Shop for Custom Drapery Panels 

Our custom drapery panels and curtains are designed to showcase your windows in luxurious fabrics, stunning designs, and painstakingly created embellishments such as decorative trims and fringe, all of which are intended to reflect your own sense of style.

Curtains and drapery panels complement other window treatments such as valances or top treatments wonderfully, or they can work well on their own. They can bring a wide range of colors and textures to any room's decor. There are many unique fabric options available for you to choose from, no matter if you are shopping for drapery panels that are on the heavy and bold side, like a velvet drapery, or curtains that are more on the breezy and delicate side, such as a sheer fabric.

Combine Roman Shades with a linen sheer fabric for a breezy atmosphere that can be turned into a dark room for an afternoon nap by pulling down the shade.

The diversity of our custom window treatments is as wide as the imagination. For instance, if you need a green screen for Zoom video calls, make curtain panels out of green linen! Hide the green screen curtain with a drapery panel made from sumptuous velvet fabric. This would be the perfect combination for your home office when you don’t want to see a green screen all the time but need one for Zoom calls.

What are the benefits of window treatments? 

Curtains and draperies are more than pretty window treatments. They can:

  • Lower electricity bills as one-third of the heat lost in a house comes through the windows. In the summer, about 76% of the sunlight that falls on windows becomes heat. This is according to energy.gov. In winter, open those curtain panels and heat your house during the day, and close them at night to keep the house warm.

  • Blackout curtains can block up to 99% of the light coming through a window. Use blackout drapery panels in media rooms, bedrooms, and nurseries. For people who work nights, this is a game-changer as they are able to sleep in total darkness in the middle of a sunny day!

  • Soundproof curtain panels that are noise-reducing can be a Godsend for people who live in metropolitan or urban areas. These would be heavier curtain panels, such as velvet with interlining to dampen the noise. They will not stop all of the noise, but depending on the circumstances, the reduction can be profound. Plus, you can get an extra level of privacy by combining noise-dampening velvet drapes with blackout curtain lining.

Drapery and Curtain Panel Lengths and Widths

When shopping for drapery or curtain fabric, there are some nuances to think about such as curtain lengths. The length of the finished drape can be commonly made in 3 different ways:

  • The finished curtain panel length is 1 inch off the floor.

  • The finished curtain panel length just touches the floor.

  • The finished curtain panel length is 3-6 inches pooled on the floor.

The fullness of drapery panel width can be an important consideration when shopping for drapery fabric. So, How wide should drapery Panels be? There is a rule of thumb among interior designers that the finished width needs to be 2 times the width of the window, and sheer fabric needs to be 3 times the width of the window. The multiples of width are:

  • 2 times the width is standard fullness.

  • Deluxe fullness is defined as 2.5 times the width.

  • While three times the width is considered ultra fullness,

  • The drapery panels or curtain panels should be hung 4 to 6 inches above the top of the window frame.

  • The curtain rod should be hung so that its width extends 4 to 6 inches past the window's sides. Make sure you leave enough space for the decorative finial!
