What Are Custom Window Treatments?

Custom window treatments are made-to-measure solutions designed to perfectly fit your windows and match your home’s unique style. Unlike store-bought blinds or shades, these are professionally measured, made, and installed to ensure an exact fit and long-lasting function.

What’s the Best Window Treatment for Each Room?

Living Room: Plantation shutters, Roman shades, or layered drapery offer elegance and light control.

Bedroom: Blackout shades or lined drapes for privacy and better sleep.

Kitchen: Faux wood blinds or café shutters—easy to clean and moisture-resistant.

Bathroom: Vinyl shutters or roller shades that resist humidity and offer privacy.

How Much Do Custom Window Treatments Cost?

Since every window treatment we design is completely custom-made, pricing can vary based on several factors—including the style you choose, your fabric or material selections, the number of windows, and installation complexity.

That’s why we offer a free in-home consultation: Our designer will bring the showroom directly to you, so you can see fabric samples, explore style options, and make confident design decisions in your own space. Once selections are made, we’ll take precise measurements and provide you with a detailed, exact quote—no guesswork, no surprises.

While the investment is higher than off-the-shelf options, custom treatments offer better quality, a perfect fit, and can even increase your home's value.
