Where It Fits In Springfield
Where Drapery Fits In Springfield
Soft treatments work in every room, and they make the biggest difference in the rooms you spend the most time in.
- Formal Living And Dining RoomsIf your home on the Historic West Side has a formal living or dining room, full length drapery panels hung from hardware up near the ceiling make the room look taller and more finished.
- Rooms With Hard FloorsHardwood, tile and big windows make a room echo. Lined drapery panels soften that noise and make the room more comfortable to sit and talk in.
- Window Seats And Kitchen BenchesOur workroom makes custom bench seat cushions in any shape, so a window seat or a kitchen banquette can become the favorite spot in the house.
- BedroomsWith a blackout liner in your drapery or Roman Shades, the bedroom stays dim on summer mornings when the sun comes up early.
Fabric And Lining
What goes into a custom drapery project
Our soft treatments for Springfield homes include working drapery panels, stationary side panels, Roman Shades, cornices, valances, pillows and bench seat cushions. Most of our drapery goes up alongside a shade, where the shade handles the light at the glass and the fabric finishes the room. Side panels frame the window and hide the shade hardware, and a cornice over the top adds a pop of color and helps cut the light leaking in above a bedroom shade.
Lining is an important decision. Light shows through unlined fabric, and the sun fades it over time. Lining helps a panel hang well, keep light out and last longer, and interlined drapery is heavier still for the rooms where the fabric needs to block real light. Roman Shades come in six styles, from the flat Classic to the Relaxed, Pleated London, Hobbled, Knife Pleat and Ribbed Pleat, and your Design Specialist will help you pick the one that suits your fabric.
We source fabric from mills around the world, and through our COM program we can also use a fabric you've already found somewhere else. On install day, our team dresses and steams every panel and shade so it lays soft and stacks properly. Plan on 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and your Design Specialist will give you an exact quote at your free in-home consultation.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Springfield homeowners
Yes. Our COM program, customer's own material, means we can take a fabric you love and make it into drapery, Roman Shades, pillows or cushions. Your Design Specialist will confirm the fabric works for the product you want.
In most rooms, yes. Lined panels hang nicer, keep out more light, and hold up longer than unlined fabric, which lets light through and fades. For a bedroom, a blackout liner makes the room dark enough to sleep in.
Yes. Side panels are a great way to finish a window that already has a shade, blind or shutter. They frame the opening and hide the hardware, and a cornice or top treatment can go over any of them.
No. Our Roman Shades use cordless operation to keep kids and pets safe, and we can make them even easier to use with our Automation options.
Yes. Our team installs the hardware, hangs every panel and shade, and dresses and steams the fabric so it lays soft and stacks properly. When you want a room to look taller, we mount the hardware up near the ceiling and hang full length panels to the floor.
They can. Lined and interlined panels closed over the glass add a layer of insulation at the window, which helps on a cold winter night and on a hot afternoon. Pair them with a shade at the glass for the most comfort.
