Drapery & Soft Treatments In Lee's Summit
Drapery & Soft Treatments in Lee's Summit, MO
Custom drapery, drapes and curtains finish a room in a way a shade can't on its own. Two story great rooms in Lee's Summit have tall glass that shades cover but never soften, and our Solar Shield Blinds Drapery & Soft Treatments add the fabric, made to your window and hung by our own Install Techs.
Where It Fits In Lee's Summit
Where drapes and curtains fit in Lee's Summit
Tall great room glass, formal dining rooms off the entry, and bedrooms that need the morning blocked all call for fabric, and in Lee's Summit most of that fabric goes up alongside a shade.
- Two story great roomsFull length panels beside the tall windows of a Ward Road two story bring the scale of the room down and warm it up, with a Roller Shade behind them doing the sun control.
- Formal dining roomsA Roman shade or a cornice over the dining room window near the entry gives the room a finished look and hides the hardware of the shade underneath.
- Primary bedroomsLined or interlined drapery over the bedroom windows gives you a dark room without hardware showing, and it adds a layer against the older glass downtown.
- Lake room window seatsA window seat looking out at Lakewood gets a bench cushion and pillows cut from the same fabric as the panels, so the whole wall comes together as one design.
Worth Knowing
Drapes and curtains that finish what the shade starts
Many Lee's Summit great rooms have the same problem. The windows are tall and wide, the shade or blind is doing its job, and the room still feels hard. Drapery fixes that. Panels hung beside the glass in a two story along Blue Parkway draw the eye down and add color and softness, and fabric also quiets the echo in a room with hard floors and big windows. In the older homes near downtown, a Roman shade or a simple curtain suits the smaller windows and stained trim.
The decisions are fabric, lining and hardware. We have thousands of custom fabrics, and through our COM program we can also build with a fabric you found yourself. Unlined panels are decorative and will fade, lined panels hang better and block more light, and interlined panels are the ones that darken a primary bedroom. Every panel, Roman shade and cornice is cut and sewn in our own workroom, and we plan two to two and a half times the width of the opening so the fabric has proper fullness.
Drapery works best layered with a shade, because panels open or close, and a lake facing window that needs a screen fabric for the three o'clock glare still needs the screen. We design the shade and the fabric together at your free consultation, measure every opening, and write an exact quote on the spot that holds for 180 days. Soft treatments take 4 to 6 weeks, and our Install Techs hang, steam and dress every panel so it lays soft and stacks right.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Lee's Summit homeowners
Yes, it's the most common drapery request we get from the two stories along Ward Road and Blue Parkway. We mount the rod close to the ceiling and run the panels to the floor, which makes the wall read taller. A Roller Shade behind the panels handles the sun, and both are measured and quoted on the same visit.
For anything more than decoration, yes. Lined panels hang better and last longer, and interlined panels are the ones that make a primary bedroom dark. Unlined panels are translucent and will fade, so we save them for sheers or side panels beside a window a shade already covers.
Yes. We make six Roman shade styles, from the Classic flat fold to the Hobbled and the Relaxed, plus cornices, valances and top treatments, all from the same fabrics as the drapery. They suit the smaller windows in the older homes near downtown, where floor length panels would overwhelm the room.
Yes. Motorized traverse rods are available, and they make sense on very wide or very tall panels, like the ones in a two story great room at Lakewood. Roman shades can be automated too, and they can run from the same remote or app as your other shades.
No. Drapery and soft treatments follow our interior lead time of 4 to 6 weeks from order to install. Everything is sewn in our own workroom, and on install day our team hangs, steams and hand dresses every panel.
Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee covers drapery and soft treatments with a lifetime product warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, free service on defects for five years, and coverage that transfers to the next owner of your home.
