Fear Not… Color Is Always Your Friend!

Adding some new color to your rooms will have friends guessing what you did to make your room look so new and beautiful… whether all you did was add a splash of color here and there, or something more substantial overall. Your current window fashions take on a renewed life when you add a cornice, decorative valance or jabot in colors that contrast with the existing materials. Add pillows, tassels, table covers and tiebacks that coordinate with the new colors, and you get not only a new look for your windows, but also a room that looks like it had a full makeover!

Window Décor Tip of the Month:

Who wouldn’t love a complete home makeover? But when that’s not possible, there are many great ways to acheive a similar effect without breaking the bank. Add a plain or textured sheer drapery layer over existing blinds or shades, and you’ll get miles of style that will enormously enhance your existing décor! Give me a call and I show you how to start!

Odd shaped windows Louisville Ky

Posted on May 21, 2013 by charlie marshall

Hotspots and coldspots…

In summer, skylights and large windows can cause areas of your home to be, well, less than comfortable. Additionally, in winter and summer, these areas loose valuable heating and air-conditioning energy by allowing too much sun or exterior temperature to transfer into your home environment, making for some pretty uncomfortable times when the power bill comes, too.

Custom Draperies of Louisville can solve most of these problems, and beautifully. The right shade, blind or shutter design, coupled with newly developed materials and shaping possibilities will make your skylights and high-design windows sing, while helping keep the temperature indoors manageable without breaking the bank.

shades for sky lights louisville ky

Posted on May 21, 2013 by charlie marshall

Let Some Sky
Into Your Home!

Few people would dispute the added drama and beautiful ambient light that skylights and other “architectural” windows bring into a home. They allow a lot of sunshine in to brighten your world… but they also can cause hot-spots and cold-spots, lighting issues and energy loss during times of the year when temperatures are at extremes. Air-conditioning loss in summer, and heat loss in winter make choosing the right window treatments for these life-enhancing windows imperative. Custom Draperies has a load of beautiful and innovative window products and ideas specifically for your skylight and architectural windows, and I’d love to show you how you can save money by selecting the right ones! We can motorize those tough to get to windows.

Client Testimonials

Mary Jane C. "Mr. Marshall was a delight to work with from the initial contact. He responded quickly to a phone message, even before I anticipated, and was available for a consultation on short notice. That was important because the windows in my house had just been replaced and we wanted new "honeycomb" fabric blinds installed as quickly as possible. He was also available for an early evening appointment, which my husband and I greatly appreciated. Although we wanted the blinds quickly, we also wanted good quality blinds, and he had excellent options from which to choose, along with a good range of color selections. We also had the good fortune of being able to take advantage of a special offer that saved us nearly a $1,000.00 on the blinds we preferred. As promised, the blinds arrived in two weeks, even a couple of days earlier, and Mr. Marshall arranged an appointment to install them at our earliest convenience. Again, as promised, he had the blinds (21) installed in about two hours. We will definitely choose to go to him if we decide to install window treatments, and I gladly recommend his services."

S.Trask Vender promptly called and made appointment to come to home to take measurements for shades. Showed up exactly on time and on day promised. Took measurements and told me they would be ordered and should arrive in about 2 weeks. Called just one week after measurements were taken and said shades were ready to hang. Came out next day to hang them. They fit perfectly and look very nice. He cleaned up any mess from installation and disposed of my old shades. Was able to pay for balance with my master card which is a feature I always look for.

B. Whitehouse This was the second time I have worked with Charlie. He is great to work with. He has a lot of experience. He made suggestions and was very patient with me while deciding fabrics/ design. He installed all of the products (blinds, shutters, and drapes) very well. I had a small issue with the shutter; he resolved it quickly and without problem. I would work with Charlie again and I would recommend him!

Mrs. Gibb After I ordered the product, he called as soon as it arrived, a head of schedule. He than arrived at the scheduled time to installed the window coverings. He was very efficient and pleasant while performing the task. I was concerned about some loose threads and he took care of them and assured me that if in the future a problem arose, the company would replace the panels.

Vicki Miller He was very quick to respond to my phone calls and to providing his service. When he hung the finished draperies he went to great lengths to make sure they were hung with absolute precision! He is not only very skilled and professional but also a very nice man!
