Window treatments are a significant part of home design. Quality curtains are an investment that should enhance the style and proportions of the windows and become part of the architecture of the house. Most rooms need fabrics, and curtains are a very important element, possibly the most important. Fabrics at a window are so pleasing to the eye, they are the finishing touch to the overall design and may highlight the good features of the room and hide its flaws. For this reason, it is vital that your drapes will be made by an expert to achieve the best look for your home.development and installation.

Client Testimonials

“

We renovated the master bedroom in our c. 1890 Victorian row house which included restoring all of the original trim around reproduction windows. They looked amazing but ultimately we needed to contempate window covering. My wife and I wanted to keep with a period style but really had no idea beyond that. We invited a few window covering companies to give quotes but none of the companies seemed to understand what we were looking for. Then we had Helen over and she quickly understood and expressed excitement for our project. Helen came equipped with a massive assortment of fabrics which she expeditiously assisted us in narrowing down until we found the two perfect fabrics that worked with everything in the room. Helen was quick to provide a quote and while the cost can seem high compared to buying store drapes, there is absolutely no comparison. Helen is passionate about her work and it is reflected in the impeccable quality of her work. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend Helen.

I cannot say enough about Helen’s Drapery. They were most courteous, meticulous, professional and amazing from start to finish. As well as providing excellent and beautiful drapery, valances, blinds, etc., their exquisite taste helped me choose the most stunning window coverings in many rooms of my home including our kitchen, den, bedrooms, etc. I would VERY highly recommend them if you’d like your home to look gorgeous, and you want to work with people who truly care about their work and most of all, pleasing their customers.

Helen’s is a pleasure to work with and her product and service is top notch. We ordered five custom pieces and everything was as promised, beautifully made, on time, and professionally installed. My husband and I are very fussy, and Helen came highly recommended by an equally fussy friend of mine (an interior designer). We are completely delighted and would recommend Helen without reservation.

Helen went above and beyond to provide beautiful powered roman blinds for my living room, dining room and sunroom. The quality and service are impeccable. I look forward to working with Helen again and I would not hesitate to recommend Helen’s Drapery to anyone looking for quality window coverings!

I would highly recommend this company to anyone. This is our third home that Helen has been doing drapery for us. Each time the service was excellent! While doing a home consultation Helen took the time to show, explain and walk us though the whole process of choosing drapery style, fabric, lining and all the way to the ceiling track hardware.
Helen listened to our preferences and came up with a great solutions at a very competitive price! The work was very professional and done with care. The turnaround time for the custom drapery and rollers was quick. The fabric is gorgeous and I’m very impressed with the look. Thank you Helen for making our home beautiful! We love the product and the service.

We engaged Helen to replace the blinds in our condo – we have a corner unit with floor to ceiling windows so there was quite a lot to do. We couldn’t have been happier with the whole process. Helen showed great taste and knowledge in helping us make our selection; we were very happy with the price quoted; our curtains arrived earlier than we expected and then Helen worked I think an eleven-hour day to get everything installed in one day. The attention to detail was impeccable and the end product looks beautiful. We would recommend Helen without any reservations.

We had some dining room curtains made by Helen’s Drapery and the experience was prefect from start to finish. Helen went the extra mile to help us find fabric that was perfect, gave us great advice on style that would work in our dining room, the curtains were ready sooner than she’s said they would be and the quality of the curtains and the installation was excellent. A pleasure to work with Helen. Highly recommended.

Our curtains are exactly the picture we had in mind and complement the rest of the decor beautifully. Helen is a joy to work with: Initially providing a ballpark figure and overall time-frame for completion, helpful assistance in choice of fabric, curtain style, and hardware, communicating clearly, particularly unexpected blips by the fabric manufacturer, being on time with the finished curtains, and meticulous attention to detail during the installation (a two-for-one special because her husband is the installer!). Our curtains are true value for money and a work of art from a highly skilled professional.

Helen turned our downtown condo into a home. The sunroom of our south-facing flat was always unusable, because the direct sunlight was blindingly bright during daylight hours. What’s more, without curtains, we had no escape from downtown Toronto’s urban jungle of looming sky scrapers, traffic, sirens, and 24/7 light pollution. Helen helped us come up with a plan to meet our needs, and the results were so breathtaking that my daughter decided this would be her bedroom. The exquisite blackout drapes can be adjusted to allow just as much daylight as we want into our sunroom and beyond. At night, they keep out the electric light-trespass of the surrounding skyscrapers and buffer the noise and the cold. Aside from these practical benefits, the floor-to-ceiling drapes are just so beautiful and have transformed our downtown condo into a home, a refuge. Helen took great pains to get everything just right. When it came to actually installing the drapes, I put down a plastic drop-sheet, expecting a mess of plaster dust from drilling, etc, etc. I was expecting to have to clean up a big mess afterwards. But Helen used a nifty little industrial vacuum to suck up the plaster dust as they were drilling, so that none of it even reached the floor. No mess whatsoever. I really appreciated this. Helen and her assistant were also the sweetest and most considerate people. I recommend Helen’s Drapery whole-heartedly!!!

We are extremely pleased with all of the window coverings Helen produced for us. Her work was impeccable and suited all of our rooms beautifully. She had great suggestions for all of our needs and we continue to appreciate how the blinds and drapes enhance the decor and function of each space. Helen was very responsive to our timeline and communicated effectively throughout the process. Our older home presents some nonstandard challenges but Helen and her husband installed everything with precision and finesse. We highly recommend Helen’s Drapery for both large and small projects.

We were extremely pleased with Helen’s work—our bedroom went from shabby to spectacular with the drapes and blinds she provided. She gave us lots of guidance and options, and came up with interesting ideas for our particular constraints. Helen kept our price point in mind, and kept to her schedule, too. She and her husband were a pleasure to work with!

After contacting 3 different drapery companies in the Toronto area, I decided to go with Helen as she was the most thorough and detailed during her first visit to create a quotation. She was very honest too – in the case of advising me NOT to use drapes for one of my beautiful landing windows. She gave me great fabric choices and helped me to pick the fabrics, colours and rods. She just put them all up yesterday (drapes for 5 rooms!) and they are stunning. She and her partner were very professional and thorough. I would highly recommend Helen. It was a 100% positive experience. I love my drapes! Can’t stop admiring them :)!

Simple incredible work! Helen’s precision, quality and finish is top notch. No detail is left unattended. Her beautiful drapes have significant fabric folded in, good linings and a heavy weight to them. They finish off perfectly on our floor and look gorgeous. After ordering our main floor and master bedroom drapes, we decided they were worth spending on for the remaining rooms too. Pricing is very fair.

I’ve been living with the drapery that Helen created for the past year and I smile every time I look at them.
Helen took the time to go through her sample books with me and helped me select the perfect fabrics/colours for each bedroom.
When I need drapes in the future, Helen will be my first and only call.
On time, delivery and installation included, and the value was outstanding.

We recently engaged Helen to create and install drapery and blinds in our living room. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results – and process! Her work is truly beautiful and she is exceptionally skilled. Helen consulted with me very effectively on the selection of the fabric and fixtures, and has an excellent sense of design. She also understood our taste and was able to suggest options that were exactly to our liking. The installation was extremely smooth – with everything sized to perfection. I would 100% recommend Helen for your drapery design projects and would certainly hire her again in the future.
