Custom Drapery & Window Treatment Questions & Answers

1) What are Custom Window Treatments and Custom Bedding?

Custom Window Treatments

Custom Window Treatments and Bedding are fashions that are made out of your selected fabrics and trims in the selected design. They are also created to fit the specific measurements of your bed or window. They have hidden seams where possible. Any print or design will match at the seams. If there are multiple windows the motif will be located in the same position across all windows. Most items will be lined.

Custom Window Treatments and Bedding are also created by our designer with function in mind. Light or heat control, physical limitations of the residents and function of the room are considered when the designer creates your one of a kind home fashions.
