Drapery & Soft Treatments In Gardner
Drapery & Soft Treatments in Gardner, KS
Custom drapery, drapes and curtains are how a Gardner room picks up softness and color. The great room in a newer two story is tall, bright and hard edged, and our Solar Shield Blinds Drapery & Soft Treatments are sewn to your windows in our own workroom, which is how a new house starts to feel like yours.
Where It Fits In Gardner
Where drapes and curtains fit in a Gardner home
Fabric is the finishing layer, and in Gardner it goes up on tall great room windows, in primary bedrooms, and in the dining rooms of the older houses downtown.
- Two story great roomsFloor length panels hung high on a tall wall of glass give a new great room scale and warmth, with a Roller Shade behind them for the glare.
- Primary bedroomsLined or interlined drapery over a honeycomb takes a bedroom from bright at sunrise to dark.
- Dining rooms near Main StreetA Roman shade gives a tailored look on the dining room window of an older house, in thousands of custom fabrics.
- Window seats and benchesBench cushions and pillows sewn from the same fabric as the drapery tie a bay or a breakfast nook together.
Worth Knowing
Lining, layering and fabric for Gardner rooms
Our workroom sews the whole family of soft goods, from drapery panels and curtains to Roman shades, cornices, top treatments, and the pillows and bench seat cushions that go with them. With thousands of custom fabrics to pick from, it helps to see them at home, so your Design Specialist drapes the samples right beside your wall color and flooring. A tall window in a new great room and a narrow one in a house downtown both get fabric made to their size.
Lining comes first, and it isn't an upsell. Unlined fabric is there for looks: light passes through it and the color fades with the years, and in a dining room that trade can be fine. Lining gives a panel more body and stops more light, and interlining adds one more layer, which is what an east bedroom wants at sunrise in June. Layering drapery over a shade works well too: the shade handles glare and privacy, and the fabric handles the look.
Where an unlined panel falls short, at night or on a cold window, a Honeycomb or Roller Shade goes behind it and both show up on one quote. Your Design Specialist measures each opening on the free visit, and the quoted price stays good for 180 days. Drapery is ready in 4 to 6 weeks, and on install day our techs hang it, steam out the creases and dress each panel by hand.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Gardner homeowners
Yes, and a great room is where drapery does the most. A two story wall of glass has a lot of hard edges, and floor length panels hung high give it softness and scale. Your Design Specialist plans the rod height and panel length at the window.
Yes, for sleeping. Unlined fabric glows when the morning sun hits it, and a newer lot with young trees gives the window no cover. A lined panel stops most of it, interlining stops more, and a blackout liner gets a bedroom truly dark.
Yes. Raised, a Roman shade gathers into soft folds, which gives a smaller window a tailored finish without slats or long panels. Pick the Classic Roman for a patterned fabric, and save Hobbled and Pleated London for solids and textures.
Yes. Bench seat cushions and pillows come from the same fabric library as our drapery and Roman shades, and everything is cut and sewn in our own workroom, so a breakfast nook can have shade, cushion and pillows in one fabric.
Yes, through our COM program, which stands for customer own material: we sew drapery or Roman shades from the fabric you found. Have it out on the table when your Design Specialist arrives, and the order is planned around that fabric.
Yes. Drapery and soft treatments carry the lifetime product warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, five years of free service on defects, and coverage that transfers if you sell.
