All-in-One User Guide

Choosing custom curtains or shades does not have to feel complicated. Follow this step-by-step guide to choose the right style, measure your window, place your order, and install your new window treatments with confidence.

Your Window Treatment Journey

  • 1. Find Your Style

    Start with the look and function you want for your space.

    Choose shades for a clean, tailored look, curtains and drapery for softness and texture, or combine both for a more layered finish. Then consider how much light you want:

    • Light-filtering options soften daylight while maintaining a bright, comfortable room.
    • Blackout options help reduce incoming light and add privacy, making them ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, and spaces where rest matters.
    • Sheer fabrics create an airy, elegant finish while gently diffusing sunlight.

    Explore rooms, fabrics, colors, and finished looks before choosing your product.

  • 2. Measure Your Window

    Accurate measurements help ensure your custom treatment fits and functions beautifully.

    First, decide how you would like it mounted:

    • Inside Mount fits neatly within the window frame for a clean, built-in appearance.
    • Outside Mount is installed above or around the window frame, offering broader coverage and a more dramatic look.

    Our measuring guide will show you exactly what to measure for shades, curtains, rods, and tracks. Prefer professional help? You can also hire a local handyman through Thumbtack or another local service platform to measure your windows for you.

  • 3. Customize and Place Your Order

    Once you have your measurements, choose the options that work best for your home directly on the product page.

    For shades, select your preferred style, material, color, mount type, dimensions, and control option.

    For curtains and drapery, choose your fabric, color, header style, lining, finished size, and the rod or track system that suits your space.

    Each product page guides you through the available options step by step. If color or texture is important to your decision, ordering fabric swatches first is always a good idea.

  • 4. Install and Enjoy

    After your order is custom-made, quality-checked, and shipped, it is ready for installation.

    Many treatments can be installed at home with basic tools and our step-by-step installation instructions. If you would rather have professional assistance, you can hire a local handyman or installer to complete the work for you.

    Our installation page includes product-specific instructions and guidance on finding local installation help, so you can choose the option that feels right for you.
