What "custom drapery" means here
Off-the-shelf drapery is sized for one of four standard rod heights and three standard widths. Real homes do not work like that. Our drapery is sewn to your exact opening, with your chosen fabric, on hardware specified for your window's depth and weight. Sheers that filter the Gulf afternoon light. Blackout liners that actually black out a baby's room. Motorized tracks that disappear into a soffit. Layered treatments that combine drapery with shutters or shades.

Designer fabrics in your living room
We are an authorized workroom for the designer fabric houses, which means trade pricing passes through to you instead of stopping at a designer's markup. The lines we use most:
- Kravet, the designer's choice. Thousands of patterns across velvets, linens, embroidered silks, indoor-outdoor performance, and leather.
- Stout, woven jacquards, textured solids, bold patterns, and exceptional trims. Performance lines for indoor-outdoor.
- Lee Jofa, Brunschwig & Fils, GP & J Baker, premium European fabric houses available through Kravet's distribution.
- Crypton, performance fabric rated for kitchens, kids, and pets.
If a fabric is in our library or any of these mills, we can source it. Bring a Pinterest board or a paint chip, we match.
What custom drapery costs near St. Pete
$400 to $1,500+ per window installed, depending on fabric, lining, hardware, and length. A typical pair of lined floor-length drapery panels in a mid-range Kravet on standard 1-inch decorative hardware lands around $600 to $900 per window. Specialty silks, motorized track systems, or 12-foot ceilings push higher. Layered treatments (drapery over shades, drapery with cornice) bundle into the project quote. We give itemized estimates so you see the cost line by line.
What you get on the in-home consultation
- Designer brings 60 to 100 fabric memos, plus full hardware samples.
- Walk every window, mark sizes, identify constraints (low ceilings, off-center windows, bay shapes, ceiling-mount openings).
- Discuss layering, drapery alone, drapery with shades, drapery with shutters.
- Recommend fabric weight, lining, and trim based on the room (formal vs. casual, light filtering vs. blackout, high-traffic vs. low).
- Itemized written quote within 48 hours. No deposit to consult.
Process and timeline
- In-home consultation (1.5-2 hours, free).
- Fabric selection and approval (1-2 weeks; we drop memos for final review against your existing furniture and walls).
- Final measure after hardware is approved.
- Workroom fabrication (2-3 weeks once fabric arrives).
- Installation by our in-house crew, typically a half-day.
Total: 4 to 6 weeks from approved fabric to installed panels.
Why a local workroom beats the alternatives
Big-box stock drapery: sized for standard windows. Comes in three widths and four lengths. Stops at the level of "OK." If your window is 64 inches wide, none of the standard sizes fit.
Online custom drapery sites: you measure your own windows, you pick fabric from a phone screen, you install. Errors compound. The fabric in person never matches the fabric on the screen.
Traveling drapery sales reps: the rep takes your order and ships it to a workroom in another state. If something is off, you ship the panel back. The rep is gone.
Local workroom (us): we measure, we sew, we install. If a panel hangs wrong, we are 20 minutes away.
Drapery, with everything else
Most clients combine custom drapery with at least one other treatment. We are the only St. Pete workroom that handles drapery + shades + shutters + upholstery + cornices + bedding under one roof, which means one project manager, one install date, and one styled outcome instead of three vendors.
