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. Whether simple or ornate, they produce a completely finished look at the window that provides beauty, functionality, and insulation. CMI transforms your fabric into the window fashion of your dreams, offering custom drapery fabrication and a stunning array of artisan-crafted drapery hardware for interior designers and homeowners throughout New Jersey and New York.

Pleat Styles & Fabrication
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 — CMI 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.
Artisan Drapery Hardware
For the finishing touch on your drapery design, CMI offers a fabulous selection of artisan-crafted drapery hardware in your choice of brass, steel, iron, Lucite, or wood. Our hardware collections include Helser Bros., The Bradley Collection, Brimar, United Supply, Orion Art, The Finial Company, Deco & Deco, Houles, Kirsch, The Forest Group, and more. Custom draperies can glide easily along a low-profile track or decorative rod, and can be motorized or manually operated. Think of the hardware as the accessory to your wardrobe — you can be as understated or extravagant as you like.
Cornices, Valances & Top Treatments
If you want a more elevated look but drapery is not an option, top treatments like valances and cornices are a 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 enhance your window fashion. There are many ways to customize the design beyond fabric selection — sculpt your shape, add trim for a pop of color, or even nail heads for a perfectly upholstered finish.
Motorized Drapery & Track Systems
Custom drapery panels can be motorized for whisper-quiet, one-touch operation — ideal for floor-to-ceiling installations, wide bay windows, or any setting where manual operation is impractical. CMI offers motorized traverse systems from Lutron, Somfy, and Forest Group recessed track systems — the latter being particularly popular for new construction projects where a completely concealed track is desired. Motorized drapery integrates seamlessly with Lutron's HomeWorks and RadioRA 3 lighting and shading control systems, allowing drapery, shades, and lighting to be controlled from a single keypad, app, or voice command.
