Drapery & Soft Treatments In Mission
Drapery & Soft Treatments in Mission, KS
Custom drapery, drapes and curtains bring softness and color to a Mission home. The formal living room of a Mission Hills house has tall windows that look bare with blinds alone, and our Solar Shield Blinds Drapery & Soft Treatments, sewn to size in our own workroom, give those windows the softness and color that turn a house into a home.
Where It Fits In Mission
Where drapes and curtains fit in Mission
Fabric is the finishing layer, and in Mission it goes on the tall windows of the older Mission Hills homes, the picture windows of the ranches, and the bedrooms that need to go dark.
- Formal rooms in Mission HillsFloor length lined panels on tall windows give a formal living or dining room the weight it was built for, and they frame the view of the trees.
- Ranch picture windowsPanels on each side of a wide picture window soften all that glass, layered over a Roller Shade that takes the afternoon glare.
- Cape Cod kitchensA Roman shade over a Fairway Cape Cod kitchen window gives a tailored look in a room too small for full panels.
- Window seatsBench cushions and pillows sewn from the same fabric as the shade pull a window seat or a bay together.
Worth Knowing
Lining, layering and fabric for Mission rooms
Drapery panels, curtains, Roman shades, cornices and top treatments, with pillows and bench cushions to match, all add color, texture and style to a room. We carry thousands of custom fabrics, and your Design Specialist brings them to your house so you see the weight and color against your own walls and floors. A tall window in a Mission Hills living room and a picture window in a Mission ranch each get fabric cut to their own size.
The lining comes first, and it isn't an upsell. Unlined fabric is decorative, lets light through and will fade, which can be fine in a dining room. A lined panel hangs fuller and blocks more light, and interlining adds a layer for the most light blocking, which a bedroom facing east needs. Many Mission clients layer drapery over a shade, so the shade handles glare and privacy and the fabric handles the look. Our COM program lets us sew drapery or Roman shades from a fabric you bring.
After dark an unlined panel lets the room show, and it does little against a cold pane, so in those rooms we add a Honeycomb Shade or a Roller Shade underneath and price the pair together. The visit is free, each opening is measured, and the price holds for 180 days. Plan on 4 to 6 weeks for soft treatments, and on install day our Install Techs steam and hand dress each panel so the folds hang even and stack neatly when open.

What our clients are saying
Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Mission homeowners
Yes. Tall windows in an older formal room look unfinished with a shade alone, and lined floor length panels on the right rod give them the scale they need. We mount the rod high and run the panels to the floor so the wall reads even taller.
Yes. Morning sun turns unlined fabric into a glowing panel rather than stopping it. Lined drapery blocks real light, interlined goes further, and a blackout liner makes the room dark enough to sleep in.
Yes. A Roman shade folds up in soft pleats and stays clear of the counter. Patterned fabric looks best in the Classic Roman, and a solid or textured fabric suits the Hobbled and Pleated London styles.
Yes. Bench cushions and pillows come from the same fabric library as the drapery and Roman shades, so a window seat can have the shade, cushion and pillows in one fabric, all sewn in our own workroom.
Yes. Our COM program, short for customer own material, means we can build drapery or Roman shades from a fabric you bring. Show it to your Design Specialist at the consultation and we'll plan around it.
Yes. The Carefree Guarantee covers custom drapery with a lifetime product warranty on materials and workmanship, five years of free service on defects, and coverage that goes with the house if you sell.
