Fitting drapery & soft treatments, window by window
Hanging height is the single biggest thing people get wrong. Curtains fixed at the top of the frame make a room look shorter; taken up towards the ceiling and out past the opening, the same curtains make the window look bigger and the ceiling higher. It costs nothing to do it right.
Fullness is what separates curtains from bedsheets. Panels need to be around two to two and a half times the width of the track to hang in proper folds, and skimping here is visible from across the room.
Lining is not just about light. It protects the face fabric from sun damage, improves how the curtain hangs, and adds a real amount of insulation on a cold wall.
We dress the pleats and steam the drops on installation. Curtains that are simply hung and left take months to fall properly on their own, if they ever do.

FAQ
Questions people ask about drapery & soft treatments
How high should curtains be hung?
Well above the window — usually close to the ceiling, or at least several inches above the trim — and wider than the window so the fabric stacks off the glass when open. Hung at the trim, drapery makes a window look small; hung high and wide, it makes the room look taller and the window bigger. It is the single thing that separates drapery that looks designed from drapery that looks hung.
Can drapery be layered with blinds or shades?
Yes, and it is how most designed rooms are done — a functional layer for light and privacy, and drapery for softness and finish. Sheers behind drapery, a roller shade under a roman, a blind with side panels. The layers are measured and fitted together so the hardware does not fight.
