Drapes

Fabric

We source our fabric from all over the country. Some brands include Robert Allen, Fabricut, Schumacher, and many more.

Returns

A quality drape will always come with returns. A return is when the drapes turn the corner at the outside ends of your drapes and attach to your wall. Returns give your drapes that beautiful, finished, tailored look. Our returns come standard at 3 1/2". If you need a specialized size, please contact us or add it to the special instructions on your order.

Overlap

The overlap is the inside edge of your drapes. This will always come as 1 1/2".

Fullness

Our fullness is set at 1.8 times full for drapes and 2.5 times full for sheers.

1.8 times full means that there is almost twice as much fabric as the area being covered. Therefore, a 100" space would be covered by 180" of fabric. This rule applies to our two pleat styles — Two Finger Top Pleat and Soft Tuck Pleat. So when you take 180" worth of fabric and cover 100" worth of space, that extra 80" is made so that there is enough fabric to add the pleats so that the drapes equal the 100" space you are wanting to cover.

If you order an operable drape, which will close all the way across your window and rod, your drape will be 1.8 times full and will fit perfectly on your rod due to the rod width you give us. Depending on your rod width, you might have 2 widths of fabric minimum or possibly up to 8 widths of fabric. Each width of fabric, once pleated, will have approximately 7 or 8 pleats, which means that you will need 7 or 8 rings per width. We will tell you how many rings you will need for your drapes once you enter your rod width measurement. (Watch our how to measure for drapes video for more explanation.)

If you order a stationary drape, which is just for looks, your fullness will also be 1.8 times full. The amount of widths you will receive will depend on the rod width you tell us. Basically, we have already figured this out for you. We know that you don't want your stationary drapes to look wimpy, thin, and cheap — we don't want that either! We want your stationary drapes to look nice and full and in proportion to your window. If you have a small window, you really only need 2 widths of fabric for the pair. If you have a larger window, 3 widths of fabric for the pair looks great. If by some chance you need to request a specific amount of widths, we can accommodate that for you — just specify what you need in the special instructions. Price will be subject to change.

Sheers are made to be 2.5 times full. Because sheers are so thin, we make them with more fullness (or fabric) so that they don't look wimpy.

Pin Setting

Our pins are adjustable in 1/8" increments. We recommend setting them at 1/4", which is 4 clicks on the pin adjuster, but if you need them to be higher or lower you can readjust them to your desired height.

Hem

The hem of your drapes will always be 4" at the bottom.

Buckram

Buckram heading is a strip of white or translucent stiffener that helps add a more defined shape to a drapery header. Buckram hides between layers of fabric and lining to create a sturdier header. It is standard at 4". The buckram will be noticeable on sheer fabrics.

Lining

Whether you selected privacy lining or blackout lining, the material is white. Blackout lining is white on each side of the material.

Color Blocking

If you decide to do a color block on your drapes, it will always hit at 42" from the bottom of your drapes.

Edge Banding

Edge bandings are always on the overlap edge of your drapes and right on the edge of your drapes. (We do not have inset edge banding at this time.)

Romans

General Info

Our roman shades waterfall off the front of the headrail. The controls are hidden behind the shade, and are then covered with a back valance made from a premium rain repellent lining.

Headrail

Our wood headrails are wrapped in matching fabric and are 2 1/2" in depth and 3/4" in height.

Returns

Returns are standard on all shades. They are 2 1/2" in depth by 6" in height, and are made in the shade material selected.

Lining

Whether you selected privacy lining or blackout lining, the material is white. Blackout lining is white on each side of the material. We also provide pin hole free construction on blackout shades at no extra charge, so you will not see any pin holes that show light through your shades. We are not responsible for light seeping through the side edges.

Deductions

We will automatically deduct 1/2" from the width for clearance on all roman shades ordered as Inside Mount.

Relaxed Style Roman

Relaxed Romans tend to curve noticeably at the bottom. The "height" of a Relaxed Roman is the short point of the "smile."

Edge Banding

You have the option to have your edge banding on just the sides of your roman, on the bottom, or both. By default, banding will sit on the edge. (We do not have inset edge banding at this time.)

Cordless ONE Controls®

Horizons Cordless ONE Controls® are a patented (U.S. Patent #8,505,607 B2) lift system which completely eliminates pull cords. Cordless ONE Controls® are a no charge option. It adds approximately 2 1/2" to the stacking dimension.

Stacking Dimension

Cordless ONE Controls® add approximately 2 1/2" to stacking heights.

Support Rods

All Classic and Knife Pleat Roman Shades are constructed with support rods that are hidden between the face fabric and the lining at no additional charge. Support rods provide stability and crisp, neat folds.
