Smart Savings
How to Get the Most Value From a Custom Order
Custom doesn't have to mean expensive. The biggest savings usually come from planning: ordering several rooms together, putting premium fabrics where they're seen most and choosing simpler shades for secondary rooms.
Reupholstering a quality frame through our upholstery service often costs less than buying new — and energy-efficient cellular shades pay back through lower heating bills.
- Group rooms into one order
- Choose battery motors for retrofits
- Mix premium and simple products
- Reupholster instead of replacing
- Pick in-stock fabrics
- Plan ahead of busy seasons

How It Works
Four Steps From First Swatch to Final Install
- 1
Free consultation
A designer visits with samples. Book yours. - 2
Measure & quote
Every opening is measured and priced window by window so you can phase work by room. - 3
Fabrication
Shades and blinds take two to four weeks; drapery and upholstery four to eight. - 4
Install & walkthrough
Our own team installs, programs motors, cleans up and shows you how everything works.
Every custom project starts with a free, no-obligation quote, so you always know exactly what you are paying before anything is ordered. Quotes are itemized window by window, which makes it easy to see where a promotion applies and to phase a larger project over time if that suits your budget better.
If you are comparing prices, remember that professional measuring, installation and service after the sale are included with us. Online and big-box orders often leave the measuring risk with you, and a single wrong measurement can cost more than any discount saves.
Ask which promotion fits your project — the consultation is always free.
Designer Tips
Six Guidelines Our Designers Swear By
Start with how the room is used
A bedroom needs darkness and quiet, a home office needs glare control, a family room needs durability and easy operation. Function first, then style — the right fabric or shade follows naturally once we know what the room has to do every day.
Mount higher and wider than you think
Hanging drapery hardware close to the ceiling and extending it past the window casing makes windows look taller and lets panels stack off the glass. It is the single easiest way to make a room feel bigger and brighter.
Layer for flexibility
A functional shade underneath and decorative drapery on top gives you privacy by day, darkness at night and softness year-round. Layering also adds insulation that you will notice during a Greater Boston winter.
Mind the sun
South- and west-facing rooms fade floors, rugs and upholstery. Solar shades, lined drapery and UV-resistant fabrics protect what you have invested in without shutting out the view.
Keep kids and pets safe
Cordless lifts and motorized shades remove dangling cords entirely. We recommend them by default in nurseries, children's rooms and any home with curious pets.
Think about the whole house
Consistent shade colors and hardware finishes from the street give a home a tidy, cohesive look, even when every room inside uses a different style. We plan exterior appearance as carefully as interior design.
