Better Than the Best
You’re thinking about adding custom draperies to your home. You’ve found a few drapery workrooms, but who is the best? If you want you draperies to look gorgeous and last a lifetime, consider these tips from our Drapery Experts on how to find the best custom drapery workroom:
Design Assistance – Finding the perfect drapery style, fabric, hardware, lining, trims and more can be a daunting task. Partner with a workroom that offers complimentary design assistance from an Interior Designer to help guide you through all the options.
Fabrics – The most important element of draperies is the fabric. Make sure your workroom has an exquisite collection of the design industry’s latest fabrics. If you find a fabric outside of their collection, ask if they’ll work with it.
Showroom – Having the ability to visit a showroom with large displays of draperies is a valuable asset. You can interact with the different styles and options to help you make selections.
Installation Technicians – When selecting a drapery provider, insist that they have their own, in-house drapery installation technicians. Measuring for custom draperies and installing them is highly-nuanced, and only a full-time professional expert knows the tips and tricks to make draperies look and operate perfectly.
Accessories – As you’re designing your draperies, you may realize you need some related accessories like custom pillows, bedding, reupholstery, etc. Pick a fabric workshop that has expertise in a variety of products so they can assist with all phases of your project.
Inputs – Sewn within draperies are a variety of inputs you may never see such as lining, interlining, stitching and more. Discount drapery workshops often deliver cheap pricing by using inferior quality inputs causing draperies to look unsightly and deteriorate over time.
Warranty – Most important of all, partner with a drapery workroom that stands behind their work. Draperies often need small adjustments following an installation such as tailoring and steaming and top-quality drapery workrooms are happy to assist with these adjustments at no charge until your draperies look perfect.
