Choosing the Right Drapery Fabric: Expert Window Treatment Consultation
With over 75 years in custom window solutions, we know that selecting the right drapery fabric isn’t just about style — it directly affects how your space functions. During a professional window treatment consultation, our experienced design consultants help you understand how fabric types influence privacy, lighting, energy efficiency, and the overall atmosphere of your home.
Why Fabric Selection Shouldn’t Be Guesswork
As window treatment specialists, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners choose drapery that performs well for years — not just looks good on day one. From light-filtering linen to insulating velvet, each fabric brings different benefits. Our in-home consultants provide personalized guidance based on room conditions like sun exposure, usage, and décor goals — backed by hands-on experience.
Popular Drapery Fabrics We Recommend
Cotton & Cotton Blends
Highly versatile and breathable, cotton works in nearly any room. It’s a great starting point for custom drapery, especially when paired with lining for added privacy or blackout coverage.Linen
Loved for its natural texture and organic elegance, linen softens the room while letting in gentle daylight. However, it can wrinkle — which is why our team often recommends linen blends or structured styles for a neater appearance over time.Velvet
We recommend velvet for homeowners who want both beauty and function. This heavyweight fabric offers excellent insulation and sound dampening, making it perfect for bedrooms, media rooms, or drafty windows.Silk & Faux Silk
Our consultants use real and faux silk for formal dining rooms or statement spaces. We advise on protective lining and installation techniques to ensure silk lasts, especially in rooms with direct sunlight.Polyester
Engineered for durability, polyester is ideal for families, rentals, or high-humidity areas. It holds color well, resists wrinkles, and comes in many finishes — making it a reliable and cost-effective choice.
