Today’s drapery options make window drapes a good choice for even oddly-shaped windows like bay, arched, corner, or stacked. If you’re unsure about whether drapery will fit with the look of your room, ask our experienced drapery consultants when you stop by the showroom. In addition to measurements of your windows, it’s helpful to have photos of the windows and the room so that we can help you find the right style.

To make pinch pleated drapes, you’ll need to measure your windows, purchase the right amount of fabric, sew the drapes, measure the width of the fabric, determine how many pleats you need, then fold and sew each pleat. You can also “fake” pinch pleats, using pleater tape and pleater hooks. The best way to make pinch pleated drapes, though, is to leave it to us. Our experts know how to make many different types of pleated drapes and can create exactly the look you want, with no hassle for you!

Traditional drapes and curtains have cables and cords that can get tangled when you’re trying to reach them. Motorized curtains, on the other hand, are easy to operate. When your curtains run on a motorized drapery track, it also eliminates the safety hazard curtain cords and strings pose to small children and pets. What’s more, motorized curtains can be run on automatic timers so that they open and close even when you’re away from home.
