Worth Knowing
Lining, fullness, and layering drapery over a shade
Most of our drapery goes up next to a shade rather than instead of one. The shade at the glass handles the light and the privacy, and the panels frame the opening, hide the hardware, and make the window look designed. We offer fully functional drapery panels, stationary side panels, Roman Shades, cornices, valances, pillows and bench seat cushions. Our COM program, customer's own material, means we can also build to a fabric you found somewhere else.
For Olathe homes we treat lining as a real decision, not an upsell. Unlined fabric is translucent and it will fade. A lined panel hangs better, blocks more light and lasts longer. Interlined is heavier again, and it's what you want when the drapery is doing real light blocking work. For fullness, plan on two to two and a half times the width of the opening, which gives you the folds that make fabric look like fabric.
Roman Shades come in six styles, Classic, Relaxed, Pleated London, Hobbled, Knife Pleat and Ribbed Pleat, and all of them feature cordless operation for safety around kids and pets. Drapery can be motorized with a traverse rod on very wide or very tall panels. Your Design Specialist brings the fabric books to your Olathe home, measures every opening, and writes an exact itemized quote on the spot. Custom soft treatments take 4 to 6 weeks from order to installation, and our Install Techs steam and dress every panel on install day.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Olathe homeowners
The words are used for the same thing, fabric panels that hang at the window. We call the category Drapery & Soft Treatments, and it covers functional panels, stationary side panels, sheers, Roman Shades, cornices and top treatments, all custom made for your Olathe windows in our own workroom.
Go with them, almost every time. The shade underneath handles the light and the privacy, and the drapery layered over it finishes the window and softens the room. A Roller Shade or a Natural Woven Shade at the glass with panels framing the opening is what most of our drapery work looks like.
Add a blackout liner to the drapery or a Roman Shade and a bedroom gets dark and cozy. Interlined panels do the most light blocking. For a room that has to be as dark as possible, layer the drapery over a blackout shade at the glass so the two work together.
Yes. Fully closed drapery gives you privacy, light control and better insulation, and lined and interlined panels add a real layer between the room and the glass. For the most comfort on a cold or hot window, pair the drapery with a Honeycomb Shade underneath.
Yes. Our Roman Shades feature cordless operation, so there's no loop hanging down for a child or a pet to reach. Automation is available too, if you'd rather never touch them at all.
Yes. The fabric, the lining, the fullness, the size of the window, the hardware, and whether the panels are functional or stationary all go into the price. Your Design Specialist writes a complete and exact quote at the consultation, so you can compare fabrics and linings side by side, and the price holds for 180 days.
