River Market homeowners appreciate custom drapery for their ability to soften industrial elements while honoring architectural authenticity. The neighborhood's mix of 12-foot lofts and restored historic buildings creates unique window challenges—oversized windows need substantial fabric weight and coverage, while tall ceilings demand floor-to-ceiling treatments that add visual drama. Custom drapery also addresses the riverfront's light exposure: many River Market residents layer sheer and blackout panels for flexible light control without compromising the neighborhood's trendy aesthetic. From the City Market corridor to the Arabia Steamboat Museum area, custom drapery adds the designer-curated look that River Market residents expect, transforming industrial raw space into refined urban living.
