Custom drapery is one of the most impactful design decisions in any home. The right fabric, pleat style, length, and layering can raise ceilings, soften architecture, and make a room feel genuinely complete.
At Ventus, we bring a curated fabric collection to your home, help you visualize the finished result, and handle installation ourselves — rods, brackets, and all.
Linen blends, velvets, sheers, blackout — curated collections in hundreds of colorways, all brought to your door.
Pinch pleat, ripple fold, grommet, tab top — we help you choose the style that fits your architecture and vision.
Rods, finials, and brackets are part of the design. We source them, supply them, and install them with no extra fees
Add a sheer layer for softness during the day and privacy at night, we design the full layered look as one cohesive system.
Most frequently asked questions by our clients
In the trade, "drapery" generally refers to heavier, lined, fully custom fabric panels — usually floor-length, often pleated, and supplied with matched hardware. "Curtains" tend to be lighter, unlined, off-the-shelf panels in standard sizes. Everything Ventus produces is custom drapery: cut to your exact window dimensions, with the lining, header, and hardware specified to match the room.
The header style — pinch pleat, grommet top, rod pocket, back tab, or ring ready — sets the overall character of the drape. Pinch pleat is the most tailored and traditional. Grommet top reads modern and operates smoothly across a rod. Rod pocket has a soft, casual gathering. Back tab gives a clean, uninterrupted fall from rod to floor. Ring ready works with decorative drapery rings for a refined finish. At your consultation, we show you each header in person and discuss which suits your room's architecture and your existing furnishings.
The most common professional specifications are: a "kiss" (drape just touches the floor), a "break" (drape rests with a slight bunching on the floor — currently the most popular look), or a "puddle" (4–8 inches of fabric pools on the floor, a more traditional, opulent choice). Floating hems that stop above the floor look unintentional and date a room quickly, so we generally steer clients toward a kiss or light break unless a puddle is specifically desired. We measure to your preferred length precisely.
Absolutely, and we recommend it for many rooms. Layering soft drapery over functional shades or blinds gives you both the precise light control of the shade and the warmth, softness, and finished look of drapery. Many of our clients add drapery to rooms where they already have roller shades, cellular shades, or shutters from previous projects.
We work primarily with Lafayette Interior Fashions, which offers hundreds of fabrics including linens, velvets, sheers, blackouts, performance fabrics, and decorative woven textiles. We bring fabric books to your consultation and present a curated selection based on your style, lighting, and budget — rather than overwhelming you with everything at once.
