“I want to see out, but I don’t want anyone to see in,” commented a client. “Can you design a window covering that works like a one-way mirror?”

We don’t know of any fabric that shows your reflection on one side and is sheer on the other, but we do have textiles that will do almost everything else. Read on to learn about some effects you can get from your drapery fabric.

Blackout Fabric

Do you need to sleep past sunrise? We can design almost any drapery to block out the sun and keep the room dark until you open the drapes. How do we do it? We use a blackout lining that prevents light from seeping through. Blackout drapes are often heavy and can be used to insulate your windows too. What could be better for sleep than a window covering that keeps the bedroom dark and cool?

Sheers

Suppose you want the opposite of a blackout drape. Can we make something beautiful and custom that will let light in? We sure can! You might be reluctant since the ready-made sheers sold in stores are no more than 54 inches wide and have ugly seams, but we know how to have them made right. Unlike factory-made sheer curtains, sheer custom drapes are made to be seamless and can be more than 110 inches wide. You can choose from a wide variety of solid and patterned sheers, and your custom drapes, unlike store-bought sheers, will be full and fit beautifully over your windows.

Iridescent

Do you like a little glamour in your home? Iridescent drapes are like haute couture fashion for windows. They reflect a rainbow of colors and can be subtle or dramatic, with solid or patterned fabric. We’ll add embellishments that enhance the look of the room and add to your enjoyment of these glamorous window coverings.

We can design custom drapes in fabric to suit almost every taste and need. But what about our client who wanted the one-way mirror effect? We were able to offer screen shades, a product that lets you see outside during the day without letting people see inside. Combined with beautiful drapery to block the view from outside to inside during the night, it was the perfect solution.

We can design the right drapes for your needs too. Contact us today!
