Custom drapery fabric hangs beside your window, pulling in colors from the rest of the room, creating a stunning visual and soft contrast. The drapery rod gleams and the stylized ends are a perfect match for your vision. Alternatively, drapery panels create structure. Or the rich, luxury drapery fabric cascades from custom cornices, so they look like they’re falling from the ceiling. Whatever your style, we can help you find it and bring it to life at The Shade Shop when you come to us for custom drapery.
We have served the Grand Rapids area since 1935 and are proud to bring beauty, style, and innovation into your home or business. We love working with you to find the right colors, fabrics, and styles to enhance your interior design and speak to your personality. Add custom drapery as a finishing touch to your windows today.

Benefits of Custom Drapery and Hardware
- Light Control: You can choose the fabric opacity you prefer to let in light or go over existing window treatments to create a room-darkening experience.
- Pattern and Color: With thousands of fabrics, we have a variety of colors, patterns, and designs that can give your home a bold touch of color where you need it or subtly enhance the rest of the room.
- Customization: You choose the style, the design, the fabrics, and the modern drapery hardware for a look that is 100% yours, whether you select full drapery or drapery panels.
- Energy Savings: Window treatments reduce the amount of heat that passes through your window, and an extra layer of drapery fabric can further reduce heat transfer, resulting in greater energy reduction and savings on your bill.
- Privacy: Drawing your draperies across your window provides privacy at night, during the day, and anytime you’re not home, whether you have only drapery or you’re layering it over a window treatment.
- Visual Intrigue: The layers of fabric, the color, and the wide variety of materials with different textures create an intriguing dynamic that draws the eye and makes your home’s interior design look more complete.
- Drapery Hardware: Choose from gleaming metal or black drapery rods, stylized brackets, sophisticated tiebacks, and more to add the finishing touch to your window treatments.

Our Process
When you request your consultation, we will discuss your vision for your home, including your interior design style. We’ll discuss your goals for your drapery, whether you want them to be room-darkening or you want them to boost your energy savings.
We’ll discuss the types of materials you prefer and dislike. We will also discuss the colors, patterns, and designs you like and dislike so we have a clear picture of what to recommend and what is helpful. We’ll also show you some of the different drapery styles and work with you to choose which fits your desired look. We’ll end with the finishing touches, including the drapery hardware you select, whether it’s a modern drapery hardware style or something more stylized or classic.
FAQs About Custom Drapery from The Shade Shop
What happens during a consultation?
During the consultation, we’ll help you choose the fabrics, styles, and hardware you like. We’ll ensure we understand your style and assemble a design you love. We’ll give you an estimate and a date for installation. We will also schedule a day to measure your windows for a perfect fit.
How long does it take to receive my drapery or drapery hardware?
It depends on your selected style and whether the fabric is readily available. However, it usually takes about 8-12 weeks for custom drapery orders.
Can I add drapery over existing window treatments?
Absolutely! Adding custom draperies over existing window treatments adds an eye-catching layer and nice texture. It can also help with privacy, light control, and reducing energy consumption.
