Custom Window Treatments

At Design 360 we specialize in custom window treatments and it has always been a large focus of our business. Bare windows are impractical – windows need to offer privacy, shade from the outside elements and most of all, they complete your room design. Interior designer Julie Meyers and her team offer a vast variety of decorative soft window treatments including draperies, side panels, roman shades and top treatments. We are also agents for Hunter Douglas and other high quality hard window fashion brands, and can offer advice on motorization throughout the home.

Custom window treatments give you the opportunity to show beautiful pleats and decorative trim.

Curtains & Draperies

Having the correct window treatments depend on several factors:

  • the room
  • the shape of the window
  • its position to the sun
  • the style you prefer
  • the purpose

Window treatments will last for many years and serve many purposes — they keep the sun out and the warmth in; they help protect your floors, rugs and furniture from fading; they add pizzazz to any room, completing it.

They can be practical too. Today’s fabrics offer room darkening options for people who work shifts such as firefighters, police, or medical staff. Also, many fabrics are stain resistant — perfect defense from kids and pets.

If you prefer a simple look, you can hang stationary drapery panels each side of the window, framing it, usually in combination with a blind or shade. Adding embellishment such as fringe or contrasting tape will change the mood of the room from formal to romantic to casual.

In a traditional home you may require more layers of draperies to achieve a sophisticated design. In a colder climate you may want heavier fabrics to keep the heat in. Our window treatment specialists will be there to offer ideas and solutions.

Top treatments can complete a space beautifully.

Top Treatments

Full length draperies are not suitable for every application because in a kitchen they may get dirty; in a bathroom there may not be floor space. But in most cases Design 360 can design a top treatment that will soften the hard edges of a window, hide the mechanics of another layer, and to draw focus to the window.

There are several choices of top treatment to explore:

  • Cornice boards
  • Valances
  • Pole and swag
  • Swags
  • Awnings
  • Balloon valances
  • Lambrequins

You can further embellish a top treatment with custom trim or ribbon that will add an interesting and individualized look to the finished product.

Tall ceilings offer a special challenge for design and installation. Call Design 360 @ Decorating Den Interiors for experienced window treatment specialists.

Challenging Windows

Design 360 can also help with difficult shaped windows, such as bay windows. Bay windows offer the perfect placement for a small seating area or reading nook while taking advantage of the views outside your home. However, due to their shape, bay windows can sometimes pose problems. Our team is able to design custom bay window treatments that match the style of your windows and your home.

Tall windows can also pose difficulties so hiring a window treatment professional is again a sensible decision for a homeowner because once the draperies are manufactured Design 360 has certified window treatment installers to make your life easy.

The possibilities are endless and we are here to help you every step of the way. Once we have selected the right window treatment for you, we will take all the measurements, place the orders and our talented fabricators will get to work to ensure that the designs are built to your specifications. We then deliver and install the products to your satisfaction.

Blinds, Shades & Shutters

Whether you’re moving to a new home or updating your existing home, the first thing you’ll want to do is cover the windows for privacy.

It only takes a few months before unprotected windows can cause floors and furniture to fade. When you’ve invested thousands in the decoration of your home you will want to avoid the inevitable damage.

Call our window treatment specialists who will show you the many different styles of blinds and shades, and discuss the pros and cons of each, for your windows. We have several brands of blinds and shades to show you, with something for everyone.
