When considering window treatment options, literally thousands of fabrics and design choices exist.
Many of my clients ask me: “What makes a custom window treatment custom?” It’s a good question whose answer lies in the journey of fabric from manufacture through to design, construction, and installation.
First, fabrics come from many domestic and international manufacturers. Many of these manufacturers design their own products by converting raw materials into cloth and printing their unique designs on their fabric. They inventory and sample them and finally market their fabrics.
I stock those fabric samples I know will appeal to my clientele. Once a client and I choose a fabric, a professional workroom turns it into a uniquely-designed, beautifully-crafted window treatment.
Full – never flimsy – these custom window treatments come with weighted corners in the hems of the side panels ensuring an even, continuous hemline. Lining, (and often, too, interlining), plays a major role. Lining protects your draperies and your furnishings from harsh sunlight.
Remember, each custom window treatment remains unique, ensuring that each design truly reflects your personality and style.
So, when considering new window treatments, also consider utilizing the services of a professional designer. You’ll have a lot more decorative options and the added benefit of an experienced professional to guide you through every step of the process.
