3 Benefits of Custom Drapes

Elden Draperies, Blinds and Shades • 23 January 2025

Custom drapery has enjoyed quite a transformation over the years. Once seen as stuffy and outdated, today, many homeowners are turning to this window treatment for their home’s interiors. Our team has worked with custom-made drapes for years, and we can show you exactly how to use them and what types of drapes can work in your home.

Breathing exciting, new life into drapery, Carole Fabrics® Custom Drapes provide thousands of custom colors, cuts, and hues that are specifically designed to complement the modern home. Whether you layer them with your current window treatments or let them stand out on their own, there are many reasons why homeowners in 2025 are bringing custom drapes into the mix. Our top three benefits include:

Benefit 1: Adds Drama and Visual Depth to the Window

Custom drapes are like the perfect outfit for your windows—they frame, lengthen, and add a touch of elegance to the windows of your home. They also make a statement that instantly catch the eye. Whether you want to elongate the windows in a smaller room to open up the space or add elegant drama to your dining room windows, custom drapery delivers a glow-up to any window of your choosing.

No matter your style, our team can help cut the drapery fabrics to add the right amount of drama to your windows. By hanging them a few inches above the window, we can make your windows feel larger than they are. We can also keep the fabrics on the longer side to pool on the ground for an elegant, cozy effect. Talk to our team about different drapery styling tips to achieve the look you want!

Benefit 2: Added Insulation and Noise Control

Of course, custom drapes don’t just look good. Thanks to their thick fabrics, custom drapery works hard at keeping your home quiet and comfortable throughout the year. During the winter months, the thick, high-quality fabrics create an extra barrier at the window to keep chilly drafts out and warm air in. On the other hand, drapery blocks intense sunlight and helps reduce heat gain in the summer. Over time, this can reduce your home’s energy usage and, in turn, lower your energy bills.

What’s more, the thick nature of these window treatments can also help improve your home’s interior acoustics while blocking out unwanted noise from rumbling cars or loud neighbors. This makes them particularly excellent for studies, media rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, and other spaces that require a little extra peace and quiet.

Benefit 3: Style That’s Uniquely You

When you shop for drapery in a big box store, you might notice an unfortunate pattern: every style looks the exact same. Such a limitation can be frustrating! Your home should look and feel exactly how you envision it—not how a big chain store envisions it! Luckily, in addition to providing drama, efficiency, and noise control, Carole Fabrics® Custom Drapery also looks beautiful in every single home. This is because these window treatments are available in over 4,000 custom colors and fabrics.

Looking for vibrant colors? Bold prints? Subtle textures? No matter your style, you can find it within this expansive collection. Of course, if you need some inspiration, our team is happy to help you select different styles. We can also help you learn  how to properly layer your custom drapes with all-new blinds, shades, and shutters in our showroom or how to layer them with your home’s existing window treatments. When you work with us, not even the sky is the limit in terms of interior design possibilities!
