Custom drapery begins with careful planning. Select from a wide range of fabric weights, textures, and linings. Choose your pleat style, from pinch pleats to modern wave folds. Decide how the panels will operate center split, one-way draw, or stationary framing. Matching header types and hardware ensures seamless functionality. These small decisions, tailored to fit your room’s layout and lighting needs, create a unified, balanced result. Each component is made to order, ensuring your window treatments look intentional, perform well, and elevate your overall decor.
Breathable and casual, with a naturally textured flow that filters light gently.
Custom window treatments go beyond appearance. Blackout linings help darken rooms, reduce glare, and protect interiors from UV damage. Thermal linings improve insulation and regulate indoor temperatures. Room-darkening drapes block ambient light while maintaining soft visibility. Custom sizing ensures complete window coverage, minimizing gaps that leak light or air. These features provide year-round energy efficiency and acoustic dampening. Whether layered over shades or standing alone, custom drapes enhance comfort, privacy, and long-term performance in a wide range of home environments.
Pleat styles define how drapes hang and move. Pinch pleats offer a tailored, formal look with structured folds. Grommet tops create modern symmetry and glide easily on round rods. Rod pocket styles hide hardware for a clean, uninterrupted top line, while back-tab headers give a soft pleated finish with minimal hardware visibility. The header style you choose should match both your desired aesthetic and the functional needs of your room. Each header affects the overall drape height, fullness, and stack-back clearance.
Precise measurements ensure perfect drape coverage. Custom width prevents gaps, while tailored length offers puddled, floor-skimming, or sill-level finishes. Choose inside or outside mounts based on trim depth and visual goals. Ceiling-mounted drapes can elongate the wall, while rods mounted just above the frame offer clean framing. Consider return depths and stack-back space for optimal functionality. Professional measuring ensures your custom curtains align with hardware, fall evenly, and frame windows beautifully from every angle.
Frame wide windows with elegance. Choose layered treatments that combine light-filtering sheers with blackout panels for versatile control.
Opt for full-length blackout or thermal-lined drapes for privacy and sleep support. Pair with roman shades for added texture.
Use lined drapes to reduce glare and background noise. A tailored pleat style adds structure to focused environments.
Enhance formality with pinch pleat velvet panels. Sheers beneath add daytime light control while preserving visual softness.
Successful installation involves more than brackets and rods. Hardware must support fabric weight and match drapery pleat style. Rod diameter, finial design, and mounting height affect the finished appearance. During installation, panels are steamed and dressed to achieve correct pleat memory and fullness. Drapes are hung with consistent spacing and even hems. Whether installed over a window frame or wall-to-wall, the result is a cohesive, polished treatment. Finishing touches include holdbacks, trim tape, and tiebacks for additional style flexibility.
