Drapery & Soft Treatments In Shawnee

Drapery & Soft Treatments in Shawnee, KS

Custom drapery, drapes and curtains add the softness a Shawnee room is missing. Two story family room glass in a 1990s home echoes when the room is empty of fabric, and our Solar Shield Blinds Drapery & Soft Treatments are cut and sewn in our own workroom to the size of your window.

Where It Fits In Shawnee

Where drapes and curtains fit in a Shawnee home

Fabric is the finishing layer, and in Shawnee it goes on picture windows in the older ranches, tall glass in the 1990s homes, and bedrooms in the new builds.

  • Picture windows near downtownPanels on either side of an east side ranch's picture window frame the view of the street trees, over a Roller Shade that handles the daytime glare.
  • Tall family rooms in WoodsoniaFloor to ceiling panels on a two story wall soften the sound and the look of a room with a lot of glass and hard surfaces.
  • Primary bedrooms in Clear CreekLined or interlined drapery over a Honeycomb Shade takes a new bedroom from bright at sunrise to dark, with the shade doing the daily work.
  • Dining rooms and window seatsA Roman shade gives a dining room a tailored look, and bench cushions and pillows in the same fabric pull a window seat together.

Worth Knowing

Lining, layering and fabric for Shawnee rooms

Drapery panels, curtains, Roman shades, cornices and top treatments, along with pillows and bench seat cushions to match, all add color and texture to a room. We have thousands of custom fabrics, and your Design Specialist brings them to the house so you can judge the weight and the color against your own paint and floors. A picture window in an east side ranch and a two story wall in a 1990s family room each get fabric made to their size.

Lining is the first real decision. Unlined panels are decorative, let light through and will fade, which can be fine in a dining room. Lined panels hang better and block more light, and interlining adds one more layer for the most light blocking, which is what a primary bedroom needs when the summer sun comes up early. Many Shawnee 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 or Roller Shade and put both on the same quote. The consultation is free, every window is measured, and the price holds 180 days. Soft treatments take 4 to 6 weeks, and our Install Techs hang, steam and hand dress every panel so it falls evenly and stacks neatly.

Straight Answers

Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Shawnee homeowners

Yes. Floor length panels on a two story wall add soft surface to a room full of glass and drywall, and they change how the room looks and sounds. We hang the rod high and run the panels to the floor so the wall reads as one piece.

Yes. Unlined fabric glows when the morning sun hits it instead of blocking it. Lined drapery blocks real light, interlined goes further, and a blackout liner makes the room dark.

Yes. It folds up in soft pleats for a tailored look with no slats and no floor length panels. The Classic Roman suits a patterned fabric, and the Hobbled and Pleated London styles look best in a solid or a texture.

Yes. Bench seat cushions and pillows come from the same fabric library, so a window seat can have the shade, the cushion and the pillows in one fabric. All of it is sewn in our own workroom.

Yes. Through our COM program, meaning customer own material, the workroom can make your drapery or Roman shades out of it. Bring it out when your Design Specialist arrives and the plan starts from that fabric.

Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee covers every panel and Roman shade with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, five years of free defect service, and coverage the next owner keeps.
