Custom Drapery: How Are They Better Than Readymade Drapes?

Drapery comes in many different styles, designs, and materials. Your choice may include cotton, linen, polyester, silk, or sheer. Drapes can have an extra lining for insulation or completely blocking out the sunlight.

Custom drapery is made completely according to your wishes. It is cut to the exact measurements of your windows and made with materials and linings that you have selected in a design to match your interior décor. For example, you can order insultation and blackout linings on custom drapes with pleats and floral designs when that combination is not readymade in your drapery store.

Five (5) Reasons Why Custom Drapery is an Ideal Choice

Here are five advantages of purchasing custom drapes over readymade ones:

1) You get a wider range of color and design options.

Readymade drapes are available in many different colors, shades, and prints. From pastels and neons, to florals, geometrics, and abstracts. You may even find one that exactly matches your interior style and décor.

When selecting drapes for your home, the quality, the type of fabric, and the type of lining are also important, aside from the print or design. Custom drapes solve all the problems that readymade drapes don’t – you get the right print, fabric, and lining in drapes that are the correct size.

With custom drapery, you simply choose the fabric, design, and type of lining. We then measure your windows so your custom drapes are fitted to perfection. This gives you more freedom over your choice of fabrics and design without the stress of wondering if they come in the style of pleat, lining, or size that you want.

2) They save time and effort.

Finding drapes that perfectly match your interior décor and efficiently serve the exact functions you want can be a challenge. But, you should not have to compromise on either the quality or look of your drapery while also looking for options that cover the functions you need. That means that it can take a lot of time to filter through the readymade options to find the right drapery for your home.

Custom drapery is not made according to standard sizes and market demands, unlike readymade drapes. Rather, it is made for your specific windows and will save you the effort required to go through multiple stores and hundreds of drapes to find the right match for you. The most difficult (but most fun) step is choosing the fabric and design.

3) The quality is guaranteed.

If you are not picky, you may think that readymade drapes, which can be chosen and installed immediately, are more convenient. However, their standardized sizes, creation, and functions can come with different problems.

For example, the quality of the fabric, the mechanisms (grommets, rods, etc.), and the finishing of the drapes are likely to be of lower quality than those used in custom work. They may also be more fragile and fade, or even malfunction sooner than expected.

However, custom drapes are made using the best stitching, fitting, and cutting possible. This ensures that they last longer and serve you better while still looking new.

4) They’re under YOUR roof.

If you are renovating your entire home or moving into a new one, you may require drapes in different styles for multiple rooms, each with a different aesthetic.

In such instances, custom drapery is a great convenience. Why? Because having to look for multiple sets of readymade drapes in different styles requires a lot of time and energy as you will likely have to visit multiple stores.

5) We take accurate measurements.

For drapery to function properly, it needs to be aligned with the window frame. Its purpose of keeping out the cold or sunlight and keeping in warmth during winter is hindered if the drapes are not properly cut and fitted.
