Drapery & Curtains

Not sure if you want to buy curtains and drapes online? Trust us – we’ve made the process as smooth and seamless as possible. Start by ordering free sample of your favourite colours and patterns so you can see how they look and feel in person. With our easy measuring guide, taking measurements is a snap! To help you find the perfect custom curtains, here are some tips to keep in mind:

What to Look for When Buying Curtains?

Choosing the right curtains is easy to do once you’ve narrowed down exactly what you need. Here are some questions to ask yourself before you start browsing drapes.

What Are Your Needs?

If you’re looking to add a glamorous finish to your room by layering exquisite drapes over your window blinds or shades, you’ll want to consider what your needs are in the room first. If you need the drapes to block out light, you may want to consider a blackout fabric. If you just want to highlight the window area, sheer curtains are ideal.

Stand Out or Blend In?

Next, you’ll want to decide on the motif. We have bold and striking patterns for a show-stopping look. If your room already has a main focal point, you can always choose from our luxe neutral fabrics for an understated yet elegant look instead. 

What is the Best Length for Curtains?

When it comes to custom curtains, there are three different curtain lengths to choose from:

  • Apron Curtains: Drapes that reach down to about 4” inches below the bottom of the window frame.
  • Floor Length Curtains: Drapes that lightly graze the floor and are usually only about one-quarter of an inch above it.
  • Puddle Length Curtains: Curtains that are intentionally too long and puddle together on the floor.

The best length for your curtains will largely depend on where they are and what your preferences are. In a room like the kitchen, you may want to keep your curtains shorter to avoid getting them dirty. In a living room, you may want floor-length or puddle-length for effect. 

Should Curtains Be Lighter or Darker than Walls?

In the world of interior design, curtains can be either lighter or darker – as long as there is some type of contrast. Aim for custom-made curtains that contrast with the wall rather than match it perfectly. This can make both the drapes and the wall appear dull. The contrast will brighten the room and call even more attention to the curtains you’ve chosen.

What Widths Do Curtains Come In?

The beauty of custom-made curtains is that you can choose the exact right width for you. Most  of our drape panels can be made as wide as 96” each, with some models available as wide as 196”. Ideally, you want two curtain panels for a standard window. 

Both panels together should measure one a half times the width of the entire window to allow you to gather them beautifully on each side and frame the window. If you intend to fully shut the curtains at times, then you’ll want the combined width to be two and half times the width of the window.

Most Popular Curtain Customizations

There are a few customizable features on drapes to consider when choosing the perfect ones for your interior design project. Here are some of our most popular features:

  • Grommet: This style is when the material has metal rings woven into the fabric at the top. It allows the material to slide onto the curtain rod easily and also exposes it a little bit. 
  • Pleated: This style will expose the curtain rod completely, while the material is gathered into sections and is attached to the rod by decorative rings in the colour and finish of your choosing. If you plan to have the curtain drape over the frame of the window, this style works best.
  • Tie Backs: These are matching pieces of your custom made curtains that you can use to gather your drapes on the side and move them away from the centre.
  • Liners: You can add a privacy liner if you want light filtering through while maintaining privacy. Or you can choose a blackout liner if you want to completely block light from entering the room.
  • Rods: Choose from Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze or Satin Nickel to match your new custom drapery to your room, no matter what style or colour scheme you’re working with.

How Do I Hang Curtains?

If you buy drapes online, the next step is to hang them up yourself and we promise, this part is easy! You’ll need to screw in a curtain rod anywhere from three to four inches above the window frame. Then hang your brand new drapes and voilà! 

Why Buy Curtains?

Adding drapes to your window blinds for a layered effect can instantly give your space a more elegant vibe. Layering various materials and textures can also brighten up your room and make your windows stand out. 

You can also customize your space even further by choosing details like grommet or pleated style curtains, tie backs, or combining both thick and sheer materials together for a look that is home décor magazine-worthy.
