The Latest Upgrades You’ll Love for Custom Drapes
When you take the plunge and decide to add custom drapes to your home, you should make sure that you take advantage of all of the possible upgrades! After all, drapes can have a significant impact in any room, and if you are going to spend the time and effort to get them custom-made, why not make sure that you include everything that could benefit you? And with all the fantastic options from Hunter Douglas, you will want to take advantage of them!
1. Upgrading the Fabric Choice
As drapery is a fabric-based soft window treatment, there is no choice more crucial to design than fabric choice. Fabric affects not only the look and feel of custom drapes, but also the way treatment will function and the types of benefits it can afford homeowners. In the Hunter Douglas collection of window coverings, several unique fabric lines can be made into custom drapes.
- Designer Fabrics: Choose from exclusive lines of designer fabrics by Marcie Bronkar, Seema Krish, and Rebecca Atwood as part of the Design Studio™ collection. Each artist’s lines speak directly to their artistic voice and helps homeowners elevate their sense of style with custom drapes.
- Sheer Materials: Sheer is an incredibly versatile textile for custom drapes. Its unique opacity softly filters natural sunlight while guarding against UV and providing privacy by blurring the view. Drapes made to order with sheer materials can come in classic drapery styles or fashioned in hybrid sheer shadings like Luminette® Sheer Panels that use sheer material to combine the functional design of vertical blinds with the flowing aesthetic of drapery.
- Woven Material: Provenance® Woven Wood Shades have a uniquely organic style with textiles fashioned from woods, reeds, grasses, and bamboo spun into soft materials. Woven wood textiles made into vertical drapery bring a uniquely raw yet refined look for nature to inspire décor.
2. Upgrading Operation and Efficiency
Motorization is one of the best modern upgrades for custom drapes to improve efficiency while also elevating the ease of use for homeowners. PowerView® by Hunter Douglas allows homeowners to dictate how they want to interact with their window treatments daily through remote control, online access, or hands-off integration into home assistant programs or existing smart home systems. Automated features that are part of the PowerView system can help to ensure the daily optimization of incoming sunlight to improve energy efficiency year-round.
3. Upgrading Style for Modern Homes
The beauty of having drapes made to order is that you get to make a treatment that is 100% in line with your sense of style. You also get the opportunity to use the custom-made treatment to elevate the look of your home with smart accessories and stylized design.
- Layered Styles: To create one-of-a-kind custom drapes, consider using the treatment in a multi-layered design. Drapery can work with roller shades, Roman shades, shutters, blinds, woven wood shades, and cellular shades providing a top layer to elevate the style and add light control plus insulation to the overall window fashion.
- Coordinating Accessories: With Design Studio Drapery, homeowners have the option to purchase additional fabric by the yard to craft custom accessories for their homes. These accessories help pull the drapes’ style into décor for rooms that feel polished with an integrated sense of style.
