Made-to-Measure Drapes & Roman Shades

Since 1983, people have been choosing Arlene’s Interiors for their made- to-measure drapes (or curtains) and roman shades because of our fabric selection, Lifestyle product enhancements, hardware selection and professional decorating services.

Our customers appreciate the perfect fit and functionality of a custom window covering and how superior they are to off-the-shelf products.

Fabric selection

Arlene’s has always been known for fabrics. We offer thousands of designer home decorating fabrics in-stock at each of our stores from exceptional brands such as Laura Ashley, Waverly, Robert Allen, Sunbrella and more – all at competitive prices.

Our huge selection means you’ll find the perfect fabric – pattern, colour, texture and weight – for any window. We carry full bolts, not just samples, so you can truly visualize the full effect of how it will look on your window. Check out some of my favourites.

Lifestyle product enhancements

Arlene’s Lifestyle window coverings are more than just a great decorative element in a room. With a full range of specialty linings to choose from, they can provide many benefits to fit your lifestyle:

• Lifestyle Blackout – create the ideal sleeping environment by blocking virtually 100% of incoming light. Perfect for kids’ rooms, shift workers, light sleepers and home theatres. Learn more
• Lifestyle Thermal – reduce energy costs by keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer by blocking drafts and heat absorption from windows. Learn more
• Lifestyle SoundGuard – reduce incoming noise from street traffic, neighbours, city noise, etc. by dampening and absorbing sound. Learn more
• Lifestyle Light-filtering Sheers – filter incoming light while keeping your view. Sheers diffuse harmful UV rays, protecting your furnishings, and also reduce glare on your electronics. Learn more

Hardware selection

Arlene’s boasts one of the largest selections of drapery and roman shade hardware in the Lower Mainland. From simplistic tracks, rods, rings and finials to solar-powered motorized drapery tracks with remote control operation – we have everything you need to perfectly finish your window.

Motorization options

Arlene’s can add motorization with remote control operation to virtually any window covering, including drapes, roman shades and sheers. You can easily adjust the light and privacy for any window, including tall or hard-to-reach areas such as stairwells and great rooms. You can even set a timer to operate your window coverings when you’re away from home, protecting your furnishings from UV rays and increasing the security of your home.

Professional decorating services

Arlene’s creative professionals will ensure that your window covering has all the elements – fabric, lining, trim and hardware – to ensure the perfect fit and functionality for your lifestyle. We can measure your windows and help you choose the right elements for your room and window.

Our workrooms can produce your drapes or roman shades and we can even install your window treatment when it’s ready.
