Inspiration & Solutions
We love seeing a comeback of timeless designs like drapery panels, roman shades, and layered looks. The difference is that we're seeing a fresh take with modern fabrics and hardware. It's time to leave heavy, overdone treatments behind and update our windows to feel new with a touch of nostalgic comfort.
Lately, we’ve noticed more people asking for drapery, especially with pleating styles that bring back a classic look. Ripple folds, pinch pleats, and even pencil pleats are such an easy way to give a room instant sophistication without going over the top. It’s those little details that make drapery feel timeless.

Trim and tassels are showing up again, but in a more subtle way that feels fresh and modern. They’re an easy way to layer in decorative detail without needing bold patterns or loud colors, so the look stays polished. More and more, people are treating window coverings like an accessory and using them as the finishing touch that completes a room’s style.

Yes, cafe curtains are definitely having a moment. They add just the right mix of function and charm, bringing a soft and relaxed feel to a space. People love that they give privacy while still letting in natural light, and they’re especially popular in kitchens and bathrooms where that balance matters most.
Rod and ring hardware is making its way back, especially in finishes that feel more natural and sustainable. The simple design pairs beautifully with softer treatments like drapery, adding a touch of structure without stealing the spotlight. Clients appreciate the clean look.
We’re also loving the return of layered looks with sheers, trims, and statement hardware that add personality without feeling dated. Blending those traditional details with modern fabrics and clean lines creates one-of-a-kind treatments. The best way to get started is by booking a design consultation with our team.
