Your Guide to Custom Drapes in Austin
From fabric selection to hanging styles, everything you need to know about elevating your Austin home with custom drapery.
Why Custom Drapes Transform a Room
Nothing changes a room's character quite like custom drapes. They add height, warmth, color, and texture that no other window treatment can match. In Austin's design scene—where homes range from sleek downtown condos to sprawling Hill Country estates—drapes offer unlimited creative possibilities. Custom fabrication means every detail is tailored to your space: exact length, perfect fullness, and fabric that complements your existing decor.
Choosing the Right Fabric
Fabric choice is the single most important decision when ordering drapes. Lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton create a relaxed, airy feel perfect for Austin's casual elegance. Heavier fabrics like velvet and silk add drama and formality to dining rooms and primary bedrooms. Performance fabrics—designed to resist fading, moisture, and staining—are ideal for homes with children, pets, or sun-drenched windows. Our designers bring fabric swatches directly to your home so you can see how each option looks in your own lighting.
Hanging Styles Explained
Pinch pleat drapes create structured, tailored folds that suit traditional and transitional interiors. Grommet curtains slide smoothly on the rod and deliver a clean, modern aesthetic. Rod pocket curtains gather the fabric for a classic, romantic look. Ripple fold drapes—a newer option—create uniform, wave-like folds perfect for contemporary spaces. Each style changes the overall feel of the room, and our design team helps you choose the one that best matches your vision.
Layering for Maximum Impact
The most polished window designs in Austin homes often layer multiple treatments. A popular combination: sheer curtains for daytime privacy and light diffusion, paired with heavier drapes for evening privacy and insulation. You can also layer drapes over blinds or shades for complete light control without sacrificing style. Motorized tracks make layered treatments effortless to operate.
Drapes and Energy Efficiency
Lined drapes significantly improve your home's insulation. Thermal linings block heat transfer during Austin's scorching summers, while blackout linings eliminate light and add an extra layer of temperature control. For floor-to-ceiling windows—common in Austin's newer construction—properly lined drapes can reduce solar heat gain by 25–35%, lowering your cooling costs noticeably.

For a polished look, drapes should either just barely touch the floor ("kiss the floor") or puddle 1–2 inches for a luxurious feel. Curtains that stop above the floor look unfinished. We also recommend hanging rods 4–6 inches above the window frame and extending 3–6 inches beyond each side to make windows appear larger and let in maximum light when drapes are open.
Yes. Thermally lined drapes can reduce solar heat gain by 25–35%, which directly lowers cooling costs. For the best results, choose light-colored drapes with a white thermal backing on south- and west-facing windows. Blackout-lined drapes provide the highest level of insulation and light blocking.
Performance polyester blends and solution-dyed acrylics resist fading from UV exposure far better than natural fabrics. If you prefer the look of linen or cotton, we recommend adding a UV-protective lining. This preserves the fabric's color and integrity while providing insulation benefits.
Absolutely. Motorized drapery tracks let you open and close drapes with a remote, app, or voice command through Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. They're especially popular for large windows, high ceilings, and layered treatments where manual operation is cumbersome.
