We know that a lot of people are unsure how to approach curtains for their homes. How do we know? Our most popular article of all time is How High to Hang Curtains!
Even after reading, people will email us questions about their specific situation. We run into all different kind of window configurations, sizes, heights and proximities to corners. There’s a reason (or 15) why selecting curtains is difficult.
The most basic reason is that ready made curtains usually just don’t work for a lot of windows. That’s why we prefer to use custom window treatments.
Why Custom Window Treatments?
Going custom allows us to work around all those pesky little window problems. Do you have windows that are different sizes? Different heights? Extra wide? We can specify window treatments to the exact width and length that works for your window.
Maybe your window would do better with a different kind of window treatment, like a roman shade. A roman shade still provides privacy and light control, as well as texture, pattern and color. A win for function and aesthetic.
Of course, aesthetic is the fun part of window treatments. We have spent HOURS in the past hunting for just the right curtain to complete a design. Now, we have tons of fabrics to choose from, and can specify exactly the look we want, without all the time consuming online shopping.
Beyond the time savings, we can also really tailor custom window treatments to be a reflection of your taste. Want something soothing and neutral? Linens and velvets are our go to. Want the windows to make a statement? Let’s add some trim, cording or tassels. Want to be bold and mix patterns? We can do that too! The options are unlimited when it comes to custom.
Window coverings of any kind are an investment in your home. Have you counted how many windows you have lately? It’s so important to use quality hardware and fabrics, made my people who are skilled at window treatments. When you try to save a buck, you often pay for it with sagging curtains, uneven hems, patterns that don’t match up, fading and pilling, and poor functionality.
We offer consultations just for window treatments! We will come to your home, assess your style, what kind of window treatment you need, measure the windows, and even be able to give you an estimate right then.
