Custom Drapery in Venice
Warmth, color, and a finished look for island cottages and golf-community homes — made-to-measure drapery, designer hardware, and motorized tracks, designed and installed by a local family-owned studio.
Why custom drapery finishes a Venice room
Venice homes span a lot of styles — historic island cottages, tidy golf-community villas, and Gulf-front condos — but they share one thing: hard coastal surfaces that can leave a room feeling unfinished. Custom drapery is the layer that softens it, bringing warmth, color, and a sense of scale that off-the-rack panels never quite deliver.
Made-to-measure is the whole point. We fabricate panels to the exact ceiling height and window width, choose the right fullness and heading — ripplefold for a clean modern wave, pinch pleat for something more tailored — and pair them with hardware or a motorized track. Many Venice clients layer drapery over solar shades for daytime glare control and evening softness. See our pricing policy for how we quote.
What made-to-measure drapery brings to a room
The reasons drapery is the finishing layer in so many Venice homes and condos.
Made to your exact windows
Panels are fabricated to the precise height and width of each opening, so they hang perfectly in cottages, villas, and condos alike.
Softness & scale
Drapery adds warmth, color, and vertical scale that make hard-edged coastal rooms feel finished and inviting.
Better acoustics
Fabric absorbs sound, taking the echo off open-plan Venice rooms with tile floors and lots of glass.
Ripplefold or pinch pleat
Choose a clean modern ripplefold wave or a tailored pinch pleat, in fabrics and linings selected for your light and style.
Layer over shades
Pair drapery with a solar or roller shade so one window gives you daytime glare control and evening privacy and softness.
Workroom quality
Our drapery is fabricated and installed to a true custom standard by a family-owned local studio — measured and hung in person.
What we plan for on Venice drapery projects
Getting drapery right in a Venice home comes down to a few details we work through with you.
Historic-district cottages
For island cottages we scale panels and hardware to smaller, older windows so drapery adds warmth without overwhelming the room.
Sun-facing fabrics
For west-facing and Gulf-front rooms we specify fade-resistant fabrics and linings that stand up to intense coastal light.
Layering with shades
Where you want both function and softness, we plan drapery over a solar or roller shade so each does its job without fighting the other.
Seasonal & motorized tracks
For seasonal owners and hard-to-reach openings we install motorized tracks that can run on a schedule while you’re away.
What Venice homeowners say about their custom drapery
We had a great experience working with Nick on our plantation shutters and smart drapes. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and really knew his products. Everything turned out beautifully and we couldn’t be happier with how it all looks in our home. The smart drapes are especially amazing! Highly recommend Nick and his team!
Jennifer Liu
Finding Nick and his team has been a lifesaver for my business. Nick is a true partner that I've worked with on several clients to bring window treatments to. From shutters to custom drapery, they do it all. They are such a pleasure to work with, the customer service and quality of their work is second to none. I won't use anyone else!

Custom drapery questions from Venice homeowners
What’s the difference between ripplefold and pinch-pleat drapery?
Ripplefold hangs in a continuous, uniform S-wave for a clean, modern look. Pinch pleat gathers the fabric into tailored pleats at the top for a more traditional appearance that suits Venice’s historic cottages. We help you choose based on your home’s style and hardware.
Can drapery work in a smaller island cottage?
Yes. We scale the panel fullness, length, and hardware to the room so drapery adds warmth and finish without overwhelming a smaller, older window — a common request in Venice’s historic district.
Should I layer drapery over shades?
It is one of the most popular approaches in Venice. A solar or roller shade handles daytime heat and glare while preserving the view, and drapery adds softness, color, and evening privacy. We plan both together so they work as one.
Will the fabric fade in our strong Gulf light?
We specify fade-resistant fabrics and quality linings for sun-facing Venice rooms, which dramatically slows fading. Lining also protects the face fabric and improves how the panels hang and insulate.
Is the in-home consultation free?
It is. A designer visits your Venice home, measures each opening, shows you fabrics and heading styles in your own light, and provides a written quote at no cost and no obligation.
