Where It Fits In Platte City
Where drapes and curtains fit in a Platte City home
Fabric is the finishing layer, and in Platte City it goes up in the great rooms of the newer homes, the living rooms of the older ranches and the primary bedrooms everywhere.
- Two story great roomsFloor length panels hung high on tall glass bring a great room down to a comfortable scale, with a shade behind them for the glare.
- Ranch living roomsA pair of lined panels on each side of the main window in a ranch near downtown frames it and warms the room.
- Primary bedroomsLined or interlined drapery over a Honeycomb Shade takes a bedroom from bright at dawn to dark enough to sleep.
- Dining rooms and window seatsA Roman shade gives a dining room a tailored look, and bench cushions and pillows can be sewn from the same fabric.
Worth Knowing
Lining, layering and fabric for Platte City rooms
Drapery panels, curtains, Roman shades, cornices and top treatments, plus pillows and bench seat cushions to match, all add color, texture and style. We have thousands of custom fabrics, and your Design Specialist brings the samples to the house so you see the weight and color against your own walls and floors. A wide window in a ranch near the courthouse and a two story wall of glass in Seven Bridges both get fabric made to their size.
Lining is the first real decision. An unlined panel is decorative, lets light through and will fade over time, which can be fine in a dining room. A lined panel hangs better and blocks more light, and interlined adds another layer for the most light blocking, which is what a primary bedroom needs in June. A lot of Platte City clients layer drapery over a shade, so the shade handles glare and privacy and the fabric handles the look.
Unlined panels show the room at night and do little for a cold window, so where that matters we pair them with a Honeycomb Shade or a Roller Shade and put both on one quote. The consultation is free, every opening is measured, and the price holds for 180 days. Soft treatments take 4 to 6 weeks, and our Install Techs hang, steam and dress every panel so it falls evenly and stacks right.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Platte City homeowners
Yes. Panels hung high and run to the floor give tall walls a soft edge and pull the room down to scale. Your Design Specialist plans the rod height and the fullness with you at the visit.
Yes, for a room you sleep in. Unlined fabric glows when the sun comes up instead of blocking it, lined drapery blocks real light, and a blackout liner makes the room dark.

Yes. Bench seat cushions and pillows come from the same fabric library as the drapery and Roman shades, and everything is cut and sewn in our own workroom.
