Custom Curtains & Drapes | The Yardstick - Campbell, CA

Custom draperies allow your architecture and decor to really shine while also giving you the ability to control lighting, sound and temperature in a room. They offer a great way to highlight natural light or block it entirely, and they also can keep rooms warmer or cooler by adjusting the drapes to your ideal preferences.

Drapes can add customized texture and color to rooms that can give it a look of luxury and opulence. And, not to mention that draperies also help to control lighting, provide added insulation, and add sound abatement.

What’s the Difference Between Curtains and Drapes?

Drapes are usually made from thicker fabrics, are manufactured to block out more light, and often have a more luxurious or formal look and feel to them. Curtains on the other hand are sold in pairs and usually installed over shades or blinds using curtain rods. They are typically made from lighter fabrics compared to drapes. They’ll be more affordable than custom drapes due to lesser fabric being used.

Draperies Add Warmth and Aesthetic to Any Room

Many people feel adding drapery products makes your house a home. They soften the look of “hard” window treatments. Draperies add both real warmth and aesthetic warmth. There is no better insulating product than a well-installed lined drapery. They are an opportunity to truly complete a room by adding both a soft layer of texture and color, and choosing a beautiful fabric and construction. There are many ways to personify your style, whether it be opulent and exotic, crisp and simple, light and airy or complex and layered. We can do it all!

What Does Our Drapery Installation Process Look Like?

At The Yardstick, our design experts will give you a consultation at your home or business so that your drapes will be sure to fit right into the design of your home. 

The most important step in designing window treatments is evaluating the window in relation to the style of the room. Formal rooms usually call for more attention to detail at the window like rich fabrics and elegant ornamentation. They also may call for a perfect drapery rod, which helps to bring such a room together in a harmonious scheme. More informal rooms, however, may require simpler solutions.

We also work with you to visualize how window treatments will appear from the outside of the house. The right drapery rod or curtain rod can really help to complete the picture. The design of the room setting, including its furniture, must also be carefully considered when planning new window treatments. With so many decorating choices today – from English country to Shaker, and postmodern to western – the world of window fashions has expanded to make it possible to coordinate any style you desire.

After we help you choose the right materials for the installation and make our measurements, our installers are able to complete the installation. They are trained to treat your house with respect and to complete your job neatly and professionally. Use our contact page to connect with us.

What Our Customers are Saying

  Motorized shades are far more complex to install than I realized in 2013 when my system of 29 recessed somfy – powered shades was inadequately installed by another company (National Blinds of SF).

THANK HEAVENS FOR THE YARDSTICK — they are saving my system !
They know the best way to install motorized shades so that repairs are easiest and last expensive. In fact, they are so confident in their workmanship that if a repair is needed after the somfy warranty period, Yardstick will charge only for replacement parts, and not labor. I wish I had found the Yardstick 10 years ago. Now, however, with their help, I am prepared for motor failures (2 so far) down the road as the NB system ages. Moreover Yardstick prices are very fair (I checked around the bay area), and their know-how is excellent.
