Custom Drapery

Just as window treatments like blinds, shades, and shutters cover your windows, drapery and valances cover your window treatments with style. Top treatments provide extra light control and an additional element of design to your windows and rooms. Let our team at Unusual Designs custom create them according to the flow and ambience of your room: showstopping drapes give drama to living rooms, airy curtains give a casual feel to bedrooms, and fabric valances give simple comfort to breakfast rooms. Also just like window treatments, your choice of top treatment is important depending on your privacy, light control, and other personal needs.

Valances

Custom valances aren’t the outdated top treatments that garishly adorned your grandmother’s windows. Valances are easy, simple, no-fuss top treatments that are utilized to soften the harsh lines of modern homes. They can be used on their own for a modern look but are most often paired with window treatments to give rooms height and dimension. Being fixed to the top of a window, they don’t add as much privacy and light control as drapes. However, they are often installed out of reach of children and pets and have no cords, making them family-safe top treatment options.

The subtle style of valances can be utilized throughout your home, unlike drapes, and can decorate multiple windows and multiple rooms without being ostentatious or out of place. Valances easily shape windows into arches and curves without changing the window frame and impeding too much on your outside views. Straight-edged valances sophisticate rooms with minimalistic design and ruffled and scalloped valances and window swags create a rustic, bucolic feel. Choose the fabrics and shapes that best match your home’s style and highlight its individuality: well-made, custom valances can increase your home’s value by providing a unique element to your room.

Drapery

Drapery offers more light control and privacy, making it especially useful for large expanses of glass or windows that face outside traffic. Close them to darken rooms more completely than window treatments alone, and part them to frame windows and allow light in. They give fullness to your windows and the cascade of fabric folds acts as a break from the flatness of your walls. Customize your drapes with our unique fabrics and fabrics from the exclusive Hunter Douglas Design Studio™, which features designs from esteemed fabric designers like Rebecca Atwood, Marcie Bronkar, and Seema Krish that liven a home.
