This is about more than blinds.

 

We work with every room in our clients' homes. From the family room to the bedroom, we design custom solutions to make your house reflect your design aesthetic.

 

Drapery

Fabric panels add warmth and softness to a room. Our services include the construction of full coverage drapery that hang from rods in pinch pleats or soft ripple folds. Use drapery panels to frame the sides of your windows or close tightly to insulate and control the daylight.

Valances

This custom category encompasses as many variations in design as the imagination can create. Adding fabric near the top of a window can enhance the feeling of comfort and finish to any space. Valence designs combine shape, proportion, color, and texture to top off any room design.

Cornices

An upholstered padded box at the top of a window can add a simple structured top treatment. This is a great way to showcase a spectacular fabric or enhance an architectural detail in a room.

Roman Shades

Made from the fabric of your choice, these flat panels lower to cover your window or raise up in soft horizontal folds to reveal the view. Consider advanced lifting systems to address child and pet safety concerns.

 
Light Upholstery Kitchen Dinette Bench

Light Upholstery

Freshen up that slacking foam and recover those tired chair seats. Reupholstering chairs, benches, or headboards can update your wooden furniture.

Pillows, Cushions, and Bedding

More that a soft place to lay your head, pillows can add and inviting accent of dynamic pop. We make pillows from any fabric with attention to style and detail. A hard wooden bench or chair can be topped with a custom fitted cushion for comfort. Select fabrics to blend with or accent the color palate in any room.
