DRAPERY | DRAPERY HARDWARE

Custom draperies, fully functional or side panels, are a favorite choice for their unique ability to add a soft layer of texture and accentuate a room’s architecture. Draperies are a classic, timeless window fashion that strikes an attractive balance between formality and tailored elegance. No other window treatment lets you express your personal taste quite so elegantly. Whether simple or ornate they produce a completely finished look at the window that provides beauty, functionality, and insulation.

A perfect starting point is deciding what drapery pleat best suits your style. Ripple Fold draperies are adored by architects and designers for their modern simplicity, while the Pinch Pleat is a perennial classic that provides a more tailored, formal aesthetic. From Box Pleat to English Pleat, French Pleat, Unpleated and more, we can design and fabricate exactly what you are envisioning or replicate a drapery style based on an inspiration photo. 

You have the option of selecting a fabric from the extensive selection in our showroom, ranging from sheer to blackout, solids to statement-making patterns, and linens to velvets, or bring us your own COM fabric. You have the artistic ability to create a style that is uniquely yours, while also addressing lighting and privacy needs.

If you still want a more elevated look but drapery is not an option, top treatments like valances and cornices are another lovely way to add a soft fabric touch and express your personal taste. Whether you tend toward a traditional welt or a more modern knife edge, top treatments have the ability to enhance your window fashion. There are so many ways to customize the design beyond fabric selection. Sculp your shape, add trim for a pop of color or even nail heads for a perfectly upholstered finish.
