Why Buy Custom Drapes?

5 Reasons Custom Draperies Are a Smart Choice For Your Home

Custom drapes emphasize the style of a room. Even though a room may be completely furnished and look great, it may feel cold and unfinished. This is where custom drapes come it, as they can add a new element to the room. Custom draperies, valences, and Roman shades bring color and drama to a well-furnished room. The unique texture and color of these drapes create drama and softly frames the cityscape beyond. Here are some of the key reasons to buy custom drapes.

1) Custom Fitting

Custom window treatments can be functional or decorative and fabricated to your exact measurements. This ensures the window operates perfectly. Choose a design that softly filters light or opt for complete block out. Alter, compliment or obscure a view in the room or outside. With custom drapes, you have the ability to select a custom fitting that is perfect for the room.

2) Make it Personal

Custom drapes make it easy to make it personal. Whether you want it fun or formal, the choice is yours. Project your style by choosing a drape that tells a story. You can add custom borders to drapes, or layer window treatments with panels, shades and valances. Finish the look with gorgeous hardware.

3) Choose Any Color

When you opt for custom drapes, anything is possible. With a wide selection of fabrics available, it makes the choice of colors and patterns nearly limitless.

4) Top-Quality

Fine fabrics and expert craftsmanship combine to bring you the highest quality window treatments. Custom treatments from the top manufacturers are hand finished and designed to last. Consider them an investment in beauty and function.

5) Energy Efficient

Functional drapes can make your home more energy efficient. The thermal lining of drapes can block drafts and protect against damaging sun.

10 Drapery Design Tips

When you are designing a room with drapes, it is smart to consider the whole room. Extending custom treatments throughout your home helps tie together design elements while also telling your own, unique story. It is easy to get a “designer look” in your own home with a few quick tips. Check out these 10 tips. Interested in new drapery? Contact The Shade Factory today.

1. Look at your space with a critical eye. Do you need to consider a light switch or thermostat? Is the window frame deep enough for an inside mounted shade? Do not forget the details. Our staff can help you make the right decision on your custom draperies.
2. Consider the style of the room and area. Is it a casual or formal area? Are you drawn towards clean, contemporary lines, or are you looking for a more ornate, lush effect? Make these decisions before selecting your custom draperies.
3. Examine function. Do you need to control light in this room? Does the heat from the sun overwhelm the room, or is it cold and drafty? Think hard on how custom draperies can improve the room.
4. Get inspired! Look through magazines, online design galleries, or even tv and the movies. Learn what looks are trending or discover what catches your eye. Make it feel unique to you.
5. Look to nature for color, texture, and design. Bring the outdoors in and frame your landscape as you would a piece of art.
6. Select your fabric. We recommend starting with five to ten samples of fabrics you really love. Order samples to see how they work in your space and light. These samples will help you decide on how to move forward.
7. Create something unique. Try a monochromatic backdrop with pops of color as accents or bold statement fabrics as contrast.
8. Balance and harmonize the room. Distribute a dominant color or pattern around the room and accent with coordinating colors and patterns.
9. Mix and match custom draperies. You do not need to be afraid to combine colors, textures and patterns when it comes to selecting. Play with scale and experiment with blending.
10. Have fun! And make sure you make this space your own.
