We did a quick photo of one of the more popular colors in Hyland Straw which is really gorgeous.  The color is a very soft ivory and is very versatile.  Order samples of all of the fabrics to see the fabric in your own home.

The Internet is really such an amazing thing.  I know, this has been said by millions but it really does remind us how small the world is.  The ability for Companies to find our Products online and contact us when they are looking to buy Drapery or Cortinas was unheard of only a decade ago.  Any business today and truly be a “International” business if they desire.

We’ve shipped drapes to almost every continent at this point so whether you are looking for Drapes, Cortinas, Les rideaux, Drapiert or Tende we have you covered.

One of our more popular areas for shipping our custom drapery too has been in the Cabo Area.  Specifically Developments like El Dorado, Cabo Del Sol, Palmilla, Pedregal, Espiritu Del Mar, and Villas Del Mar.

DrapeStyle is happy to ship our Custom Made Curtains and Shades to Mexico, Canada, France, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Japan and The United Kingdom.

We realize that you have many choices of where to buy your next set of custom drapes.  When we started DrapeStyle about twelve years ago the notion of buying or selling custom curtains online was really just a novelty at best.  No one really thought that it was a good idea or a realistic one for that matter.  Over a decade later with over 50,000 Customers in ten countries the idea of buying everything, including custom drapes is not only accepted but in most cases now the “norm”.

Sometimes we look back to catalogs and marketing pieces we made ten years ago and it’s fun to just reminisce.  Here is one of our first tv commercials we made that we used to run on local television.

We sincerely look forward to the next ten years for sure!

At DrapeStyle we have dozens of great outdoor fabrics to choose from.  You probably already know Sunbrella for great outdoor fabrics but we have some great contemporary designer outdoor fabrics as well.  Remember, we can also make your custom outdoor pillows to match!

Thanks so much!

The new studio concept will feature all of DrapeStyle’s current Collection of Luxury Custom Drapes, Curtains, Roman Shades, Blinds and Hardware.  We are only opening locations where we already have an Certified Drapery Installer Base.  Like our current Southern California Store, we will offer shop-at-home / in-home consultations as well as professional installation services.  Our Drapery Workroom / Production Facility will remain in Orange County, CA.

Stay tuned for more details and thanks so much for over 10 years of support.

• Contemporary Pleat Styles:  The most popular pleat for contemporary curtains or drapes is the Grommet Pleat.  We offer many different style of grommets from large stainless steel to medium sized brushed nickel and brass.  Of course, we hand-press each grommet right here in our Orange County Workroom.  As a matter of fact, we have a short video of how we hand press each grommet here:

• Contemporary Fabrics:  When it comes to contemporary fabrics for drapes, curtains or roman shades and blinds we really have you covered.  At DrapeStyle we have over 300 fabric styles many of them are contemporary metallic or geometric.  We even have some amazing metallic sheer fabrics that are awesome and we usually use grommets with them as well.  A few years ago Schumacher introduced the Imperial Trellis Fabrics that really defined the “Hollywood Regency” look which is really vintage contemporary and is used in so many mid-century homes in Palm Springs and LA.  We offer contemporary geometric fabrics in linen, cotton and polyester to meet anyone’s budget.

But our contemporary fabrics are certainly not exclusive to the west coast.  We’ve done some amazing contemporary projects in New York, Connecticut and Florida as well.  Here is a great shot of some contemporary modern drapes we did for a high-rise project in LA.  Notice how we marry the metallic fabrics with over-sized grommets for a very modern look.

We used a very modern metallic fabric to make these drapes and then used the over-sized grommets in matte-nickel to really make them ultra-contemporary.

• Modern Length and Width:  Like the way suit styles or hem-line styles vary, so do the cuts of drapery and curtains.  For a more modern or contemporary look most Designers are opting for less “puddle” where the bottom hem of the drapes end about 1-2 inches above the floor.  This is a contrast from traditional drapery lengths that will often “puddle” on the floor with an extra 6-8 inches of fabric.

When you are considering a large purchase (like our Drapes) the sales tax issue can be a pretty big deal, often amounting to hundreds of dollars.  So, to be clear (if not redundant) if you are outside of California we do not collect sales tax on your drapery purchase.  Important point as we are not Tax Advisers – but we think that you are supposed to claim the purchase to your local tax district and pay them sales tax.

We’ve also done some updating to the content of the app, featuring some great new images and added more drapery hardware and accessories like tassels and tie-backs.  Still can’t order drapes from the app but, after all, that’ what we have the website for.

We really look forward to your feedback on the new App!

So, I’m sitting there and next to me sitting on the matching couch to the chair is this really nice couple.  They are speaking to one of the Sales Associates about buying some drapes for their large windows.  Now look, if you are looking for ready-made drapes that are pretty good quality.  And, you need them NOW, than by all means go visit your local Restoration Hardware and see what they have.

Now here is where things got a little bit off track.  So, this Couple has extra long and extra wide windows that they need drapery for.  So they are going to buy eight ready-made drapery panels from Restoration Hardware and have them sewn together.  My ears have perked-up a bit.  They do the calculations to figure out exactly how much coverage they need and determine the 8 panels will handle it.  Sew 4 together for each side.  I’m thinking this is pretty creative.  They were not crazy about the rod-pocket pleat option or the fact that their local seamstress was going to charge them $300 to sew them all together but they were committed to the idea.

I’m still admiring the leather and aluminum chairs.

The next thing I know they are up at the register checking out.  I hear the Sales Associate give them their total.  It came to almost $2,000 for their Cotton / Linen Blend Drapes.  Youser!  Now on top of the $2,000 they are going to pay their seamstress to sew the panels together to make two large panels – keep in mind, these are still rod-pockets!  They are spending $2,300 for ready-made drapes.

Of course I bit my tongue.  Would not be polite to me to say something while I am sitting in Restoration.  After all, I really do love their stuff.  But let me get this off my chest.  If you are going to buy ready-made drapery panels and sew them together to make larger panels, please call us.  Tell us what you need and what your budget is.  I will almost guarantee that the difference in price will be negligible and the quality will be much better.  I promise.  In the long-run you will be much, much happier.

Now, if you are looking for a really cool leather-aluminum chair, I can’t help you their, go to Restoration Hardware for sure.

DrapeStyle products are never made by child labor in Pakistan, India or China.  We realize that making our products in the US where we pay a livable wage, provide workers comp insurance and even provide lunch for our Employees means that our drapes may cost a bit more than others.  We’re Family at DrapeStyle and we believe we have the greatest People in the business making the very best custom made curtains and drapery available.

Before you buy your next window treatments you may want to think about where those drapes were made.  It may make a difference to you.

Thanks as always.

DrapeStyle makes all of our drapes by hand in Orange County, California
