If you’ve recently finished decorating and furnishing your home and still feel like something is missing, you may have overlooked your window treatment options. There are several different styles and materials to choose from, and it’s important to consider the advantages, disadvantages, and styles of each one.
In this article, we’ll go over some of the pros and cons of custom draperies to help you determine if this specialized feature is right for your space.
- Length: The main difference between curtains and custom draperies will be the length. Curtains are typically shorter and only cover the length of the window, whereas draperies tend to hang down to the floor for a more elegant appearance.
- Functionality: Curtains are used to cover the window when you need something to block out the sun or add a little more privacy to your home. Custom draperies can be purely decorative or as functional as you would like. For instance, you might choose a blackout lining to make a room darker, or you can go with a pretty, sheer fabric to allow plenty of natural light indoors.
- Satisfaction: Storebought curtains can make it difficult to find the perfect size for your windows, and the quality isn’t always guaranteed. With our custom draperies, you can rest assured that they will always be made of the finest quality, measured according to your needs, and designed according to your specifications and preferences. We measure, design, fabricate, and install your draperies ourselves to ensure your complete satisfaction.
