Custom Window Treatments

Custom Drapery

Custom drapery brings a level of refinement and individuality to a home that ready-made options simply can’t achieve. Each piece is designed and crafted specifically for your windows, ensuring a perfect fit and flawless proportion. When draperies are measured, cut, and sewn to exact dimensions, the result is a beautifully tailored look that enhances the architecture of your space rather than competing with it.

Beyond fit, custom drapery allows for complete creative freedom. You can select from an endless array of fabrics, colors, and textures—whether you’re drawn to airy linens, rich velvets, or modern sheers. Finishing touches such as trims, banding, and decorative hardware elevate the design even further, transforming your windows into true focal points.

Quality craftsmanship is another defining feature. Each seam, pleat, and hem is carefully executed, often with linings or interlinings that improve drape, protect fabrics from sunlight, and provide thermal benefits. The result is not only luxurious to the eye but also practical—helping control light, preserve privacy, and regulate temperature throughout the year.

Perhaps the greatest benefit is how custom drapery completes a room. It softens edges, adds movement, and ties together colors and textures in a way that feels intentional and harmonious. Every detail, from the fullness of the folds to the way the fabric falls to the floor, contributes to a space that feels balanced and inviting.

Top Treatments

Top treatments serve both a decorative and functional purpose, bringing polish, proportion, and a finished look to any window. Whether in the form of valances, cornices, or swags, they are designed to complete the upper portion of a window, concealing hardware or shade mechanisms while adding architectural balance to the room.

They are especially useful in spaces where full-length drapery would be impractical or visually heavy—such as kitchens, bathrooms, offices, or rooms with furniture or built-ins beneath the windows. In these situations, a top treatment provides softness and style without interfering with functionality or creating clutter.

Beyond their practicality, top treatments offer wonderful opportunities for creativity. A tailored cornice upholstered in a patterned fabric can bring structure and sophistication, while a softly gathered valance adds charm and texture. They can be used to introduce color, highlight a design motif, or tie together other decorative elements within the space.

Functionally, top treatments can also reduce glare from upper light, provide subtle insulation, and lend visual height to a window—making the entire room feel more balanced. Elegant, versatile, and customizable, they are the perfect solution when you want the beauty of custom design without the volume of full-length drapery.

Challenging Windows

An interior designer is invaluable when dealing with challenging windows, such as arched, angled, or exceptionally tall windows like these shown here. Chris Read brings both expertise and creative solutions to ensure these unique architectural features are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

First, we assess your space and suggest custom window treatments tailored to the window’s shape and the room’s style. For example, they might recommend arched shutters for curved windows or floor-to-ceiling drapery to emphasize height in rooms with tall ceilings. We have access to specialized products and can propose unique options like motorized shades for hard-to-reach windows, ensuring convenience and ease of use.

Chris also considers light control, privacy and energy efficiency. He can choose materials and treatments that minimize glare, protect your furnishings from UV damage, and provide the desired level of privacy. For angled or irregular windows, we can source or create custom solutions, like adjustable drapery tracks or cellular shades that fit perfectly.

Finally, Chris ensures that the window treatments enhance the room’s overall design, using fabrics, colors, and styles that tie the space together beautifully. Our expertise transforms challenging windows from design obstacles into standout features that elevate your home.

Blinds, Shades & Shutters

Blinds, shades, and shutters are often the most practical and elegant solution in rooms where functionality is paramount. In spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, home offices, and media rooms, these treatments provide precise light control, enhanced privacy, and a clean, tailored aesthetic that suits the demands of everyday living. Shades and blinds allow for effortless adjustment throughout the day, making them ideal for managing glare, protecting furnishings from sun exposure, and maintaining comfort without sacrificing style.

Shutters offer durability, architectural presence, and moisture resistance, making them especially well-suited for high-use or humidity-prone areas. Thoughtfully selected and customized, these window treatments bring clarity, ease, and refined performance to rooms where simplicity and control matter most—proof that luxury is as much about how a space functions as how it looks.
