Drapery & Soft Treatments In Leawood
Drapery & Soft Treatments in Leawood, KS
Custom drapery, drapes and curtains from Solar Shield Blinds bring color, texture and a finished look to the formal living and dining rooms in Leawood homes. For a two story living room near 135th and Mission, we cut and sew every panel in our own workroom from thousands of custom fabrics and line it for the job the window needs to do.
Where It Fits In Leawood
Where Drapery & Soft Treatments fit in Leawood
Leawood has the formal living and dining rooms, tall entries and designer led projects where custom drapery and Roman shades make the biggest difference.
- Formal living and dining roomsInterlined panels on a traverse rod in the living room of a home along Mission Road give the room weight and a proper edge. A cornice over the dining windows ties the two rooms together.
- Two story entriesThe tall side lights and the window above the door in a Leawood Estates entry get a Roman shade or a top treatment scaled to the height, so the entry reads as finished.
- Primary bedroomsInterlined drapery over a room darkening shade in a primary bedroom toward 151st is the darkest combination we install, and the heaviest, most hotel like look.
- Window seats and breakfast roomsA bay window in a breakfast room in Hallbrook gets Roman shades, a bench cushion and pillows in one fabric, so the corner reads as a single design.
Worth Knowing
Lining, scale, and working with your designer
Lining is the first decision, and it changes how a panel hangs, blocks light and lasts. Unlined is decorative and lets the sun through the fabric, fine for a north facing dining room. Lined blocks most of the light and protects the face fabric from fading on a west wall. Interlined, with a layer of flannel between the face and the lining, gives real light blocking and the full, heavy fold that a formal living room near 143rd and Mission asks for. Our Design Specialist shows you all three on your own window, in your afternoon light, and prices each one separately on the quote.
Scale is the second decision. The two story entries and tall formal rooms in the newer homes south of 135th need panels that start just under the ceiling and run to the floor, or the room looks shorter than it is. The mid century ranches near State Line have lower ceilings and long horizontal windows, and there a Roman shade or a simple ripple fold panel keeps the line clean. Cornices, top treatments, pillows and bench seat cushions all come from the same thousands of custom fabrics, and if you work with a designer, bring them to the consultation. We're glad to work from a designer's plan.
Drapery is a soft treatment that layers over a shade, so on a west facing living room we pair panels with a screen Roller Shade for the sun, and in a bedroom with a room darkening honeycomb behind interlined panels. The consultation is free, every opening is measured, and the itemized quote holds 180 days with no high pressure. Custom soft treatments run 4 to 6 weeks from order to install. Our full time Install Techs install the hardware, dress the panels and walk the rooms with you.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Leawood homeowners
Yes, and your designer is welcome at the consultation. Bring the plan, the fabric memo or the inspiration photo, and our Design Specialist measures every opening, sources the fabric from thousands of custom options, and writes the itemized quote against the plan. The panels are made to the drawing, and our Install Techs install and dress them.
For a formal living room in a home along Mission Road, yes. Interlining adds a layer of flannel between the face fabric and the lining, which gives the panel the full, heavy fold in the photos and real light blocking. It costs more than a plain lining, and the quote shows the difference per window so you decide room by room.
Interlined panels over a room darkening shade are the darkest combination we install. In an east facing primary bedroom in a home toward 151st, the shade takes the bulk of the morning sun and the interlined panels close over the light gaps at the sides. Unlined or lightly lined panels alone will not darken a bedroom.
Yes. The side lights and the window above the door in a Leawood Estates entry get a Roman shade or a top treatment scaled to the height, and the tall side windows in the stairwell get panels that run the full height. Our Install Techs bring the equipment for the height, and the entry reads as finished from the street.
The west sun on a Leawood living room is hard on fabric, and unlined panels fade first. Lining protects the face fabric, interlining protects it further, and a screen Roller Shade behind the panels takes the afternoon sun so the fabric keeps the color you chose. All three show up on the itemized quote.
Yes. Our COM program, which stands for customer own material, means we can build your drapery, Roman Shades or cushions from a fabric you or your designer already found. Bring it to the consultation, and we'll make it in our own workroom and have our Install Techs hang, steam and hand dress it in your Leawood home.
