Drapery & Soft Treatments In Pekin
Drapery & Curtains in Pekin, IL
Drapery, curtains, Roman Shades, cornices and bench seat cushions bring color, pattern and softness to a room that a hard window treatment can't on its own. Our Solar Shield Blinds team plans, sews and installs custom drapery for homes across Pekin, Illinois, from formal front rooms downtown to family rooms by the golf course.
Where It Fits In Pekin
Where Fabric Finishes A Pekin Room
A formal parlor in a Washington Street home and a great room at Sunset Hills ask very different things of a drapery panel, and fabric earns its place in both.
- Formal Front RoomsOlder homes with original woodwork have rooms built for drapery, and lined panels hung high make the most of the ceiling height.
- Great Rooms With Tall GlassIn a big open room, full length panels soften the echo and bring a wall of windows down to a comfortable scale.
- Window SeatsA cushion for the window seat can be sewn from the same fabric as the panels hanging beside it.
- Panels Over A ShadeSide panels frame the window and cover the shade hardware, and the shade underneath handles the light and privacy.
Style And Texture
Cut and sewn in our own workroom
Our own workroom cuts and sews every drapery panel, Roman Shade, cornice and cushion we sell, always in drapery weight fabric and never off a store shelf. There are thousands of custom fabrics to pick from, and many are stocked in the workroom and ready to cut. If you have a look in mind, our team can plan it, sew it and hang it.
Lining comes down to the room. Light shines through an unlined panel and the sun will fade it. A lining makes the panel drape better and hold back more light, and interlining adds weight for rooms that need real darkness. A blackout lined Roman Shade makes a bedroom dark and cozy, which is worth knowing for a bedroom that faces east.
Soft treatments need care on install day. Soft treatment installation is a focus of our Install Techs' training, and they steam and hand dress each panel after it's hung so the folds fall even. The fabric books come to your Pekin living room with your Design Specialist, and the exact quote is written there too.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Pekin homeowners
Yes. Lined fabric absorbs some of the bouncing sound from hardwood floors and large windows, and full panels on each side of a window change how the room sounds as much as how it looks.
Yes. A rod near the ceiling, or about two thirds of the way up from the top of the trim, with panels falling to the floor makes the wall read taller and the room feel larger.
Yes. Through our COM program, short for customers own material, we'll sew drapery, Roman Shades or cushions from fabric you supply.
Yes. Our Roman Shades operate cordless, so there's no loop for a child or a pet to catch, and they can also be motorized.
Yes. A panel only as wide as the window hangs flat and looks thin, and two to two and a half times the width of the opening gives the full, soft folds that make drapery look right.
Yes, and much of our drapery work is planned that way. A Roller Shade or Natural Woven Shade at the glass controls the light, and the panels frame the window, with the hardware for both planned together.
