Custom Drapery

... from concept to completion ...

It’s all in the details. When you hire a decorator to help you plan window fashions in your own home, it’s all about expressing your own personal style. The decorator’s job is to ask the questions that will help you express what you see in your mind, help you visualize the finished product and understand fabrication terms such as… trim bottom edges.

As you can see in this picture, there is brush fringe trim all along the bottom of the swags and cascades. There are also tassel ties applied to the corners of the top treatment. These are all terms you may or may not be familiar with. It is your decorators responsibility to make sure you know what you are getting.

The difference between ready made, made-to-measure, and custom can be subtle or dramatic. Ready made items come from a store from their in-stock selection. Everyone can have one. Made-to-measure is when you supply the store your window measurement details and they make a semi-custom product to match your details of the window size. You become responsible for the end result. Custom is when you have virtually limitless options to choose from and the decorator helps you accomplish the totally custom look you desire. Measuring and detailing the work order become the responsibility of the decorator.
