Ever wonder why some drapery looks rich and luxurious while other panels seem a little flat? Fabric fullness makes a big difference.

Fullness refers to how much fabric is used compared with the width of your window or drapery rod. More fullness creates deeper folds and a softer, more substantial appearance, while less fullness produces a cleaner, more streamlined look.

The ideal amount also depends on the fabric, pleat style, and overall look you want to achieve—which is why custom drapery is about much more than simply choosing a beautiful fabric.

At Vertical Vic's, we’ll help you get every detail right, from fabric and fullness to pleat style and hardware.

Wish your windows looked a little bigger? You may not need to change the windows at all.

The way custom drapery is positioned can completely change their proportions. Installing the drapery hardware above the window frame draws the eye upward, creating the illusion of taller windows and higher ceilings. Extending the rod beyond each side of the window allows the fabric to frame the glass rather than cover it, making the window appear wider and letting more natural light into the room when the panels are open.

Add properly sized, floor-length panels, and even an average-sized window can suddenly feel much more substantial.

At Vertical Vic's, we’ll help you choose the right drapery length, fullness, hardware placement, and fabric to flatter your windows and enhance the proportions of your entire room.

Are your blinds starting to show their age?

Bent or broken slats, difficult operation, discoloration, frayed cords, or blinds that no longer close properly are all signs it may be time for an upgrade. And sometimes, your blinds still work—they just no longer fit the style or needs of your home.

New custom blinds can give your windows a fresh look while improving everyday light control, privacy, and ease of use.

At Vertical Vic's, we’ll help you replace outdated blinds with a custom solution designed for your windows and the way you live.

Big windows deserve to be enjoyed—but all that glass can also mean glare, heat, and a lot less privacy.

Roller shades are a great option for large windows because their streamlined design provides coverage without adding visual bulk. With the right fabric, you can filter harsh sunlight, reduce glare, increase privacy, or create a darker room when needed. And for especially wide or hard-to-reach windows, motorization can make adjusting your shades effortless.

Proper measuring and product selection are especially important with oversized windows. At Vertical Vic's, we’ll help you choose roller shades that are designed to fit your windows beautifully and provide the light control your space needs.

Small windows need the right proportions, too.

For compact windows, blinds with slimmer slats and a clean, tailored fit can provide privacy and precise light control without making the window feel crowded. Choosing the right material, color, and mounting style can also help a smaller window feel more open and intentional.

At Vertical Vic's, we’ll help you find custom blinds that fit your smaller windows beautifully while making the most of every inch.

How dark do you actually want your bedroom to be?

Light-filtering cellular shades soften harsh sunlight and maintain a bright, comfortable atmosphere during the day. Blackout cellular shades are designed for significantly greater light blockage, making them ideal for light-sensitive sleepers, nurseries, or anyone who prefers a darker bedroom.

Either way, the cellular construction adds an insulating layer at the window for added comfort.

At Vertical Vic's, we’ll help you choose the right fabric and opacity based on how you sleep, when your room gets sunlight, and the level of privacy you need.

New window treatments are an investment in your home—so before you choose based on looks alone, ask these five questions:

1️⃣ How much light control do I need?
A sunny living room may need glare reduction, while a bedroom might benefit from room-darkening or blackout options.

2️⃣ How important is privacy?
Consider what your windows face and how much privacy you need during both the day and evening.

3️⃣ What material works best for the room?
Humidity, direct sunlight, kids, pets, and everyday use can all influence whether blinds, shades, shutters, or drapery are the best fit.

4️⃣ How do I want to operate them?
Cordless and motorized options can make your window treatments safer, easier to use, and more convenient—especially on large or hard-to-reach windows.

5️⃣ Will they complement the rest of my home?
Color, texture, fabric, finish, and mounting style all play a role in creating a cohesive, finished look.

Not sure how to answer all five? That’s exactly where professional guidance makes a difference. At Vertical Vic's, we’ll help you compare your options and design custom window treatments around your home, lifestyle, and priorities.

Thinking about investing in interior shutters? Before you choose, make sure you're asking the right questions.

1️⃣ What shutter material works best for this room? Wood and composite options each offer different benefits depending on the space.

2️⃣ What louver size should I choose? Louver size affects your view, light control, and the overall look of your shutters.

3️⃣ Which color and finish will complement my home? Your shutters can blend seamlessly with your trim or become a more noticeable design feature.

4️⃣ How much privacy and light control do I need? The right configuration should work with how you actually use the room throughout the day.

5️⃣ Who will measure and install them? A precise fit and professional installation are essential for shutters to look and operate the way they should.
