Custom drapes add elegance and sophisticated style to your windows. While you frequently see drapery in more formal rooms, your draperies can also be casual. Drapes offer a variety of benefits, and Harmony Blinds and Shutters, Inc. is happy to provide upscale custom drapes in San Diego, CA.
Benefits of Drapery
You may think of drapery solely for aesthetic purposes or to control light, but they’re essential for many reasons. In addition to looking great and keeping the sun out of your eyes, you can rely on draperies to:
- Improve your sleep - You get the best sleep in a dark room, and drapery blocks light from passing cars and streetlights. Draperies also keep the rising sun from interrupting your chance to sleep in on a Saturday.
- Provide privacy - Bedrooms and bathrooms are given locations when needing privacy, but your privacy is vital in other areas of your home, too. Custom drapes allow you to keep family dinners and movie nights from being public events.
- Reduce noise - Do you live on a busy street or have noisy neighbors? Drapery absorbs sound to give you more peace and tranquility in your home, where you need them the most.
- Increase security - We all know that locks on doors help prevent intruders from entering our homes, but your drapes can also increase your home’s security. “Smash and grab” burglars work based on opportunity, and if they aren’t able to see it, they’re far less likely to try taking it.
- Keep your home cleaner - What? We said that right; draperies can keep your home cleaner. Window screens keep big things, like insects, from entering open windows, but dust and dirt can fly right in. Even if your drapes are partially open, they will stop a lot of debris from getting inside.
Why Choose Custom Made Drapes?
Most people spend thousands of dollars replacing their windows because they want the highest quality. Window treatments, on the other hand, are given far less consideration. Sure, you can buy drapes from your local retail store, but they’re not going to come close to the quality or customization you’ll get from custom drapes. Draperies from big box stores are mass-manufactured to be cost-effective. This focus on profit equates to lower quality for you. Custom made drapes receive personal attention from skilled artisans.
Custom drapery fits your windows like a glove. Premade drapes fit more like a mitten; they’ll fit but not nearly as well as a tailored glove. Believe it or not, every window in your home measures slightly differently than the others. Our experts will take precise measurements to ensure your drapes are the exact width and length you need. Custom draperies also require no compromises. You choose the fabric, the hardware, and every other detail. Drapes that are ready to go are available in whatever the manufacturer thinks will be the most popular.

Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery are available in a vast array of materials, including exclusive fabric designs from industry-leading designers like Seema Krish, Marcie Bronkar, and Rebecca Atwood. You can create a cohesive decor theme throughout rooms using Accents by the Yard® to have custom pillows and other accents crafted. Express your style by choosing either pinch pleat or ripplefold for your drapes and custom hardware finishes, including satin nickel, brushed bronze, and matte black. Add a light-filtering or room-darkening liner as the final touch.
Where side panels are meant to lie flat and stay in one fixed location, custom drapes only meet their full potential if you open and close them, and you can select your preferred control system from three options. For the ultimate convenience, we suggest opting for PowerView® Automation. The newly redesigned motorized system integrates seamlessly with today’s smart home solutions to allow you to operate your drapes using basic voice commands, an app, or a dedicated handheld remote. Manual control is available using either a cord loop or a wand. All control options eliminate dangling cords to make your home safer for kids and pets.
