Where It Fits In East Peoria
Where Drapery & Soft Treatments Fit In East Peoria
Soft treatments are our go to for living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms, and they finish a window whether it already has a shade or has nothing at all.
- Big Windows On The BluffWhen the view across the river valley is the best thing in the room, stationary side panels frame the window without covering any of the glass.
- BedroomsBlackout lined drapery or a blackout lined Roman Shade gets a bedroom dark for sleeping in, and layering the panels over a blackout shade takes it as dark as it gets.
- Dining RoomsA cornice in a bold color or pattern over the window gives a dining room a finished look, with or without panels below it.
- Rooms That Need More HeightHang the rod close to the ceiling and run the panels all the way to the floor, and the room looks taller than it is.
Fabric And Lining
Fabric finishes a room, and the lining decides how it works
Most of our drapery goes up next to a shade, with the shade handling light and privacy at the glass and the panels finishing the window. We source fabric from mills around the world, and with thousands of custom fabrics to choose from, your Design Specialist will help you narrow it down in your own light.
The lining changes how a panel works. Without one, the fabric is translucent and will fade over time. Lined panels hang better, block more light and last longer, and interlined panels are heavier still for drapery that needs to block real light. Your Design Specialist will tell you which one each room needs.
On install day, our Install Techs hang every panel, then steam and hand dress it in your East Peoria home so the folds fall evenly and the panels stack neatly when open. Roman Shades come in six styles, all with cordless operation. Plan on 4 to 6 weeks from the day you order to the day we install.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from East Peoria homeowners
Yes. We sew cushions for window seats, kitchen benches, banquettes and bay windows, and pillows too, from the same fabrics we use for drapery. We measure the seat on site the same way we measure a window.
Yes. Fully functional panels can close off your windows for privacy, light control and better insulation, and a lined or interlined panel puts the most fabric between you and the glass.
Yes. The Classic Roman folds neatly and lies flat, so the pattern stays easy to read. The Pleated London, Hobbled, Knife Pleat and Ribbed Pleat styles look best in solid or textured fabrics, and the Relaxed Roman wants a drapery weight fabric.
Yes. A motorized traverse rod makes sense on panels that are very wide or very tall, or hung where you can't reach, and Roman Shades can have a motor too. Your Design Specialist will help you decide which windows are worth motorizing.
Yes. A cornice or top treatment cuts down the light that leaks over the top of a shade or drapery, which helps a bedroom get darker. It can go over drapery, blinds, shades, shutters, or a window with nothing else on it.
Yes, for everyday dust. Work from the top down with a feather duster or a soft cloth, and treat a small stain by dabbing it with a clean, damp white cloth rather than rubbing it. Some drapery fabrics need professional dry cleaning, and none should go in the washing machine, so check our Use & Maintenance Guide first.
