Made to measure for your windows

Custom Made Drapery

Transform your space with beautifully crafted custom drapery made to fit your window’s style and home perfectly. Choose from an extensive selection of premium fabrics, colors and designs, professionally measured and installed for a truly custom finish.

Drapery is four decisions, not one: the panel, the fabric, the hardware it hangs from, and whether a slider wants panels at all. We bring the whole library to your living room, so you choose all four together.

The panels

Drapery Panels

Floor-to-ceiling softness, sewn to measure.

Every option, one window

The anatomy of a drapery panel.

Why homeowners choose it

Made for the way you live.

Nothing finishes a room like full-height drapery. Our panels are sewn to your exact drop and fullness (ripple fold, pinch pleat or back tab), lined as standard, and hung so they break perfectly at the floor.

Sewn to order
True custom panels: your fabric, your pleat, your exact length.
Height & drama
Full-height drapery draws the eye up and makes ceilings feel taller.
Layer-ready
Pairs beautifully over shades for light control plus softness.
Room-darkening option
Lined and interlined panels for true bedroom darkness.
Hardware to match
Five rod finishes, each with its own finial, plus an aluminium track for a ripple fold that floats.
The heading

Three ways to gather a panel.

The heading is the decision that changes how the whole panel reads, before you have even chosen a fabric. Here is what each one does at the top of the rod.

  • Ripple Fold drapery in a bedroomRipple Fold heading detail

    Ripple Fold

    A continuous S-curve, floor to ceiling.

    Snap tape instead of buckram, so the panel traverses its track frictionlessly and reads as one uninterrupted wave. The cleanest, most contemporary heading we make, and the one that suits a wide opening best.

    • 80% or 100% fullness
    • No buckram, snap tape
    • Centre pleats butt or overlap on a split draw
  • Pinch Pleat drapery in a bedroomPinch Pleat heading detail

    Pinch Pleat

    The tailored classic, hand-tacked.

    A French three-finger pleat, tacked at the top, middle and bottom so it holds its shape for the life of the panel. Hangs from pin hooks, which means it works stationary or on a traversing rod.

    • 250% fullness (300% for sheers)
    • Three-finger French pleat
    • Pin set 1¾″ down from the top
  • Back Tab drapery in a bedroomBack Tab heading detail

    Back Tab

    The rod disappears behind the fabric.

    Tabs are sewn to the back of the panel so the hardware hides completely and the fabric falls in a soft, casual fold. Choose it when you want the drapery to read as fabric alone.

    • Rods up to 3″ diameter
    • Tabs and rod concealed behind the panel
    • 4½″ tabs, with allowance for rod take-up

Past 60″ of width we recommend two panels on a back tab, so no centre support interrupts the draw. Not sure which heading is yours? Your designer brings the samples to the consultation and holds them against your fabric. It is a much easier decision in the room.

The rest of the decision

Hardware, lining, length.

Four choices make a panel: how it gathers, what it hangs from, what sits behind it, and where it stops. The heading is above. Here is everything else, exactly as we offer it.

Hardware

Five rod finishes, and a track that disappears.

Every rod ships with its mounting hardware and extends to the opening. Match the finish to the lighting, the cabinet hardware and the door handles already in the room, and it stops looking like hardware.

  • Antique Bronze

    Round ball finial

  • Satin Nickel

    Teardrop finial

  • Matte Black

    Square step finial

  • White

    Contemporary cylinder finial

  • Brass / Gold

    Modern cylinder finial

  • Architrac track

    An aluminium track for wall or ceiling mount. This is what a ripple fold traverses on, and what makes a panel look like it is floating with no rod at all. It is the right answer for a ceiling-mounted or recessed run.

    Wall mount or Ceiling mount. White, Anodized, Black

Lining

What sits behind the fabric.

Lining is standard on every non-sheer panel we make. It protects the fabric, deepens the fold, and it is not an extra.

  • LF LiningThe standard. Adds body and drape, and takes the sun off the face fabric.2.0 oz/yd²
  • LF PlusHeavier hand for a fuller fall, and more insulation at the glass.7.0 oz/yd²
  • ThermalBuilt for temperature: the one to pick on a west wall or a cold room.5.0 oz/yd², White only
  • Room DarkeningTrue darkness for a bedroom or a media room, without needing a second treatment behind it.7.0 oz/yd²

Available in white, beige, gray.

Length

Where the panel stops.

Four standard drops. Most rooms want floor, but the right answer depends on what is under the window and who walks past it.

  • Sill½″ above the sill

    The shortest standard length. Casual, and it takes up little visual space, which makes it the safe place to be brave with pattern or colour.

  • Apron1″ below the apron

    Crisp and unfussy. Stays clear of the floor entirely, so nothing gathers dust and the panel is easy to open and close.

  • Floor½″ above the floor

    The one most rooms want. It elongates the window, makes the ceiling read taller, and hangs dead straight because it never quite touches down.

  • Puddle6-10″ of extra length

    Luxurious and deliberately dramatic. Best on a panel that stays where it is, not one drawn every day, and not with pets or small children.

Fabric

A wide range of fabrics, and none of them chosen from a screen.

Plains, textures, wide-repeat botanicals and railroaded stripes. Sheers through to heavy 15 oz weaves. The library runs 54″, 94″, 104″, 110″ and 118″ goods, so a wide opening can often be made without a seam. Your designer brings full-size samples to the house. Fabric changes by the hour, and the only light that matters is the light it will actually live in.

  • Linen
  • Cotton
  • Silk
  • Wool blends
  • Viscose
  • Performance polyester

The fabric

Drapery Fabrics

The fabric library, brought to your sofa.

Choosing fabric from a tiny swatch under showroom lighting is how mistakes happen. We bring full-size samples from a wide range of fabrics (linens, cottons, silks, wool blends, sheers and performance weaves), so you see every candidate in your own light, next to your own furniture.

  • See it in your light

    Fabrics change by the hour. Audition them where they’ll live.

  • Curated mills

    A working library from the mills designers actually specify.

  • Performance options

    Kid-, pet-, and sun-proof weaves that still feel luxurious.

  • Honest guidance

    A designer’s eye on drape, weight, and wear, before you commit.

The fabric library

The hardware

Drapery Hardware

Rods, rings, and finials that finish the look.

Hardware is the jewelry of the window, and the rod is not an add-on. It finishes the design. Five finishes, each with its own finial, plus an aluminium track for wall or ceiling. We spec what fits the panel’s weight and the room’s metals, and install it dead level.

  • Five finishes

    Antique bronze, satin nickel, matte black, white and brass, each with its own finial.

  • Rated for the load

    A 15 oz weave over a wide opening is a real weight. We size the rod and the brackets to it.

  • Track, not rod

    Architrac wall or ceiling track in white, anodized or black, a ripple fold with no visible hardware.

  • Installed right

    Anchored into structure, level to the millimeter.

Made to measure

Made to your drop, not a stock length.

Ready-made drapery comes in a handful of stock lengths, and most windows fall somewhere in between. A made-to-measure panel starts from the window itself: the width and the drop are measured first, and the panel is made to those numbers.

  • Fullness set for your heading, so the folds sit evenly across the window
  • Your pleat, your lining, your fabric: specified once and made once
  • Tailored to the inch for every window
  • Measured and hung by professional installers
