Benefits of Custom Drapery and Drapery Panels

Custom drapes accent interior decor, add interest, and can frame your outdoor view, but it's much more than a pretty face.

Here are some advantages you can expect from custom drapes or drapery panels:

  • Privacy: Privacy levels depend on the drapery fabric's opacity, ranging from sheer to room-darkening.
  • Light control: Opening and closing custom drapes lets you control how much natural light enters a room.
  • Security: You may not want your items displayed to those passing by, especially if you're away from home. Closing your drapes can make your home more secure.
  • Insulation: Insulation is essential in both warm and cool weather. Drapery for temperature control makes your home more comfortable and reduces energy costs.
  • Sound control: The drapery fabric lessens outside noise and helps create a relaxing environment.
  • Less cleaning: Your custom drapes reduce the amount of dust and pollen from entering through your open window.

What to Consider When Choosing Custom Drapery

Here are some helpful considerations when shopping for custom drapery near Coeur d’Alene, ID:

Drapery Fabric

Often, drapery comprises heavier materials, like velvet, but at The Blind Guy, you can select from thousands of color and fabric combinations. The room's overall aesthetic will determine the drapery fabric that looks best, but you should also consider the amount of maintenance a material requires.

Some types of drapery fabric include:

  • Cotton and linen: Natural, lightweight fabrics that create an airy, casual appearance but can wrinkle easily.
  • Polyester blend: Durable and wrinkle-resistant, making them ideal for busy households, but the fabrics are flammable and often hold odors.
  • Silk: Elegant and luxurious, lending an upscale aesthetic to a room. It's also incredibly delicate and dry clean only, so consider faux silk as an alternative.

Header Type

The header type determines how the drapes hang. There are four popular styles, which are:

  • Grommets: Have grommets in the fabric the curtain rod goes through, creating simple lines.
  • Rod pocket: The rod slides through a folded-up fabric pocket so you can't see it. This style suits drapery panels or stationary drapes well.
  • Tabs: Uses thin strips of fabric that the curtain rod glides through, making them best for stationary drapes or drapery panels.
  • Pleats: Within this style are several options, as pleats are a traditional, popular style used for decades.

Drapery Length

Extended length is a hallmark of draperies, and many individuals choose to have drapes that "kiss" the floor. This length is the perfect medium between the formal aesthetic of drapes that puddle on the floor and ones that break above the floor.

If you have kids, pets, or drapes in a busy area of your home, drapery that ends less than an inch from the floor helps keep them cleaner and reduces tripping hazards.
