It is amazing how fabric window treatments such as draperies and valances can transform your home. When well designed and perfectly executed, window treatments can be breathtaking. The fact that you chose the fabric, style and finishing details, custom draperies create an ambiance that is a true reflection of your personal style and character..

As with other components of your décor, such as furniture, artwork and floor coverings, custom window coverings constitute a significant investment. At Pacific Blinds and Drapes our Designers possess the knowledge and expertise to ensure that, when all is sewn and done, you'll know that you invested well. Here is how:

Workmanship

Imagine the feeling, viewing your newly installed draperies, only to notice the pattern being mismatched on the seams, or your valance treatment not being centered. It can happen. At Pacific Blinds and Drapes we pay attention to every level of detail.

Our Designers and seamstresses know precisely how your fabric treatments - whether drapery elements, bedding ensembles or other decorative accessories - should be constructed. You will immediately recognize their artistic flair and finesse starting with the way they work with the pattern right down to the size of the hems.

Every project is given attention to detail which you can expect from us. Notice the cemetry in the above valance, and below how each fold of the left panels are deftly constructed demonstrating the balance of a professional look and framing effect. All achieved with fabrics that have the silk look without the silk price.

Fabric

Even with the best craftsmanship available, the ultimate beauty of your window treatment depends, more than anything else, on the fabric you choose. Fine textiles are an art form. And like a beautiful painting, their rich patterns, textures and colours have the ability to create moods and stir emotions.

Choosing your fabric is also similar to choosing your art. There is no comparison between a framed reproduction and the life and energy that flows around an original work of art. Being practical you choose the best you can afford.

On a window treatment such as a cornice board that doesn't require much yardage, you may be able to choose the fabric of your dreams.

With other treatments, the amount of fabric used in the folds - how deep and rich we make them - can make make the difference between an average look and a spectacular look. Do you choose the expensive fabric and minimize the folds or do you maximize the folds and choose more modestly priced fabric? That can be a tough choice to make, but with the help of our very resourceful Designers, you can be absolutely assured that, when all is sewn and done, you will feel that you got the best of all worlds.

Conclusion

Fabric window treatments will add warmth, style and beauty to any room. They will also add value. Just be sure to get help from someone you trust. Well designed and perfectly executed fabric window treatments will dazzle and impress even the hardest to please.
