/8"
- If you get a 1/16" or 1/32" increment for height, round up to the nearest 1/8"
