At DrapeStyle we’ve been making incredible custom drapes for well over a decade. We’ve been making them by hand, in the USA and we could not be prouder of our DrapeStyle Family. Over the past decade we have seen styles evolve. What was old is now new, what is new is already passe. What we are always reminded of, however, is the staying power of the classic silk drapes that our Customers love and just never go out of style.
Right now when you buy your silk drapes at DrapStyle you can upgrade to room-darkening and energy saving blackout lining for just $99 per panel. Turning any of our drapery in blackout drapes is a great way to save energy and create that “Boutique Hotel Room” in your own home. And, at DrapeStyle we only using the highest quality blackout lining from Hanes, the Industry Leader in drapery linings.
Whether your home decor are traditional, transitional or contemporary we have the perfect fabric color and pleat style to compliment your home. Of course, if you need a little extra help in deciding on which color, size or pleat style, please don’t hesitate to call one of our talented Designers at 800-760-8257. Our Designers are never on commission and are only here to help you make the right choice for your home.
Please also take a look at our new Video Room where we have posted a few short videos of how we make your silk drapes and pillows.
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!
We’re always looking for photos from our Clients and Customer to post on both our Drapery Design Blog – here, as well as our Pinterest Page, Houzz and our Facebook Fan Page. If you have purchsed drapes, curtains, roman shades, blinds or even pillows please forward us some images and we will post them or all of our fans to see!
We are pleased to announce that, based on popular demand, we will have a few new DrapeStyle Showrooms opening in 2013. We’re not allowed to say the exact locations but it looks like Chicago, New York / New Jersey and Ft. Lauderdale are first on the list! Shorty thereafter in Dallas as well.
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.
Not sure of what the significance of 12-12-12 is but I guess we should “celebrate” it? I saw on the morning news that thier is a rush for people to get married today so that their wedding license says “12-12-12″. So, for whatever it may be worth, “Happy 12-12-12″ from all of us at DrapeStyle!
So I was sitting in my local Restoration Hardware in Fashion Island last week. I really do love that store, they have really great stuff. I’m sitting in that new “aero” looking chair with the leather and stainless steel. Might be aluminum with the rivets showing. Really cool Howard Hughes looking chair. I really do love it.
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.
Sometimes I think that it is worth reminding our Customers that when you order from DrapeStyle all of your drapes, shades and roman blinds are made right here in our Costa Mesa Workroom. I know that for many people that really doesn’t matter but for some, we think it does. Our drapes are made, by hand, by professional seamstresses who have on average 23 years of experience making beautiful custom made drapes.
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
We are so loving our Roman Shades and Roman Blinds at DrapeStyle. We’re having fun creating some great traditional and contemporary looks! Consider layering your Drapery over Roman Shades for great depth and contrast! Don’t forget to add blackout lining to roman shades and blinds as well!

Effective ideas that will help you transform your old home into a modern one
Interior design ideas are very important when deciding on the decoration pattern to undertake while transforming your old house to a new house. This transformation is usually very important especially for people who have old furniture and other house items and see the need for change. There are different ways through which you can be able to upgrade your house while still using the old furniture in the house. This is usually very important in that it makes it quite easy and economical to transform your house. You do not have to replace your old furniture with new ones as this might prove to be quite hard and even uneconomical. In addition to this, you may not be in a position to be able to dispose off the old furniture.
In order to spice up the interior decoration of your house, you should change the decoration pattern that exists in the “old” house. This change is usually very important in that it makes it quite easy for one to be able to note a difference in the house. You should recessed lighting to replace the already existing hanging light fixtures in the house. You should also consider upgrading the paint in your house to a modern paint, one that is very attractive and appealing to the eye. You should carry out an extensive search on the best color combination that matches the furniture and other items in your house.
It is equally advisable to give your house a feel of custom made drapery. This decoration is a high quality decoration that is able to effectively complement the house’s lighting, painting and even furniture among other items. This decoration should mainly be used in the living room and in any other room that you may feel like. The main aim of interior design and decoration ideas while upgrading an old house is so as to bring out a very clear difference, one that clearly stands out for identification. This also helps in giving your house the much needed luxurious touch.
While upgrading your old house, you should ensure that you use the already existing furniture and other items instead of purchasing new ones. However it requires you to be quite resourceful in order to identify the best interior design idea to use in order to achieve an excellent decoration. You can rely on the internet and other resource centers in order to be able to identify the best idea to use. Old furniture is better than new furniture in that the old one has a better sustainability as compared to the new one. As such the old furniture is usually more resistant to damage and breakage.
We really need to communicate this better. At DrapeStyle we make each custom curtain panel, drapery panel and roman blind or roman shade to order. Since we make each of them from scratch from the roll of fabric there is literally no limit to the length or width of drape that we can make. So, if you have 18 foot tall windows, we can make your drapes for them. Have extra wide windows. no problem. We make drapes for virtually every size and shape of window there is, period. We even make custom curtains for stages and auditoriums.
The following image is for draper that we made for a restaurant in San Francisco. The curtains are about 25 feet long and they turned out to be, well, gorgeous.
Please call us if you can seem to find the perfect width or length on our website. Also, please be sure to check the wide variety of lining options as well, including blackout lining and English Bump.

Can DrapeStyle make very long curtains and drapery? Extra wide curtains and drapes? Blackout curtains? The answer, of course, is YES! We really need to do a better job of letting everyone know that DrapeStyle makes each drapes from scratch. We don’t bring them in from India or China, we actually unroll the fabric, cut them and make the drapery the old fashioned way. Making drapes here in the US went our of fashion about five decades ago but we still make them here. Manufacturing in the US – California no less, is certainly not the least expensive way to make drapery but it does allow us to make the very best quality in the business. Luxury and quality custom made drapery is what we have been about for well over a decade.

So it’s hard enough to select the perfect fabric for your new curtains or drapes but you also need to decide on a pleat too. There are so many too choose from from the traditional French Pleat, also know as the Pinch Pleat and almost a dozen more. Well, let’s first just slow down a relax.

First, let’s look at your style of decor. Is it traditional? Contemporary? Maybe Transitional? Whatever your style of decor, DrapeStyle has the perfect pleat for you. Shoot, we could even make a unique pleat just for your own room.
In general terms you want to match your drapery or curtain pleat to your style. If your modern or contemporary choose a grommet pleat. Traditional you will generally go with a French or Parisian pleat. And if you are somewhere in between, or Transitional, than go for the inverted or or box pleat. And, of course, if you just know what the pleat looks like but don’t know it’s name just call us and we can identify it for you.
You may also take some time to look at some great images on Pinterest or Houzz.
