Morningside buying guides

When does custom drapery make more sense than ready-made?

We make beautiful, custom drapery in our Edmonton workroom to fit your windows perfectly. Tell us how you use the room and we will guide you to the right fabric, hardware, and style.

Made for your windows

Ready-made curtains are quick but often limited by set sizes. We craft custom drapery to the exact height and width of your walls, ensuring a polished look that flows beautifully.

Heads that move with ease

The way curtains attach to the rod changes how they slide and fold. We design smooth-gliding pinch pleats or ripplefolds that operate effortlessly every single day.

Textiles for light and privacy

Choose fabrics that soften the sun or provide deep privacy. We help you pair the perfect face textile with the right lining for a lasting look you will love.

  1. 01

    Measure from the support up

    Custom sizing helps your drapes suit the opening and hardware. We consider floor level, panel coverage and where the fabric gathers; light can still enter around the edges, even with blackout lining.

  2. 02

    Quality in every detail

    From the weight of the fabric to the finish of the seams, every custom piece is made with care. We discuss your privacy goals before any fabric is chosen.

  3. 03

    A complete, installed solution

    Enjoy the result without the work of installation. We provide an installed quote so your new drapery functions as expected from the very first day.

Before you choose

When custom makes the difference

Frequently asked

Are custom curtains worth the investment?

Custom drapery offers a precise fit and tailored finish that ready-made options often lack. We help you choose the best solution for your unique windows and budget.

Can I alter ready-made curtains?

Alterations can be tricky. Success depends on the fabric and heading style. We can help you decide if it is better to modify what you have or start fresh.

Do custom blackout curtains block all light?

Blackout performance depends on the fabric and how it is installed. We design your curtains with proper returns and overlaps to minimize light gaps and help you sleep better.

Can I add motors later?

Motorization depends on your track and heading. We can assess your current setup to see if it supports a powered upgrade or if a new system is needed.

How do I compare quotes easily?

Look beyond the total price. Compare the fabric quality, hardware included, and whether installation is part of the service. We provide clear, comprehensive quotes for your project.

How To Prepare

Virtual | In-store

To make the most of your consultation, it helps to have a general sense of your window or door width, ceiling height and how you would like the covering to operate. Photos of the space are helpful but not required. If you are early in the process, that is fine. We will guide you through it.
