Finding Custom Curtains and Drapes in Richardson, Texas

If you’ve searched for curtains or drapes in Richardson, TX, you’ve probably noticed the results can be all over the place: big-box stores, online-only brands, and shops that are really just ordering standard sizes.

Here’s the simplest way to think about it:

• If you want something fast and standard, premade curtains might work.
• If you want something that fits perfectly, looks finished, and performs better, custom curtains or drapes from Smartlooks design experts are the better route.

At SmartLooks Window & Wall Decor, we help Richardson-area homeowners and interior design pros actually design custom window treatments that match your home, your windows, and how you actually use each room—then we measure and install them for a clean, professional finish.

Premade curtains and drapes are mass-produced window treatments sold in standard sizes at retail stores and online. They're manufactured in common dimensions like 84 or 96 inches and come in limited fabric choices and colors. While they offer quick availability and lower price points, they might not fit your windows properly, requiring hemming or leaving gaps. The fabric quality and construction typically don't match what you'll find in custom-made treatments.

If your goal is to make a space feel truly “done”—especially in main living areas, dining rooms, primary bedrooms, or homes with larger windows—custom is usually the best fit for you.

Custom window treatments, made specifically for your windows, are based on exact measurements.

A design pro from the SmartLooks team helps you choose from a wide range of fabrics, styles, and hardware options to complement your home's décor. These treatments are cut and sewn to your specifications for a flawless fit.

The process takes longer than buying premade options and is more of an investment, but you'll get higher-quality materials and craftsmanship.

Custom drapes also accommodate unique window shapes, sizes, and your specific light control needs.

Our skilled installers take precise measurements of each window, accounting for mounting preferences and the desired length.
