Fabricut Drapery Hardware: Inspired and Sophisticated.
Expanding on its current collections of decorative drapery hardware, Fabricut recently introduced two new styles: Global Elements and Modern Surfaces.
“These collections enhance the areas of our success with on trend finial designs that are not readily available from our competitors,†said Millie Hammond, senior product stylist for Fabricut. “They make a statement of distinct style mixed with gleaming elegance.â€
The Global Elements collection invites us to a place where the views are breathtaking and the atmosphere provokes a sense of warmth. It mixes handcrafted metal with stunning distressed wood finishes that gives clients the flexibility to create their own dynamic combinations. This collection pairs perfectly with suzani, ikat and kilim fabrics that are prevalent in today’s home furnishings.
Combining luxurious textural surfaces with clean lines, Modern Surfaces creates the ultimate in modern décor. This style expands and enhances our popular Modern Fusion collection with two new metal finishes and innovative finial designs. Stingray or Shagreen inspired finials with soft-rounded edges offer a sophisticated look, conveying a contemporary feeling to any space.
Fabricut’s Decorative Drapery Hardware now offers more than 450 pieces in eight distinct collections: Classic Minimalism, Decorative Sash Rods, European Grandeur, Global Elements, Modern Fusion, Modern Surfaces, Stately Traditions and Wood Classics. All of which are available for your viewing here at Judy’s Custom Workroom!

Design Students @JCW
Judy’s Custom Workroom recently spent a day with emerging designers!
These UC Riverside Extension students are earning their Certificate in Interior Design. Professor Roberta Maxwell-Long of Maxwell-Long Designs teaches the program’s Perspective Drawing and Marker Rendering Course. She thought it may be helpful for her students to visit a drapery and furniture workroom.
 The students came in and enjoyed refreshments while we gave a short presentation on the services we offer and how designers work with us. We went over what the process is like from sketch to completion. Some topics we also covered were drapery, required yardage, installation and pricing of various window treatments and pieces of furniture. We followed up with Q&A and a tour of our showroom/library.
After the students explored our fabric and material library, they then got a tour of our workroom where custom design comes to life. We showed them some examples of our work and all the materials that go into reupholstering a sofa, creating a headboard, pillows, etc. It was beneficial for them to see the quality of our craftsmanship and understand the value of labor cost.
We really enjoyed hosting the class. Most had never been to a workroom before. We hope that they found it informative and had a good time.
Design students are always welcome to stop by and look around our library and workroom. Please know, we are here to help!
Before and After: Window Treatments
BEFORE:
Bare kitchen and adjacent family room windows in need of some sun control and framing.
AFTER:
We made a functioning roman shade for over the kitchen sink and added Hunter Douglas shutters in the family room and throughout the rest of the home.
We also made some 24 x 24 pillows in the same fabric as the roman to coordinate.
A few simple changes for a much more finished look!
In addition to drapery, roman shades, valances, cornices, and other custom window treatments, we also work with and install
Hunter Douglas, Skandia, Fashion Tech, and MDS products.
