Custom Drapery & Curtains in Charleston, SC
Elevate your Charleston home with custom drapery crafted from the world's finest fabrics. From elegant silk panels to durable performance textiles, every detail is tailored to your style, your windows, and your life.
The Finest Fabrics for Lowcountry Living
Curated collections from the world's top textile mills
Custom drapery begins with the perfect fabric. Unlike off-the-rack curtains limited to a handful of generic options, our custom program gives you access to over 500 designer fabrics sourced from premium textile mills. Every fabric is available for you to touch, drape, and see in your own home before making a decision.
For Charleston's elegant historic homes, our silk collection delivers unmatched luster and drape. The way silk catches and diffuses light creates a luminous quality that no synthetic can replicate. We offer both natural silk and silk blends that maintain the look while adding durability for high-traffic rooms.
Linen has become the fabric of choice for coastal Lowcountry interiors. Its relaxed texture and organic drape perfectly complement the casual elegance that defines Charleston style. Our linen options range from light, airy sheers to heavy, structured panels that make a statement.
For families with children or pets, our performance fabrics are a game changer. These engineered textiles look and feel like natural fibers but resist stains, fading, and moisture. Spill a glass of wine? It wipes right off. They're also inherently resistant to the mold and mildew that can plague natural fabrics in Charleston's humidity.
Silk & Silk Blends
Luxurious sheen and elegant drape. Perfect for formal living rooms, dining rooms, and master bedrooms in Charleston's grand homes. Pairs beautifully with pinch pleat and goblet headers.
Linen & Cotton
Relaxed coastal elegance with natural texture. The quintessential Lowcountry fabric choice. Available in light sheers through heavy structured panels for any room and any mood.
Velvet
Rich, dramatic texture with excellent thermal and sound insulating properties. Velvet drapes add depth and warmth to bedrooms, libraries, and formal spaces. Naturally blocks light for superior room darkening.
Performance Fabrics
Engineered for real life. Stain-resistant, fade-resistant, and moisture-resistant while looking and feeling like natural fibers. The smart choice for families with kids, pets, or high-traffic rooms.
Styles, Lining & Hardware
Every detail custom-tailored to your vision
Pleat & Header Styles
Pinch Pleat
The classic choice for traditional and transitional interiors. Two or three-finger pinch creates structured, tailored folds that hang beautifully.
Ripplefold
Sleek, modern waves that glide effortlessly on a track system. The most popular style for contemporary Charleston homes and the best choice for motorized drapery tracks.
Grommet
Metal rings threaded directly onto the rod for a casual, relaxed look with deep, even folds. Popular for bedrooms and family rooms with a modern aesthetic.
Rod Pocket
A sewn channel slides directly over the rod for a gathered, romantic look. Perfect for sheer panels and cottage-style Charleston interiors.
Lining Options
Standard Lining
White cotton sateen that protects fabric from UV damage, adds body to the drape, and provides light filtering. The minimum recommended lining for Charleston sun exposure.
Blackout Lining
Multi-layer construction that blocks 99%+ of light. Essential for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms. Also provides superior thermal insulation and sound dampening.
Thermal Lining
Insulating backing that reduces heat transfer through your windows. A smart choice for south- and west-facing windows in Charleston where summer heat gain is most intense.
Interlining
A layer of soft flannel between fabric and lining that adds luxurious weight, improves drape, and enhances insulation. The premium choice for silk and linen panels.
Motorized Drapery Tracks
Open and close your drapes with a voice command, phone tap, or automated schedule. Motorized tracks are whisper-quiet, glide smoothly, and integrate with Alexa, Google Home, and other smart systems. They're especially valuable for large, heavy drapes that are difficult to operate by hand and for hard-to-reach windows.
Ripplefold drapery pairs perfectly with motorized tracks, creating a sleek, contemporary look that operates effortlessly. We handle everything from track sizing to wiring to final programming.

Layering Drapery with Blinds & Shades
The most sophisticated window treatments in Charleston combine custom drapery with functional blinds or shades underneath. This layered approach gives you the beauty and warmth of drapes with the precise light control and privacy of blinds.
Popular combinations include sheer linen panels over roller shades, silk drapes with cellular shades for energy efficiency, and velvet curtains layered over plantation shutters for a grand, traditional look. We design and install the complete layered treatment as one coordinated system.
Our measuring and installation process is meticulous. We measure every window to the nearest 1/8 inch, accounting for wall irregularities, floor clearance, and any existing hardware. Custom drapery is fabricated to your exact specifications, and our installation team handles mounting, steaming, and final adjustments to ensure every panel hangs perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about custom drapery in Charleston
How much do custom drapes cost in Charleston?
Custom drapery typically ranges from $300 to $1,500+ per window depending on fabric, lining, style, and window size. Cotton and polyester blends with standard lining start at the lower end, while silk or velvet with blackout lining and interlining are at the premium end. Motorized tracks add $200-500 per window. The only way to get accurate pricing is a free in-home consultation -- call 843-300-2663 to schedule yours.
How do I choose the right fabric?
We make it easy. Our design consultant brings curated fabric samples to your home so you can see how each option looks in your actual light conditions. We consider room usage, sun exposure, privacy needs, style preferences, and lifestyle (kids, pets, etc.) to narrow down the perfect selection. You'll never have to guess how a fabric will look -- you'll see it in person before you commit.
Can drapes be motorized?
Absolutely. Motorized drapery tracks open and close your curtains with a button press, voice command, or automated schedule. They integrate with Alexa, Google Home, and other smart platforms. Motorized tracks are especially popular for large windows, heavy fabrics, and hard-to-reach installations. Ripplefold style drapes work best with motorized tracks.
How long does custom drapery take from order to installation?
Plan for 4-8 weeks total. Fabric sourcing takes 1-2 weeks, custom fabrication and sewing takes 2-4 weeks, and professional installation is typically completed in a single day. Some premium fabrics or complex designs may take slightly longer. We recommend booking your consultation early, especially during spring when our schedule fills quickly.
