Shades vs. Drapery: Which is Right for Your Space?

While drapery and shades can look stunning in your home, they are not interchangeable. Instead, each serves as a unique solution for your home's light filtering needs. However, you may not know which one to choose...

We’ve got you covered! Today, we are sharing the best qualities of shades and drapery to help you better understand their unique features. We are here to guide you every step of the way to help you select the best options for your home...

Shades: Top Qualities & Prime Locations

Shades are the perfect solution for smaller windows and kitchens. They provide more light control throughout the day, so they are functional but also stylish. Roman shades are an elegant option, and there are endless fabric and design selections. 

Drapery: Finest Qualities & Where to Use Them

Drapery is excellent for large rooms with tall windows. They can be a better solution than shades based on the size and shape of the window. They are also a more flexible option because drapes can be used in conjunction with shades.

If you want your room to appear larger, drapery is a great choice! In addition, drapery can have blackout liners for bedrooms to better privacy and is a more energy-efficient solution.

Still can’t decide?

Often, the style of the home can be a significant determining factor. For example, if you have a home with traditional architecture, roman shades would compliment the room nicely.

Sometimes the solution isn’t straightforward, and either shades or drapes would work in your space. If you are unsure, we are here to help you make the best choice that will provide value and years of enjoyment! Here’s how to get started...

Our services start when you fill out our questionnaire, and we send you free guides in preparation for our meeting (email us at maritza.capiro@gmail.com). 

Then we visit your home for a one-hour consultation where we discuss the best solutions for your home. We can discuss as many spaces as you like or concentrate on just one. We want to have this benefit you as much as possible and give you actionable and practical advice. 

If you're ready for window treatments that feel beautiful, intentional, and functional, we're your team. So reach out to us, and let's chat.

Until next time,

Maritza
