Drapery Decoded: The Design Secret to Transforming Your Space

Drapery is a versatile design element capable of taking a space from ordinary to truly special. Beyond its primary function of providing privacy and controlling light, drapery has the power to add layers of depth and sophistication to any room. When used thoughtfully, it becomes the finishing touch, the subtle detail that elevates the entire space.

Much like a well-placed piece of art, drapery has the ability to frame a space, drawing the eye upward and creating the illusion of taller ceilings. It softens harsh lines and adds elegance to even the most minimalist of interiors. Drapery is the eyeliner of interior design, defining boundaries and creating moments of visual interest.

Unfortunately, in most circumstances, custom drapery is costly. Therefore, it's important to approach it as an investment rather than an afterthought. While there are upfront costs associated with quality materials and skilled craftsmanship (the workroom you choose is as important as the fabric!), the pay off is worth it. It pulls together a room in a subtle yet powerful way. Rarely do we feel a space is complete without some kind of custom window treatment.

Above are some examples of the custom drapery we’ve commissioned for clients. Each of these rooms would look and feel drastically different without it. Although we like to include drapery at the start of any project, it’s never too late to add. It just might be what your space is missing!
