Custom Drapery
There is Certainly Nothing like The Warmth and Elegance of a Perfectly Designed Drapery Treatment
Our custom drapery is hand-made from our extensive selection of exclusive designer fabrics. Choose
from hundreds of fabric styles, textures, prints, and colours. There is certainly nothing like the warmth
and elegance of a perfectly designed drapery treatment. Custom made drapes are the finishing touch
when dressing a window. They can be used in combination, and work well with many other window
covering styles. Use side panels to accent and frame a window or fully functionally curtains to get your
room dark. Blackout lined drapes are great for keeping a bedroom nice and warm when you snuggle up
under those blankets. They also do a great job of keeping the light out. Studies show you get a much
better sleep in a dark room. Custom drapery has great insulating properties and will keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They also have great sound absorption, dampening the noise from traffic, or if you happen to live on a busy street.
Purchasing custom made drapes vs ready made drapes has many benefits. Custom made drapes should
always look full and maintain an “S” shape even when drawn closed. Ready made drapes will tend to look flat when in the closed position. Custom drapery can be made at any height to fit any window size. They can be installed just off the floor, just touching the floor, or even puddling on the floor, depending
on style and personal preference. Custom lined drapery is crucial to the longevity of the fabric. Lining fabrics are available in a multitude of opacities to achieve the perfect amount of light or darkness. Ready made unlined drapes will fade and disintegrate with exposure to the sun. Custom draperies are available in over a dozen different heading styles with about 4 or 5 being the most
popular. The heading is how the drape is pleated at the top to give fullness and style. Hardware is
commonly selected with heading style. Wall mounted decorative rods with finials or ceiling mount
tracks are among the most popular styles.
Sheer fabrics are designed to be light and delicate and can be great at diffusing sunlight. Sheers can be
used on their own when privacy is not of importance. They can also be used together with lined drapery
fabrics as a picture-perfect overlay combination. Give us a call today or click the contact us page to find out if custom drapes are a good choice for you!
