Custom Drapes and Curtains Ideas for 2024

Pugerudes • May 29, 2023

There’s nothing like custom drapes and curtains to bring a room’s feel to life. Their visual dominance, graceful aesthetic, and incredible ability to control natural sunlight make them extremely popular residential window coverings. However, the number of choices available when customizing drapery are seemingly endless, with both aesthetic options to consider as well as functional design. Here’s how we suggest you tackle the project.

Spend Time on Fabric Choice

The most important choice when it comes to custom drapes and curtains is fabric choice, so it’s worth investing time into this step of the process. After all, the graceful drama of drapery can quickly turn tacky and overbearing with the wrong textile.


Plus, the fabric choice can affect the features of custom drapes and curtains; for example, heavier textiles with denser weaves are better at blocking light for room-darkening effects, while voile textiles excel at brightening spaces by softly filtering light. To elevate décor, there are also designer fabric lines to explore that bring the latest textiles and residential design trends to your home.

Don’t Forget the Hardware

After the fabric, the following visual element of custom drapes and curtains is the hardware, which has an equally impactful effect on the aesthetics of the overall window fashion. Hardware for drapery may include the header or curtain rod from which the drapery is hung, the wall brackets that support the curtain rod, curtain rings, finials or end caps, and any holdbacks or tie-backs used.


Drapery hardware comes in nearly as many colors and styles as the curtain textiles themselves, and it helps to create a one-of-a-kind look, uniquely tailored to your home décor and personal tastes.

Upgrade to Motorization

Customizing drapes and curtains aren’t just about personalizing the aesthetics of the treatment; it’s also about crafting a window treatment that will be as useful as it is stylish. Natural sunlight plays a crucial role in your home’s interior environment, controlling it is a daily battle.


But with motorized operating systems like PowerView®, the work is taken over by innovative system features like pre-set automation or easy accessibility through an online PowerView® app. So the treatment is not only in-line with the style of your home’s existing décor but it’s also a valuable helper to take over the daily monotony of opening and closing your new custom drapes or curtains.

Integrate Style

While we enjoy the benefits of new custom drapes and curtains, we don’t always want them to look new. New stands out, and often seamless assimilation into the existing décor aesthetic is far preferable for a harmonious style. The use of additional matching or coordinating fabrics throughout a room helps to incorporate the new drapes and curtains into the style of your room, creating an integrated overall look.
