Drapery & Soft Treatments In Washington
Drapery & Curtains in Washington, IL
A two story great room in a newer Washington, Illinois home has a lot of hard surface and a lot of glass, and fabric is what makes it feel finished. Our Solar Shield Blinds Drapery & Soft Treatments, from drapes and curtains to Roman Shades and cornices, are cut and sewn in our own workroom and hung by our own Install Techs.
Where It Fits In Washington
Where Drapery & Soft Treatments Fit In Washington
Fabric works in an older living room near the Square as well as in a new great room, and it layers over a shade or stands on its own.
- Tall Great RoomsPanels hung near the ceiling and run to the floor bring a tall wall of glass into proportion, and a motorized traverse rod handles the ones you can't reach.
- BedroomsBlackout lined panels or a blackout lined Roman Shade darken a bedroom, and a cornice on top stops the light leaking over the top.
- Living Rooms Near DowntownStationary side panels add color and softness beside an older window without covering the glass or the trim.
- Window Seats And BenchesWe sew cushions for window seats, kitchen benches and banquettes from the same fabrics as the drapery.
Fabric And Lining
Sewn in our own workroom, hung and dressed in your home
Most drapery we make hangs alongside a shade, with the shade handling light and privacy and the fabric finishing the window. We source fabric from mills around the world, and with thousands of custom fabrics, your Design Specialist helps you narrow it down at your own windows.
Lining decides how a panel performs. Unlined fabric is translucent and fades over time, lined panels hang better and block more light, and interlined panels are heavier still. Fabric also softens the echo in a room with hard floors and big windows, which makes a real difference in a new open floor plan.
Our Install Techs hang the drapery on install day, then steam each panel and dress the folds by hand until they fall evenly. Roman Shades come in six styles, all cordless, and you can plan on 4 to 6 weeks from order to install.

Straight Answers
Drapery & Soft Treatments questions from Washington homeowners
Yes. Panels hung high make the room look taller and the window bigger, and on a rod that's out of reach we recommend a motorized traverse rod so you can open and close the panels with a button.
Yes, six. The Classic Roman folds flat and shows off a pattern, the Pleated London, Hobbled, Knife Pleat and Ribbed Pleat suit solid or textured fabric, and the Relaxed Roman wants a drapery weight fabric. All of them are cordless.
Yes. Window seat, bench and banquette cushions and pillows are sewn from the same fabrics, and we measure the seat in your home the same way we measure a window.
Yes. Fully functional lined or interlined panels put a layer of fabric between you and cold glass, which helps an older room near downtown feel warmer on a winter night.
Yes. A cornice cuts the light that leaks over the top of a shade or drapery, and it can go over almost any window treatment or over a bare window.
No. Dust from the top down with a feather duster or soft cloth, and blot small stains with a damp white cloth. Some fabrics need professional dry cleaning, so check our Use & Maintenance Guide first.
