Equal Housing LenderDesign Custom Draperies Uniquely for Your Home – With Expert Help
When you consider custom draperies, you’re investing in a style and functional element of your home that will last for years to come.
We don’t offer pre-packaged panels of draperies already cut to “standard” sizes. If we did, it wouldn’t be custom.
Instead, work one-on-one with a Design Expert in the comfort of your own home to create your perfect dream draperies during your complimentary consultation.
When you create custom drapes, you know you’re getting exactly what you want.
Choosing the Right Custom Drapery Fabric for your LA Home
When you work with us, we’ll help you create a style that is not only beautiful but functional, starting with style!
From patterns to texture, colors to accenting add-ons, your custom drapes will fit your décor, your tastes, and your dream look with ease.
Some patterns play well in only small amounts, while others are designed to cover large spaces. Some textures may look beautiful in a large area, but not have the look you want when covering only small areas. Different fabrics hang differently too, making some preferred or not ideal for various pleats.
We don’t expect you to know, but it’s our job, so you can trust that your fabric will look gorgeous on the rack AND on your wall. Our experts will help guide you to choosing a style you love that will also help you create a space you love.
Whether you want to add contrast for a cozy feel, lighten a space with sheers, or create a dramatic feel with jewel tones, we will help you pick the perfect fabric for your new draperies.
Draperies for Insultation or Light Control
Light and temperature play a large role in our window treatments, no matter what style you desire.
Your custom drapes can help block heat from coming indoors, or allow in softly filtered light.
When you want to let in natural light, sheer drapes are always a winner. Gently filtered light helps eliminate harsh shadows that can negatively affect your mood, and also allow you some privacy without blocking all sunshine.
On the flip side, sometimes our windows, especially in Southern California, let in too much heat. This is where insulating fabrics come into play! Fabric is one of the best insulating window treatments because you can opt for multiple layers with liners, various thicknesses, and more to combat the heat. If this is your concern, we’ll also help you pick fabrics that won’t be ruined by the sunlight just a few years down the road.
Fabric weight or thickness can also create luxurious, dramatic styles. Most people opt for these in media rooms and bedrooms.
Whether you want to have an airy, soft feel to a space or a dramatic area to watch movies without glare, we’ll help you choose the right fabric weights for your custom draperies.
Choose the Right Drapery Hardware
Hardware seems simple enough – it’s a rod the draperies hang from and slide back and forth across, right? Not so fast.
Drapery hardware is like jewelry – it’s a finishing touch. But it also determines how well your drapes work.
From shiny metal rods with angular end caps to wooden rods with decorative finials, hardware itself is just as important of a design element on your custom draperies as the fabric and pleats.
The hardware needs to be strong enough to hold the materials you choose too. If you opted for more luxurious, light-blocking draperies, some hardware simply won’t be strong enough to hold it, or it may be difficult to operate.
Likewise, depending on the location of your drapes, you may discover certain methods to operate your draperies would be either inconvenient or even potentially dangerous. (No more balancing on the back of the couch to try to pull the panels closed, please!)
Our experts will help you select a style of hardware that matches your home and will function perfectly for easy-to-use drapes you’ll love.
Custom Drapes for Any Sized Window
Some people think there’s such a thing as a “standard” size for windows. Those people would be wrong. It’s one of many reasons custom draperies win out over pre-packaged panel sets – you’d be lucky to find the perfect size and fit for your unique home.
Whether your window is 2 feet by 2 feet or 20 feet tall, we’ve got you covered.
Small windows, like a kitchen window, often have decorative fabrics that add a little kitsch and personality to a space. Those are always a pleasant project with pleasant outcomes.
However, sometimes our clients have two-story tall windows that are more a glass wall than a window itself. And we’ve created custom draperies for those as well!
Knowing what hardware can hold fabric for large windows and still operate, or what hardware will look light and cheerful for an accent window is all a part of our job.
No matter how large or small your window is – or even if it’s uniquely shaped – our experts will help you visualize your perfect draperies.
Motorized & Automated Custom Draperies
Modern homeowners are choosing motorized window treatments more often these days. In fact, more than one-third of our clients opt for motorization!
Motorized draperies is a dream come true – and a wise investment!
While it seems counterintuitive, motorized window treatments can actually save you money. People tend to operate their window treatments infrequently, or only partially, as manual controls can be inconvenient to use or even hard-to-reach. When you motorize them, however, they are typically used multiple times per day!
This means you can also program your draperies to close before the sun hits your window and lets heat into your home. This reduces your cooling energy bills, and even helps prevent sun damage and fading to your floors, furniture, and art work.
You can also set schedules so you wake up to gentle sunlight instead of a blaring alarm. Or wake up your teens without having to venture into their rooms. (A big bonus!)
We’re experts in Somfy motors, one of the top motorization manufacturers in window treatments, awnings, and more for home and business use. Our installers undergo training to truly understand how to program, operate, and troubleshoot any issues.
Motorized draperies simply back life easier – and can save you money.

Wonder what other people think about Galaxy Draperies?
"Great experience end to end with Galaxy. From the initial consult to the end product, communication was clear and everyone I interacted with was lovely. Highly recommended this company!"
"From scheduling our appointment to meeting with our designer, Bernadette, and the installer, Alfredo, we were met with professionalism and comforted in knowing we were dealing with people who knew what they were doing. Arrival times were well within the two-hour window. Bernadette shared her knowledge and expertise to help us choose the window treatments that best fit our needs and budget. We are so pleased with the final result and look forward to covering the rest of the window in our home."
"It was such an easy process from start to finish. I gave my vision and they gave me a few options to choose from. Easy to schedule. John our installer was so pleasant. Install was quick and easy. Motorized shades are my new favorite thing. Will definitely use Galaxy Draperies again."
"My wife and I recently moved and were in the market for new shades for our bathroom , living room and kitchen . We didn't really have a set vision so it was unbelievable when our designer Karen went through all the possibilities and showed us what would work well with the setup . Karen was not only very professional , she was personable and super knowledgeable about the products. I wish I could have her design the rest of our house ! Great product , great designer, great experience!"
"I had a great experience with Galaxy. The designer presented me with several options and was very helpful in designing my window treatments. The installers were very professional, courteous, and careful! I will definitely use them in the future!"
"I would like to say that Galaxy Draperies was the best choice we've made. We recently purchased a new home and wanted to thank Bernadette for the amazing service she provided. I was referred to her by my sister, which also happened to purchase through you guys. Not only did Bernadette make me feel comfortable but it felt like I was working with family."
"Ordered Roman Shades for five windows. Designer who came to our home was nice and professional, Roman Shades arrived on time, the installation was handled by their installer who called and asked if he could come by earlier than our appointment, which was great. He was friendly, professional and did a great job! Highly recommend this company."
"Galaxy Draperies was very professional, timely and responsive to the issue we had with one of the new shades. From their design team to the installation, everyone was very nice, informative and helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing new window coverings."
"I just used Galaxy Draperies. I had a very heavy window covering which was mostly impossible to use. We looked at options and Galaxy Draperies suggested we use a motorized window covering. The material is beautiful and it's made so well. You can't see through from outside in yet you can see outside from inside the house. It works so quietly and solved all my problems. The wonderful lady who came to our house was great and always returned calls and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend them."
"Everything about the experience was terrific - from the sales person, the measure to the installer. They made it easy, gave me several price points and advised me throughout the process. I love my blinds!"
