Custom Window Treatments

Curtains & Drapery

Having the correct window treatments depend on several factors: the room, the shape of the window and its position to the sun, the style you prefer, and the drapery’s purpose.

Custom window treatments will last for many years and serve multiple purposes — they keep the sun out and the warmth in; they help protect your floors, rugs and furniture from fading; they add pizzazz to any room, “finishing” it off.

They can be practical too. Today’s fabrics offer room darkening options for people who work shifts such as firefighters, police, or medical staff. Also, many fabrics are stain resistant — perfect defense against kids and pets!

If you prefer a simple look, you can hang stationary drapery panels each side of the window, framing it, usually in combination with a blind or shade. Adding embellishment such as fringe or contrasting tape will change the mood of the room from formal to romantic to casual.

In a traditional home you may require more layers of draperies to achieve a sophisticated design. In a warm climate you may want special shades to keep the heat out.

Top Treatments

Full length draperies are not suitable for every application because in a kitchen they may get dirty; in a bathroom there may not be floor space. But in most cases Alisa can design a top treatment that will soften the hard edges of a window, hide the mechanics of another layer, and to draw focus to the window.

There are several choices of top treatment to explore:

• Cornice boards
• Valances
• Pole and swag
• Swags
• Balloon valance
• Lambrequin
• Awning

You can further embellish a top treatment with custom trim that will add an interesting and individual look to the finished product.

Challenging Windows

Alisa can also help with difficult shaped windows, such as bay windows. Bay windows offer the perfect placement for a small seating area or reading nook while taking advantage of the views outside your home. However, due to their shape, bay windows can sometimes pose problems. All Design Co. is able to design custom bay window treatments that match the style of your windows and your home.

Tall windows can also pose difficulties so hiring a design professional is again a sensible decision for a homeowner because Alisa has the resources for scaffolding and certified window treatment installers to make your life easy.

The possibilities are endless and we are here to help you every step of the way. Once we have selected the right window treatment for you, Alisa will take all the measurements, place the orders and our talented fabricators will get to work to ensure that the designs are built to your specifications. We then deliver and install the products to your satisfaction.
