A textile decorator with 19 years of experience shares the best Procreate brushes for curtain sketches, drapery templates and interior design client presentations.
By Sviatlana Fedzianiova, textile decorator with 19 years of experience and founder of an online school teaching Procreate visualization for curtain and textile professionals on iPad and iPhone.
When I first started looking for Procreate brushes for my client work, I downloaded everything I could find. This guide is based on how I use Procreate brushes for curtain visualization and interior textile presentations in real client projects.
Botanical brushes. Watercolour sets. Architecture packs. Things that looked beautiful in demo videos and then sat unused in my library for months. And I kept thinking: why is this not working for real projects?
The problem was simple: most brush sets are made by artists for artists. They're designed for illustration, portfolio pieces, and things that look impressive on Instagram.
Most Procreate brush collections are built for illustrators, not for interior designers working with textiles, curtains, and window treatments.
After years of trial and error — and eventually building my own collections — I know exactly what interior designers and textile decorators actually need. This is that list.
What Makes Procreate Brushes Useful for Interior Design Work
Before we get to specific products, here's what I look for.
Speed. Can I apply a fabric texture in two minutes or twenty? In a client consultation, this matters enormously.
Realism at the right level. Not photorealistic renders — just convincing enough that a client says "yes, I can see it." The bar is clarity, not perfection.
Flexibility. Does it work for curtains, upholstery, pillows, bedheads? Or only one thing?
Commercial license. If you're using it in client work, you need the right to do that.
With that in mind — here's what I recommend.
For Window Treatments and Drapery
If you're starting from scratch, this is the fastest way to get results → 28 Procreate Curtain & Drapery Stamps
Drawing curtains by hand every time is slow — especially when a client wants to see several options in the same consultation. This set gives you 28 ready-made stamps covering the most popular styles: pleated drapes, sheer curtains, tie-backs, and various folded arrangements. Place, resize, recolour — done.
Everything is fully resizable without quality loss and colour-editable to match any fabric palette. One .brushset file, instant import into Procreate with one tap.
What I use it for: quick client mockups, on-site visualizations on iPhone, showing three curtain style options in under ten minutes.
For Decorative Trim and Finishing Details
This is the category most decorators overlook — and then regret when a client asks "can we add fringe?" and you have nothing to work with.
50 Procreate Trimmings Brushes — Fringe, Tassel & Decorative Trim covers the full range of decorative trim styles. Straight fringe, curved tassels, decorative edging — everything that makes a curtain or upholstery design look finished and luxurious in a client presentation.
Drawing fringe manually every time is repetitive and slow. This set does it in seconds. Works on curtains, pillows, upholstery, and bedspread mockups. Fully resizable and colour-changeable to match any fabric palette. Includes a bonus step-by-step video tutorial on using fringe brushes in interior design presentations.
In my experience, decorative trim is often where a project goes from standard to something the client genuinely gets excited about. Being able to show a tassel or a contrast border in real time — right there on the screen — changes the conversation.
This is exactly how I create a curtain visualization during a real client visit 👇
This takes about 10–15 minutes on iPhone
The Full Drapery and Interior Details Collection
For decorators who want everything in one place — curtains, trimmings, lambrequins, architectural moldings, and interior details — the Drapery & Trimming Procreate Stamps collection covers the complete range.
This is what I reach for when I'm presenting a full room concept rather than a single window. All assets include commercial use rights and instant download.
For Complete Interior Presentations
340+ High-Resolution Textile Templates is the most comprehensive set in the collection and the one I use for larger projects.
What's inside: 200+ curtain templates covering classic drapes, Roman blinds, pleated curtains and more. Bedspread and bedding templates for bedroom visualizations. Pillow templates to complete textile scenes. All assets as high-resolution PNG with transparent backgrounds — ready for drag and drop into Procreate or Photoshop.
The workflow is simple: drag any template onto your canvas, apply your chosen fabric texture on top. The volumetric form is already done. You just add the material.
This is not a starter set. It's what you reach for when you're presenting a full apartment or working with an architecture firm and need to cover every room efficiently. Includes a bonus video tutorial on using the templates for client presentations.
How These Fit Into a Real Workflow
Here's how I actually use these during client work.
On a site visit with my iPhone: I photograph the window, open Procreate, place a curtain stamp from the 28-piece drapery set, recolour it to match the fabric we're discussing, add a trim detail from the trimmings brushes. Client sees their room transformed in about fifteen minutes.
Back at the studio on iPad: I refine using the 340+ templates for the polished version — proper proportions, hardware details, multiple room views if needed. This becomes the final visualization I send before the contract is signed.
The rough version closes the meeting. The polished version closes the contract. This shift in timing changed everything in my work — I explain it in more detail in this article about rough vs polished visualization.
Different sets serve different moments in the process.
One Honest Note
Brushes save time. They don't replace understanding.
If you know how fabric drapes, how light hits velvet differently than linen, how fullness changes a pattern — these tools will make you significantly faster. If you're still building that knowledge, the brushes will help but they won't do the thinking for you.
That's why I always say: foundation first, tools second.
If you want to build the foundation — the method, the process, the way of thinking about visualization — that's what my course for textile decorators covers. The brush sets and the course are designed to work together, but either works on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Procreate brushes do interior designers actually need for curtain visualization?
Three types cover most professional work. Curtain stamps for placing window treatment shapes quickly — the 28-piece drapery set covers the most popular styles. Fabric texture brushes for applying realistic linen, silk, velvet and pattern surfaces to curtain forms. Decorative trim brushes for fringe, tassels and edging details that make a proposal look finished rather than basic. Start with curtain stamps — they save the most time immediately.
Are Procreate brushes for interior design worth buying or can I create my own?
Both approaches work — but buying saves significant time at the start. Creating your own curtain templates from scratch requires understanding how fabric drapes, how folds behave at different fullness levels, and how shadows fall across different curtain styles. That knowledge takes time to develop. Pre-built brushes and templates give you professional-quality foundations immediately so you can focus on the fabric selection and client conversation rather than building tools.
Can I use interior design Procreate brushes on iPhone as well as iPad?
Yes — all brush sets work identically on iPhone and iPad. The brushset file imports into Procreate with one tap on either device. For on-site client consultations I use the same curtain stamp and trim brushes on iPhone that I use on iPad in the studio. The workflow is identical — only the screen size changes.
Do Procreate brush sets for interior designers include commercial use rights?
All brush collections in my shop include commercial license — you can use them in client work, presentations, and commercial projects without additional licensing fees. This is important for professional decorators and interior designers who create visualizations as part of paid client services. Check the product description of any brush set you purchase to confirm the specific license terms.
How many Procreate brushes do I actually need to start creating curtain visualizations?
Far fewer than most people think. A basic curtain stamp set for window treatment shapes, a handful of fabric texture brushes for the most common materials you work with, and a simple trim brush for fringe and tassels — that covers the majority of client consultations. The 28 curtain stamps and 50 trim brushes together give you everything needed for professional on-site visualization. The larger collections add depth and speed as your workflow develops.
