Our Reviews

Premium fabrics and custom drapes backed by decades of trusted service.

Love it so much
Great service and great prices. We had shades installed in our living room and beautiful drapes in the bedroom. My wife was thrilled with how everything turned out. Incredibly friendly people and they worked with us throughout the process to provide us with so many options. Everything was made just for us and we had some really difficult window sizes for them to work with. Don’t even think about using one of the big box stores-you’ll save money and be much happier if you choose Beautiful Windows Elgin.

Custom Curtains That Changed My Space
I was blown away by the transformation after installing my custom-made curtains from Beautiful Windows Elgin. Their team helped me choose the perfect fabric and pattern for my oddly sized windows and they nailed it. The online process was smooth, and everything shipped fast to my home in North Carolina. Beautiful Windows Elgin has officially become my go-to fabric and drapery store.

Exceptional Fabric, Even Better People
Beautiful Windows exceeded my expectations in every way. I ordered both curtain fabric by the yard and a pair of made-to-measure panels for our sitting room. Not only was the craftsmanship flawless, but the service was warm and genuine. They really do give that ‘Southern hospitality’ feel while providing premium-quality drapery. If you're looking for an online fabric store that actually cares... this is it.

Five Stars aren’t Enough
From the first consultation to the final install, Beautiful Windows Elgin treated our project with true professionalism. We ordered blackout curtains for our baby’s nursery and custom sheers for the dining area. The quality of the fabric is top-notch and the attention to detail is what really sets them apart. You can tell they love what they do. If you’re shopping for window treatments online, don’t go anywhere else.

Fabulous drapes
An absolutely amazing experience to have someone take your vision & expand it exponentially. That’s what Beautiful Windows Elgin did for me & my formal living & dining rooms. From selecting the fabric to installing my fabulous drapes was comparable to Royal Treatment that I find to be their standard

Absolutely Stunning Work
I honestly didn’t expect my living room to look like something out of a magazine, but that’s exactly what Beautiful Windows Elgin delivered. The custom drapes we chose were elegant, perfectly measured, and installed with such care. Their team helped me choose a fabric that matched my existing furniture and even offered great advice on lining options. If you’re in South Carolina and want gorgeous curtains done right... This is the place.

Before purchasing curtains

For your bedroom curtain, blackout drapes are best as they afford the most privacy. They also block out light at night to give you deeper, better sleep. You’d want the opposite for the living room – lighter curtains that will allow some natural light in. As for the kitchen, they are usually more decorative than functional. So tier curtains, which cover just a portion of the windows, would do fine. Still, working from home? Blinds are a good choice for the home office. As they let you easily adjust the amount of light to let in or filter out.

Modern and minimalistic, grand and opulent, natural and organic. The vibe that you want the rooms to give off is a guide to choosing the right fabrics. Cotton is the most popular material. For the modern home and works just as well if you want an organic aesthetic. Linen comes a close second and as it’s heavier in weight, it offers more coverage for better privacy. For a luxurious, expensive look, you won’t go wrong with velvet, silk, and brocade.

That depends on the style or theme you have decided on for the room. Curtains are a part of the décor too so they should complement the other details. Remember also that visually, curtains take up a fair amount of space. If you’re going for solid-coloured drapes, picture first how a big swathe of your chosen shade will look in that room. If going for prints, tread carefully to make sure you don’t end up with an eyesore.

The long and short of it matters, and we’re talking about the windows here. Your curtains should of course be tailored to the windows they are meant to cover. So first, you need to measure their length and width. Lengthwise, you can let them hang a few inches below the bottom sill or what is known as apron curtains. This is the most common style and is practical if you want to leave room underneath for furniture or décor pieces. If you can spare the space, floor-length curtains will evoke a more elegant look and create the illusion of more height to the room. Puddle curtains, whereby the fabric not only fall to the floor but gathers at the end, is another option if you want a more dramatic effect. In terms of width, they should be 2-2.5 times that of the window so that there is enough fabric for the curtains to gather at the side when drawn.

Curtains are more than just fabric and the rods that hold them in place. There are accessories that you can use to embellish them for a more complete look that will add to the room’s appeal. Among them are brackets (where the rods rest on), curtain rings or clips (to hang the fabric from and hook to the rod), finials (decorative knobs that cap the ends of rods), and tiebacks and holdbacks (to hold the curtains back when drawn). Here’s an additional tip: Decide on the rest of the décor first and pick your curtains last as they’re easier to switch up if need be. That way, you’ll be sure to end up with curtains that are not only the perfect match for the room but can even enhance the aesthetics.

Not every supplier offers professional measuring services, so it’s always wise to ask whether your custom curtains provider can measure your windows for you. If measuring isn’t included, be sure to request clear guidance on how to take accurate drapery measurements at home. This is especially important if your windows have unique or non‑standard dimensions. Precise measurements ensure your custom curtains fit beautifully, function properly, and elevate your space with the polished look you expect from quality window treatments.

The right fabric not only enhances your décor but also ensures your window coverings function beautifully in your space.
