When you walk into a beautifully designed Winnipeg home, your eyes are drawn to the obvious: the color on the walls, the flooring, the carefully curated furniture. But there’s one element that often goes unnoticed—until it’s done wrong. The one decision that quietly shapes every room’s light, comfort, and atmosphere: window coverings.

Looking for new custom drapery or window coverings to complete your home for the upcoming holiday season? We are here to help!
Custom drapery solves design challenges that standard coverings often cannot. It works for large windows, unusual shapes, and layered light control, but it’s especially valuable for tricky or unconventional spaces. Curved windows, cornered windows, narrow side lites by doors, and windows on short walls can all be difficult to cover with off-the-shelf treatments.
Similarly, rooms that require complete darkness for media viewing or walls where drapery is used to create a striking feature wall often demand wall-to-wall solutions.
With the right fabrics, hardware, and design approach, drapery can transform these challenging spaces into functional, beautiful focal points while maintaining style, proportion, and flow throughout the room.
For many homeowners, this is where working with a design expert makes all the difference. Our Blinds Are Beautiful specialists guide clients through creative possibilities they may not have considered, turning challenging windows into exciting design opportunities.
Explore the examples below to see how thoughtful custom drapery solutions have helped homeowners in Winnipeg and the surrounding areas achieve both function and stunning design.
This space features a beautiful set of windows with an elegant curve. Custom sheers installed on a curved track were the ideal solution. They follow the natural shape of the window, creating visual continuity while highlighting the architecture and enhancing the overall appeal of the space.
This homeowner had a set of windows in the lower area of the house in which they wanted to create a luxurious media space. Blackout lined crushed velvet drapery panels were the answer!
Windows on either side of a door can be a challenge to cover at times because of their narrow width. This creative solution of custom sheer drapery on a rod that extends over the door addressed the need for privacy and also gave the front door an added wow factor.
This Primary bedroom was looking for an ultra luxe approach to covering two small windows and creating a focal point to showcase the bed. Custom drapery in a rich fabric and colour was the perfect solution!
The space between the windows and the corner of the wall was very tight, but this homeowner wanted drapery to customize the room. Drapery hung to extend around the corner created a beautiful statement which matched the scale the space demanded.
What could have been an awkward corner to cover with blinds or shades was a custom drapery dream when combined with a specialty track that neatly covers both windows to create a seamless look.
Some Winnipeg homes have windows which open into the room creating challenges when privacy is required. This creative approach not only provided a great solution but also added to the existing charm of the home.
