Custom Window Treatments
Drakewell Kitchens & Closets designs and installs custom window treatments that fit your windows exactly and match your style preferences. Every piece is handmade to order, with fabrics, hardware, and installation methods chosen for your specific rooms. The process starts with an in-home consultation, during which we measure your windows and discuss how you use each space.
Beautiful Rooms Start with Custom Window Coverings
Custom window coverings transform rooms through carefully chosen fabrics that work with your existing furnishings and architectural details. Flowing silks soften contemporary spaces, while structured linens create crisp lines that complement modern furniture. Pattern choices can coordinate with current room elements or introduce fresh colors that revitalize the space.
We'll consider how each room functions throughout the day and in every season during the design process. Bedrooms often require blackout capabilities for restful sleep, while living areas benefit from light-filtering fabrics that maintain privacy during evening hours. We’ll evaluate how natural light moves through your home at different times to ensure treatments enhance rather than fight against your daily routines.
Fabric Selection
Choosing fabric is the biggest decision we’ll make during this process because fabric determines how your treatments look, hang, and wear over time. Natural fibers like silk, linen, and cotton breathe well and accept dye for rich colors. Synthetic blends offer improved durability and fade resistance while maintaining the look and feel of natural materials.
Fabric weight affects how treatments hang and respond to air movement from heating and cooling systems. Heavier fabrics create deeper folds and provide better insulation. Lighter materials are typically less insulating but offer gentle light diffusion.
Window Treatment Hardware
Curtain and drapery hardware provides the foundation that supports your window treatments throughout their lifetime. Rod selection considers the weight of fabric, span distance, and room style to create installations that work properly and look great. During installation, we account for wall construction and window frame materials.

Flexible Custom Window Treatment Style Options
Custom window fashions offer unlimited design possibilities that ready-made window treatments cannot match. We plan every aspect, from fabric selection and hanging methods to operating systems and finishing details that make each installation distinctly yours:
- Traditional rod pocket styles create classic gathered looks that work beautifully in formal dining rooms and traditional living spaces.
- Contemporary grommet tops provide clean lines and easy operation while maintaining sophisticated appeal in modern interiors.
- Elegant pinch pleats add structured formality that complements tailored furniture and architectural millwork.
- Motorized operation systems handle large or hard-to-reach windows while integrating seamlessly with smart home technology.
- Blackout linings provide inky darkness for restful sleep in bedrooms and optimal viewing conditions in media rooms.
- Thermal linings improve energy efficiency by creating insulation barriers that reduce heating and cooling costs.
- Custom sizing accommodates unusual window dimensions and ceiling heights for proportions that make rooms appear larger.
