Drapery & Curtains
Custom drapery and curtains for Dallas homes — lined, tailored panels that finish a room and layer beautifully over blinds and shades.
Drapery is the window covering that makes a room feel finished. Park Window Coverings designs and installs custom drapery and curtains across Dallas — floor-length lined panels for living rooms and primary suites in Highland Park and Preston Hollow, tailored café and sill-length curtains for kitchens and breakfast rooms, and sheer panels that soften Uptown's high-rise light without giving up the skyline. Unlike a blind or shade, drapery is chosen as much by hand and eye as by measurement: fabric weight, lining, pleat style and hardware all show, every day, at furniture scale.
That is why the consultation happens in your home with real fabric. We look at the room's light — sheers that glow at noon can vanish by evening — hold fabrics against your upholstery and flooring, and measure for the details that separate custom from ready-made: panels that just kiss the floor or break slightly, fullness that folds deeply instead of hanging flat, linings that protect the face fabric from Dallas UV and add real light and temperature control. Drapery also layers: over a roller shade or blinds, panels add the blackout, insulation and softness the hard covering cannot. Call (214) 347-0692 and we will start with the room you most want to finish.
What You Get with Our Drapery & Curtains
Custom-measured panels
Made to your window and your floor line — kissing, breaking or puddling by design, not by accident.
Lined for Dallas sun
Quality linings protect face fabrics from UV fading and add privacy, insulation and drape. Blackout lining for bedrooms.
Sheers for high-rise light
Sheer and voile panels that cut glare and soften the view in Uptown condos while keeping the daylight.
Pleats & hardware
Pinch, goblet, grommet and ripple-fold styles on rods and tracks specified to carry the fabric's real weight.
Layering that works
Panels designed over your blinds or shades — the classic Dallas combination for bedrooms and living rooms.
Installed & dressed
Hung, steamed and dressed in place, with folds trained so the panels fall the way they were designed to.
Options & Materials
The design conversation starts with the room's job. Living and dining rooms usually want lined decorative panels — stationary at the sides for the tailored look, over a working shade or blind for daily light control. Bedrooms want traversing panels with blackout lining that actually close. Kitchens want washable, shorter lengths. Fabric comes next, sampled in your light: natural fibers drape beautifully and need the lining's protection; performance fabrics shrug off sun and family life. Then pleat style and hardware — rod pocket is casual, pinch pleat is tailored, ripple fold is the modern high-rise look — with rods and finials matched to the room's other metals. Fullness, length and lining are all specified and priced in writing before fabric is cut, because custom drapery cannot be un-cut.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
- 1
Free consultation & measuring
It starts with a free consultation. We look at your existing openings, talk through what you want to change, take exact measurements and note anything unusual — out-of-square frames, deep sills, HOA rules — that affects the plan.
- 2
Written quote, no pressure
You receive a written quote that spells out the product, the scope and the total price. No vague allowances, no pressure to sign on the spot. Take the time you need to compare.
- 3
Order & scheduling
Once you approve, your products are ordered or made to the exact measurements from step one. We confirm an installation date that fits your schedule and tell you how long the work will take.
- 4
Installation day
Our installers protect floors and furniture, remove the old units, fit the new ones, seal and trim the openings, and test every unit before they leave. Most homes are finished the same day.
- 5
Walkthrough & cleanup
We walk the finished work with you, show you how everything operates, register any warranty paperwork and take all packaging and old materials away. The room is left clean and ready to use.
Care & Maintenance
Most drapery wants gentle, regular care: a monthly pass with the vacuum's upholstery brush on low suction, working top to bottom, keeps Dallas dust from settling into folds. Sheers can usually be gently washed or dry-cleaned per their fabric — we tell you exactly which yours are at installation. Keep lined panels out of prolonged direct soaking, and steam rather than iron pleats back into shape. Open and close traversing panels by their wands or cords rather than pulling the fabric itself, so pleats and headings last. If a panel fades unevenly, a hem drops or hardware loosens, call (214) 347-0692 — drapery is repairable, alterable work, and small fixes keep it beautiful.
What Affects the Price?
No two homes in Dallas are the same, so honest pricing starts with a look at your actual project. These are the factors that move the number most:
- Fabric selection and yardage — fullness drives quantity
- Lining — standard, privacy or blackout
- Length and style — sill, floor-kiss, break or puddle
- Pleat style and hardware — rods, tracks, finials
- Working vs. stationary panels, and any layering underneath

Drapery & Curtains — Frequently Asked Questions
Should my drapery be working or stationary?+
It depends on the room. Stationary side panels give the tailored, finished look for less fabric cost, with a shade or blind underneath doing the daily work — the most common Dallas living-room plan. Bedrooms usually deserve fully working, blackout-lined panels that close. We price both honestly at the consultation.
How long should drapery panels be?+
The tailored standard is panels that just kiss the floor; a slight break (an extra half-inch to an inch) reads relaxed and luxurious; puddling is a deliberate, formal choice that needs the room to suit it. We measure to your floor — which is rarely as level as it looks — and show you each length against your window.
Will the Dallas sun fade my drapery?+
Unprotected fabric on south or west glass will fade — that is exactly what the lining is for. A quality lining takes the UV hit, protects the face fabric, and adds body and insulation. For the harshest exposures we will steer you to performance fabrics and say so plainly.
Can drapery go over my existing blinds or shades?+
Yes — layering is the classic combination. Panels add softness, insulation and blackout; the blind or shade underneath keeps its precise daily light control. One visit measures the whole window so rod placement, returns and clearances all work together.
How much do drapery & curtains cost?+
The honest answer is that it depends on size, material and the condition of the existing opening. Beware of anyone who quotes a firm price without measuring. Park Window Coverings measures first and then gives you a written quote with the full price — free — so you can compare it properly.
How long does a typical drapery & curtains project take?+
Measuring and ordering take the first part of the timeline; the on-site work for most homes is completed in a day. Larger or custom projects take longer, and we give you the schedule in writing before you commit, so you can plan around it.
Do you offer free estimates?+
Yes — call (214) 347-0692 and we will arrange a free consultation and written quote. There is no obligation and no pressure to decide on the spot.
Do you serve my part of Dallas?+
Park Window Coverings serves the areas listed on our Service Areas page. If your neighborhood is close to a listed area but not named, call us — we will tell you straight away whether we can reach you.
What should I prepare before installation day?+
Clear the area around each opening, take down curtains or blinds if we are not replacing them, and move fragile items away from the work zone. Our team protects floors and furniture, and removes the old units and packaging when the job is done.
Can drapery & curtains be customized for unusual sizes or shapes?+
In most cases, yes. Arches, angled tops, oversized openings and out-of-square frames are measured individually and made or ordered to fit. Bring us the awkward opening — it is usually the one that benefits most from a custom solution.
What information helps my quote be accurate?+
Rough measurements (width × height in inches), a photo of each opening, and a note about what you want to change. Send those when you call (214) 347-0692 and your written quote will be faster and closer to the final number.
What happens if something is not right after the job?+
Call us. Park Window Coverings stands behind its work: if something we supplied or installed is not right, we come back and make it right. That is how a local business keeps its name — one fixed problem at a time.
