Carol Fabric Custom Drapes for Sheer Modern Elegance

Carole Fabrics Custom Drapes is a fully functional drapery and stationary side panel. They are perfect for layering or on their own. You can select from over 4000 fabric and color choices. You can also choose from other styles such as pleated, non-pleated, and Ripplefold™. The aesthetic of any drapery isn't just about the fabric and style but also the hardware. We carry premium custom hardware in a generous range of finishes.


For further appeal, you can use decorative trim, cords, tapes, and fringes in various patterns and colors. If you want to open your window to the view, use fabric tiebacks to gather the drapes to the side or in the middle. If you want a cohesive, blended look, you can use fabrics by the yard and match your furniture upholstery and pillows with matching patterns. You can also opt for tailored liners to darken your room and add insulation with a brushed flannel between the lining and the fabric.

Luminette® Sheer Panels for Modern Sophistication

Luminette® Sheer Panels are another excellent drapery solution for your modern home. They are made from vertical sheer panels for a sleek, contemporary look. They are perfect for large windows, transforming the incoming light into a soft glow while simultaneously allowing for day and nighttime privacy.


You can select from over 80 fabric and color choices ranging from soft whites, dreamy pastels, and wealthy urban browns and tans. The 3 ½" rotating vanes allow you to manage your light and privacy with various operating options such as intelligent automation, wand and cord, and traveling wand. You also won't have to worry about UV damage; these sheer panels offer a buffer between your home's interior and the sun. You can rest assured that your floors, furniture, and décor will not fade from the sun's intense rays.

These beautiful window treatments come in a wide array of styles, colors, and designs, but one of the biggest choices that can make a huge difference in the look and performance of these shutters is whether or not they are stained or painted. Both options work, but each comes with its own unique set of visuals and benefits.
