A window treatment should complement the look of a room. Whether you are looking for a light and airy feel with soft fabrics or dramatic folds that puddle on the floor, we have options to fit your style. Our curtains and drapes work well alone or in combination with other types of windows treatments, like roman, solar, roller, cellular, or woven wood shades.
Curtains come in a wide range of styles, fabrics, patterns, and levels of transparency to coordinate with any room decor. They work well for casual and more formal interior design styles, like French country, mid-century modern, or Hollywood glam. Many curtains have built in pleats or folds that create a soft, voluminous appearance. They are easy to hang with a decorative rod, and can be stacked on the right, left, or both sides of a window.
Drapes, also known as drapery, are tailored to fit a window Calgary Custom Window Coverings, offering a custom, elegant appearance. These window treatments are typically made from thicker, more luxurious fabrics and can be made to any length or opacity. They can also be fitted with custom hardware to accommodate unique or odd-sized windows.
The difference between blinds and drapes is that drapes can be hung with a rod that reaches to the floor or can be ordered to puddle slightly on the ground. This makes them ideal for rooms where visual privacy is an important consideration, such as bedrooms or media rooms. Drapes are also a good choice for rooms where insulation and energy control is a priority, such as living or dining areas.
Like curtains, drapes are available in a wide range of colors, fabrics, and patterns to complement any decorating style, from contemporary to rustic. They can be paired with roman, roller, or cellular shades for enhanced light and privacy control, and layered to add depth and drama to any room.
Blinds, on the other hand, are more streamlined and functional than drapes, and provide an excellent option for rooms where window privacy is less of a concern. They can be used by themselves or in combination with a variety of other window treatment styles, and are an especially great solution for smaller spaces where curtains wouldn’t fit.
Blinds are durable and hard-wearing, allowing them to last for years with minimal maintenance. They are more resistant to staining and fading than fabric curtains, and are less prone to mold growth. Blinds are also easier to clean than curtains, and require fewer maintenance steps. They also have a longer lifespan than drapes, which can need replacing within a decade or less. We recommend removing your blinds periodically and cleaning them with a mild soap and water mixture, and using a mild detergent on stubborn stains. For complete peace of mind, our experts can also professionally clean your window treatments for you. This is a great option for busy homeowners who want to ensure their window treatments are always looking their best.
