Drapery & Soft Treatments In Raymore
Drapery & Soft Treatments in Raymore, MO
Custom drapery, drapes and curtains finish the great room in a newer Raymore home. Tall windows, gray walls and nothing soft anywhere is a common starting point, and our Solar Shield Blinds Drapery & Soft Treatments bring in fabric made in our own workroom, lined for the west sun and hung by our own Install Techs.
Where It Fits In Raymore
Where drapes and curtains fit in Raymore
A new house is mostly hard surfaces, and the quickest way to make the great room, the dining room and the primary bedroom feel finished is fabric at the window.
- Tall great room windowsPanels beside the great room glass in a two story off MO 58 bring the scale of the room down and add color the builder never planned for.
- South facing primary bedroomsLined or interlined drapery is how a south bedroom with no tree cover gets dark on a summer morning.
- Dining rooms off the entryA Roman shade or a cornice over the dining room window gives the formal room a finished look and hides the hardware of the shade underneath.
- Window seats and reading nooksBench cushions and pillows cut from the same fabric as the panels turn a builder's window seat into a favorite spot.
Worth Knowing
Softening a newer home one window at a time
The newer neighborhoods off I-49 and out toward Creekmoor are full of houses with tall windows, white trim, gray walls and shades that do their job without adding any warmth. Drapery is what finishes those rooms. Full height panels beside the great room glass give a two story room some weight at the bottom, a Roman shade softens the dining room, and lined panels in the primary bedroom stop the south sun before it reaches the bed. Fabric also softens the echo that hard floors and big windows create.
You'll decide fabric, lining and hardware. We have thousands of custom fabrics and bring the samples to your house, because a color that looks right in a book can change next to your floors. Lining is where a first time buyer should not cut back. Unlined panels are decorative and will fade, lined panels block light and hang better, and interlined panels are the ones that darken a bedroom. Roman shades, cornices, pillows and bench cushions follow the same fabric choices, and everything is sewn in our own workroom.
Drapery handles style, and for the west sun at supper a screen Roller Shade does the precise work behind the fabric. We design the two together at your free consultation, measure every opening, and write your quote on the spot, with Synchrony financing if you want it and the price held for 180 days. Soft treatments take 4 to 6 weeks from order, and our Install Techs hang, steam and dress every panel on install day.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Raymore homeowners
Yes, it's what makes a new build feel like a home. The great rooms in the neighborhoods off MO 58 have tall glass and hard surfaces, and full height panels beside the windows add color and softness in a way a shade can't. The quote is itemized, so you can do the great room first and the bedrooms later.
Yes, and for a south facing bedroom with no tree cover, consider interlined. Lined panels block light and hang better, and interlined panels are the ones that keep a Raymore bedroom dark on a July morning. A blackout liner takes it further.
For style, yes, but for the west sun at supper you'll still want a screen Roller Shade behind the panels. We design both on the same visit so the rod clears the shade and the fabrics work together, and the quote shows each piece separately.
Yes, from the same thousands of fabrics. A Roman shade suits the smaller windows in a dining room or an office, and our Roman shades use cordless operation, so they're safe for kids and pets. A cornice over a Roller Shade hides the hardware and finishes the top.
Yes. A panel that is exactly as wide as the space it covers hangs flat and looks thin. Two to two and a half times the width of the opening gives you the folds that make fabric look full, and it's the detail most worth spending a little extra on.
Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee covers drapery and soft treatments with a lifetime product warranty, five years of free service on defects, and one Life Happens repair. The coverage transfers to the next owner if you sell.
