Working with a local drapery store means you can see and touch materials before making a decision. Photos online mislead you about texture, weight, and how light filters through fabric. We bring samples to your home so you can see how fabrics look in your actual space with your lighting.

Custom drapery construction differs from ready-made panels. We measure your windows precisely, taking into account ceiling height and floor clearance, and create treatments that fit your space exactly. Proper fullness in the fabric creates the desired look when drapes are closed and ensures smooth operation when they are opened. Lining options add insulation, block light, or protect face fabric from sun damage.

The hardware you choose affects how your window treatments operate and how long they last, so we source components that handle the weight of your fabric while complementing your room’s style:

• Rod diameter matters when you hang heavy fabrics like velvet or layered treatments, as thin rods bend under weight and cause drapes to stick or hang unevenly.
• We calculate the span between brackets and fabric weight to recommend the correct diameter for smooth operation.
• Finials cap the ends of your rods and come in styles from simple spheres to elaborate scrollwork that ties together the room’s overall look.
• Mounting brackets determine how your treatments hang and the amount of clearance you have from the wall.
• Standard brackets work for most situations, but bay windows, corner installations, or ceiling mounts have specific requirements.
• Motorized track systems provide convenience for accessing hard-to-reach windows or for individuals with mobility limitations.

We measure your windows, inspect the wall construction, and select mounting systems that provide a secure hold. Rods, brackets, and finials undergo daily wear and tear as you open and close drapes, so quality matters.

Custom upholstery lets you create furniture pieces sized for your space and styled for your taste, since standard furniture comes in limited sizes that might feel too large or too small for your room:

• We upholster custom pieces, whether that means a window seat for a particular nook or a bench for the end of your bed
• Foam density affects comfort and the ability of cushions to maintain their shape over time.
• Upholstery fabrics are prone to abrasion from daily use and body oils that can cause staining.
• Performance fabrics repel spills and withstand wear while offering attractive patterns and textures.

We discuss your intended use and explain durability ratings so you can choose appropriately for your lifestyle. Fabric choice for upholstery involves different considerations than window treatments.

Reupholstery makes sense when you have a well-built piece with good bones but worn or outdated fabric. Quality vintage furniture often has better construction than current mass-produced pieces. We assess whether your piece justifies the investment, examining frame condition, spring systems, and structural integrity.

The reupholstery process starts with stripping old fabric and examining what lies underneath. Sometimes we discover issues that the previous upholstery had hidden. We repair or replace damaged webbing, retie springs, and add new padding where the original has compressed. This restoration returns proper support and comfort to your furniture.
