Custom Draperies

When invited into your home, we begin designing by taking dimensions, digital photographs and offer design solutions for your windows – JEM can supply beautiful fabrics, show you numerous design ideas and fabricate one-of-a-kind treatments for you. No one else in the world will have the chance to purchase these unique and perfectly proportioned treatments made expressly for you. It all begins with a “Studio” digital rendering of what JEM is proposing for your window – panels, cornice boards, box-pleated valances, swags and cascades mounted on boards, or rod pocket window treatments. This design process saves hours of time during consultations, and eliminates costly communication errors! Every detail can be evaluated before fabrication begins. Once the illustration is finalized, the next step is to find the perfect fabric for your treatment, be it silk, cotton blends, acrylic, nylon, jacquard, wool, velvet, linen, sheers or a synthetic or polyester blend. I will order in a small sample of the fabric selected for you to look at in different light of the day, night and in-between.

We will also talk about linings, interlining and black-out lining and why it will best serve you in this window treatment. Good workmanship in the construction of draperies is as important as the quality of the fabric itself. Lastly we shall use appropriate hardware – custom iron, wooden in all types of finishes, decorative finials, traversing rods. A customized estimate will be presented for you to peruse, including all costs – labor, measuring, fabrics, trims, inserts, shipping and professional installation. You will have no surprises at the end of the project when working with JEM Personalized Interiors.
