Adding drapery to your home can not only add elegance and a general “wow” factor, but it serves a lot of other uses that not everyone considers. Our expert window stylists specialize in transforming homes into extraordinary spaces, all with the help of your home’s windows! Let’s take a closer look at how custom drapery can not only give your home the upgrade it needed but offer some practical advantages as well.
Stylizing
Every part of your home is a reflection of you and your taste, and your windows should be no exception. Working with an expert designer to create custom drapes allows for you to take control of every piece of your window treatments. This includes selecting everything from rods, hardware and the fabric itself. Our design studio has a number of rod types, hardware and fabric options for you to choose from.
First, you can select your ideal rod type. At our studio, we have decorative, traverse, concealed, double and cafe rods that come in a variety of lengths and materials including brass, pewter, iron, wood and more. Once you have your perfect curtain rod, you can then choose the accessories! This will vary depending on which rod you choose, but you can customize everything from the finials/ end caps all the way to the rings, hooks and tie backs for your custom drapes!
Once all of your accessories have been selected, it’s time to pick your custom drapes. At the Sun Shades design studio, we carry an elite lineup of collections from a number of designers including Alendel Fabrics, Unique Fine Fabric, JF Fabrics and more.
We know there is a lot to consider, but the design journey is the best part! If you’d like more information on what we offer in our studio, reach out here and we can get started.

Sound Reduction
Not only will your custom drapery add style and texture to your home, but it serves a very practical purpose as well. Soft window coverings can reduce the amount of noise that may travel inside your home from the outside, like traffic or populated areas. They can also reduce the amount of sound that circulates within your home, like music and entertainment centers. With homes and living spaces being designed with higher ceilings, this is a great way to manage your noise levels.
Insulation and Light Control
Maintaining a comfortable temperature in both the winter and summer months can be done with the help of your drapes! By selecting soft window coverings or layering, you can block out sunlight or cold temperatures that generate off of the glass.
A large piece of the window treatment selection process is deciding how much light you would like to allow into your home. For homes with larger living spaces, high ceilings or grand windows, designing custom drapes will allow you to prevent the amount of light that may leak in as you will have full control over how they are installed and the amount of fabric you use. You can also add blackout curtains to really block as much light as possible!
Adding Value to Your Home
Custom drapery is an incredible investment for your home, as it can add value to its worth. Customizing each space with custom fabrics that tie the room together and stay fairly consistent throughout your home is the cherry on top if there is a chance that you may sell your home in the future. By adding custom drapes, you have not only designed your space to suit you, but you have increased your home’s value to a potential buyer.
Custom drapery really allows you to add something spectacular to your windows that will not only bring elegance, style, and texture to your living spaces, but function as well.
