Why Calico
You can get window treatments elsewhere, but there’s really no comparison. From our unparalleled selection of fabrics and trims to the unbeatable assistance and complimentary design advice you get from our designers, there are countless reasons to choose Calico.
1. We have an incredible selection.
With more than 6,000 designer-quality fabrics, 100 window treatment styles, and hundreds of trim options, we’ve never done the same job twice. And with our Fabric Approval Plan, you can take fabrics home, so you can make decisions with confidence.
2. Everything is custom made to fit perfectly.
Nothing comes out of a box. It’s tailor-made for you by custom workrooms in the USA – professionals who make window treatments to our exact specifications, from pleat size to hem allowance. And we stand behind our workmanship 100%.
3. Did we mention Hunter Douglas?
Calico has partnered with the leader in premium hard window coverings. Their blinds, shades and shutters are the best in terms of quality, functional choices like room darkening and energy saving, and options like remote controls and cordless operating systems.
4. Design services are free.
You don’t have to be a designer to get a designer look. Our experienced in-store and in-home design consultants are educated in product and design, and help to realize your vision. They’ll come to your home at no cost to you, and will show you options you may never have imagined.
5. We’re with you at every turn.
Not only will Calico designers guide you though every choice you make, our professional installers will measure, install and make sure the finished product looks just right.
6. We pay attention to details.
Drapery panels are matched across seams when possible. On top treatments and shades, fabric design elements are positioned beautifully by our talented workroom partners. The tops of mounting boards for shades and valances are covered in your decorative fabric, so they’ll look beautiful from any angle – even from above!
7. Our draperies are lush and full.
Our pleated and shirred styles are made with 2½ to 3 times fullness, instead of the 1½ to 2 times you get with ready-mades. Our pleats are deep, and we offer larger pleats for extra-long draperies.
8. We know the importance of hems.
We feature 4-inch double-turned and weighted hems, and double-turned side hems, which prevent the lining from curling to the face of the drapery. You may not be able to spot these details, but anyone can see the difference they make.
9. We know the importance of linings.
Linings insulate, provide privacy, and darken rooms to help you sleep better. We offer nine different linings to protect your fabrics and to add body to your draperies and shades.
10. We’re great at challenging windows.
Custom window treatments are the ideal solution for windows that pose challenges – and since 1948, we’ve seen every challenge imaginable.
