When you choose custom drapes in Colorado Springs, you’re investing in a solution that’s essential to getting the style and design of your home just right. After all, custom drapes are an important element that coordinates with other features in a room including flooring, furniture, walls, and décor. In Part 1, we’ll cover the top two ways to style your windows with custom drapes and review other important features and options.

Option 1: Cover the Tops of Your Windows with a Valance

For some windows, a pop of color or pattern covering the top of the window is all that’s needed. A window valance is a perfect solution for kitchen windows, bathrooms, bay windows, or other small windows throughout your home. For added privacy, use blinds or shades in combination with a colorful valance. The valance hides the blinds when they’re raised and they can be easily lowered to block the sun or offer an extra layer of privacy.

Option 2: Style the Sides of Your Windows with Custom Drapes Panels

The second popular option homeowners choose is custom drapes to style the sides of windows and add dimension to a room. Custom drapes in Colorado Springs are perhaps the most popular choice because of the flexibility they offer.

Use custom drapes to accent the sides of a window or make them fully functional. Functional drapes can open and close during the day or evening to block sun glare or offer privacy at night. You may also combine valances and window drapes for the perfect frame over your window and view.

Other Popular Options – Roman Shades

Besides valances and drapery panels, another stylish option is roman shades. These shades are the perfect combination of drapery meets shade. Roman shades can be customized to fit your window and offer the elegance of drapes with the convenience of a shade.

Choose from a variety of textiles, natural materials, and patterns for soft or bold styles to complement your room’s décor.  These shades can also be used with valances or drapes for an extra stylish layer.

Quick Note: Hardware Matters

Let’s not forget, when choosing custom drapes, it’s important to pay attention to the small details. Stylish and functional window hardware is a critical element to enhance the final product. Beautiful hardware complements and extenuates your custom drapes and valances. Cheap hardware may leave you with functionality issues and distract from the beauty and design of your new window drapes.
