“My windows are just a standard size but I can not find draperies to fit?”
Custom Draperies are your answer. The reality is although some windows have standard measurements, most window treatments and draperies are custom. Ready made window fashions will leave you short-sheeted or just shy of the total window width.
“So what do I do?”
Custom windows are something to consider when planning a room’s function and design. Being the nature focus of any space, you usually will be drawn to the window design in your favorite room. Maybe sometimes without even knowing it. There are many choices out there to create the perfect look. Blinds, black-out shades, cornices, draperies that converse or have lovely stationary hardware are only a few ways to cover a window.
“How do I know what look to choose?”
A design professional will most always first measure your windows, ask you questions about the room and check your budget. Rule of thumb, designs will be around $1000 per window, but there are always quick, beautiful solutions to any design. A swag hung over blinds, pinch pleat stationary panels or Pagoda cornice will create that special appear to suit your lifestyle.
“I am living in a fish bowl! How long will this going to take?”
After your initial visit, measure and deposit, it should take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks. Coordinating an installer for your windows may take time depending on your window’s design, height and needs, plus fabric and hardware must be ordered and sewn to your dimensions. Talk to your designer about the timeline that works best for you.
