The Drapery Shop

We recently had three different bay window treatments completed by the Drapery Shop and we were very happy with the experience and the results. First of all, the whole process was professional and transparent -- fees, receipts and credits for the initial visit/measuring were all made clear, as was the timing of each visit and installation, and there was no "upselling" to pricier options. (Christina discreetly let us know when our attention turned from some cheaper fabrics to more expensive ones so there wouldn't be any surprises.)

The staff of The Drapery Shop are definitely of the "measure twice, cut once" school -- in fact, they literally came out to measure twice just in case some other renos had affected their initial measurements. We got the advice and products we needed based on each different window and room; for example, we had the same curtains installed in the living room and dining room, but in the dining room, where we never need to close the curtains, she advised side panels only with the sheers, while the room with windows that face the street got full panels. Christina spent a lot of time at our home looking at our rooms/paint colours and going over different options. She brought a ton of swatch books to our house and we also visited the showroom twice, which helped with picking out rods and pleat styles. Her advice was unobtrusive but insightful -- we definitely didn't feel we were being steered towards a particular look, but when we needed guidance she was able to give it to us.

Most importantly, the end result is gorgeous in every case. We went for two quite different looks and styles and both were perfectly executed and look better than we had dared to expect. They're really beautiful, suit the rooms and operate smoothly. We will definitely turn to The Drapery Shop for future work and would recommend them to others.
