Custom Drapery & Hardware
Ripplefold Drapery
Ripplefold drapery is defined by its clean, continuous waves and smooth track operation, making it one of the most modern, tailored ways to soften a room. It’s especially ideal for wide Chicago windows and sliding doors, where you want refined movement, consistent folds, and a finished look that feels architectural, not fussy.
• Clean, Modern Drapery
Ripplefold creates soft, even waves for a streamlined look that feels tailored and architectural, not fussy.
• Effortless, Everyday Operation
Designed to glide smoothly on track systems, it’s ideal for wide windows, frequent use, and motorization-ready setups.
• Consistent Folds, Always
The heading is engineered for uniform spacing, so the drapery stacks neatly when open and hangs beautifully when closed.
• Perfect for Large Openings
An excellent solution for sliding doors, picture windows, and long expanses where you want softness without bulk.
• Designed In-Home for Proportion
We specify fullness, track placement, and fabric weight to match your ceiling height, trim, and furnishings, so it feels custom to the room, not cookie-cutter.
Pinch pleat drapery is the classic tailored silhouette: structured at the top, soft through the body, and designed to feel timeless in any room. It’s especially well-suited to Chicago homes with millwork, higher ceilings, and architectural details, offering a finished, design-forward look that layers beautifully with sheers, shades, and blackout linings.
Pinch Pleat Drapery
• A Timeless, Tailored Look
Pinch pleats create structured elegance at the header with soft, graceful drape below, a classic that never feels trendy.
• Elevates Architectural Rooms
Especially beautiful with Chicago millwork, taller ceilings, and vintage trim, adding proportion and polish to the window.
• Ideal for Layering
Pairs seamlessly with sheers, Roman shades, or roller shades, creating depth and a more complete, “finished room” feel.
• Better Light + Privacy Control
Add linings and interlinings for blackout, insulation, and a richer drape, customized to how the room is used.
• Designer-Specified Details
Pleat style, fullness, stackback, and hardware are tailored in-home so the panels hang correctly and function beautifully day to day.
Grommet Drapery
Grommet drapery delivers a clean, modern look with a relaxed attitude. The metal-ring header creates soft, even folds and smooth operation, making it a great option for Chicago homes that want simplicity, durability, and an unfussy finish, especially in casual living spaces, bedrooms, and rentals that still deserve good design.
• Clean, Modern Lines
Grommets create consistent, easy folds for a streamlined look that feels contemporary and intentional.
• Smooth, Simple Operation
Panels slide easily on the rod, ideal for everyday use and rooms where you open and close drapery often.
• Great for Casual, Lived-In Spaces
A perfect fit for relaxed living rooms, bedrooms, and family spaces where you want softness without formality.
• Durable, Practical Header
The ring construction holds up well over time and keeps the top edge looking crisp and structured.
• Designed to Feel Finished
We guide fabric weight, rod diameter, and panel fullness so the drapery hangs beautifully and doesn’t look “off-the-shelf.”
Rod Pocket Drapery
• Soft, Classic Drape
The pocket header creates gentle gathering for a warm, traditional look that feels easy and inviting.
• Ideal for Light, Airy Fabrics
Especially beautiful in linens and cottons, where texture and movement do the styling work.
• Best for “Mostly Closed” Windows
Rod pockets aren’t meant for constant opening and closing, perfect for rooms where drapery stays in place.
• A Cozy Fit for Vintage Spaces
Complements older Chicago architecture and smaller-scale rooms with a relaxed, homey finish.
• Tailored Details Still Matter
We specify rod diameter, pocket depth, and panel fullness so the drapery hangs correctly and doesn’t feel improvised.
Rod pocket drapery is a softer, more relaxed classic, ideal when you want fabric to feel warm, simple, and quietly traditional. The header slides directly onto the rod, creating gentle gathering and an easy, lived-in look that works beautifully in Chicago bedrooms, breakfast nooks, and charming vintage spaces where the mood is calm and practical.
Sheer Drapery
Sheer drapery is the easiest way to make a room feel brighter, softer, and more finished without blocking the day. It diffuses harsh light, reduces glare, and adds a layer of privacy while keeping the outside world present, a perfect fit for Chicago living rooms, condos, and street-facing windows where you want glow without the fishbowl effect.
• Softens Light, Preserves the View
Filters daylight into a gentle glow while keeping sightlines open and airy.
• Adds Privacy Without Feeling Closed In
A smart layer for street-facing windows when you want softness and discretion, not darkness.
• Elevates the Room Instantly
Adds height, texture, and movement, making windows feel intentional and architectural.
• Perfect for Layering
Pair with roller shades, Roman shades, or blackout drapery for flexible day-to-night control.
• Designed for the Right Opacity
We guide weave, translucency, and fullness so the sheers feel refined, not see-through in the wrong way.
Cornice Boards & Valances
Cornice boards and valances are the finishing layer that makes a window feel truly built-in. They clean up the top of the installation, conceal hardware, and add architectural structure, a perfect move for Chicago homes with strong trim, vintage detailing, or any space where you want the window to look intentional from every angle.
• A Built-In, Architectural Finish
Adds structure and polish at the top of the window, making treatments feel custom and complete.
• Conceals Hardware Cleanly
Hides tracks, rods, and mounting details for a streamlined look, especially valuable with motorization or layered treatments.
• Enhances Proportion and Height
Can visually raise the window and strengthen symmetry, a designer trick that changes the whole room.
• Endless Fabric and Trim Options
Upholstered, banded, piped, or tailored to match drapery, wallpaper, or furniture for a cohesive interior story.
• Ideal for Layered Window Plans
Pairs beautifully with sheers + blackout drapery or shades + panels, creating a refined “finished room” result.
Drapery Hardware
Drapery hardware is more than a support system, it’s the architecture that makes the whole installation feel intentional. The right rod, track, and finish determine how drapery moves, how it stacks, and how it reads in the room, especially in Chicago homes where proportions, trim, and daily use matter as much as style.
• Movement Matters
The right system glides smoothly and consistently, especially on wide windows, sliders, and everyday-use spaces.
• Designed for Proper Proportion
Rod diameter, bracket depth, and mounting height are specified to fit your window scale and ceiling lines, so it looks “built for the room.”
• Finishes That Coordinate
Hardware becomes part of the overall palette, tying into lighting, plumbing, and cabinet finishes for a cohesive look.
• Supports Layering + Motorization
Tracks and rods can be planned for sheers, blackout layers, and motorized operation without visual clutter.
• Performance You Don’t Have to Think About
Strong, stable hardware prevents sagging, improves stackback, and keeps everything operating beautifully over time.
Motorized Drapery
Motorized drapery brings the most dramatic window treatment into the easiest daily routine. With quiet, smooth movement and precise control, it’s ideal for wide Chicago windows, high ceilings, and layered installations where you want convenience without compromising on softness, proportion, or design.
• Effortless Control, One Touch
Open or close one panel or a full wall of drapery with consistent, smooth movement.
• Ideal for Wide Windows and Tall Ceilings
Perfect for large openings, sliders, and hard-to-reach windows where manual operation is inconvenient.
• Cleaner Look, Less Wear
No tugging or handling fabric daily, which helps panels stay aligned and looking fresh longer.
• Designed for Layering
Pair motorized drapery with sheers, blackout liners, or shades for flexible day-to-night control.
• Quietly Integrated
We coordinate track selection, power approach, and installation details so the system feels seamless, not techy.
