Drapery & Soft Treatments In Peoria
Drapery & Curtains in Peoria, IL
Drapery, curtains, Roman Shades, cornices and bench seat cushions add color, texture and style to any room, and they finish a window in a way a hard treatment can't on its own. Our Solar Shield Blinds team plans, sews and installs custom drapes for homes all over Peoria, Illinois.
Where It Fits In Peoria
Where Drapery Makes The Biggest Difference In Peoria
Peoria's downtown lofts and its historic homes are very different spaces, and fabric has a job to do in both of them.
- Warehouse District LoftsThe Warehouse District buildings date from the 1880s through the 1920s, and a converted loft there can have exposed brick, hardwood floors and steel casement windows. Lined drapery softens the sound in a room full of hard surfaces.
- Living And Dining RoomsFull length panels hung close to the ceiling draw your eye up and make the room feel taller than it measures.
- Window Seats And BanquettesBench seat cushions come out of the same fabric library as the drapery, so the cushion and the panels beside it coordinate.
- Over An Existing ShadeSide panels frame the window, cover the hardware at the sides, and give the shade underneath a finished, layered look.
Style And Texture
Custom Made In Our Own Workroom
Every panel, Roman Shade, cornice and cushion we sell is cut and sewn in our own workroom from drapery weight fabrics, and nothing is stock or ready made. We have thousands of custom fabrics to choose from, and many of them are stocked in our workroom and ready for your project. If you can think it, our team can plan, create, and install it for you!
Lining depends on the room. Unlined fabric is translucent and it will fade, a lined panel hangs better and blocks more light, and an interlined panel is heavier again for real light blocking work. In a bedroom, a blackout lined Roman Shade makes the room dark and cozy.
Drapery and soft treatments need a specific attention to detail on install day. Our Install Techs are trained with soft treatment installation as a focus, and every panel is steamed and hand dressed on site so it lays soft and stacks evenly. Your Design Specialist brings the fabric books to your Peoria home, and you'll have an exact quote before we leave.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Peoria homeowners
Yes. Lined fabric softens the bouncing noise that hard floors and big windows create, and two full panels on either side of a window change how a room sounds and feels. Your Design Specialist will help you choose the lining for each window.
Yes, and higher than you'd expect. Mounting the rod near the ceiling, or around two thirds of the way up from the window trim, and letting the panels fall all the way to the floor makes the wall read taller and the whole room feel bigger.
Yes. Our COM program, customers own material, lets you bring a fabric you already love to the consultation, and we'll build your drapery, Roman Shades or cushions from it in our own workroom.
Yes. Our Roman Shades feature cordless operation, so there's no loop hanging down for a child or a pet to reach, and they can be automated if you'd rather not touch them at all.
Yes. A panel that is only 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 soft folds that make drapery look full, and your Design Specialist plans the fullness for every window.
Yes, and that's what most of our drapery work looks like. A Roller Shade or a Natural Woven Shade at the glass handles the light and privacy, and the panels over it frame the window and soften the room. Your Design Specialist plans the shade and the drapery together so the hardware for both fits the window.
