Best of both worlds: Good Looks and Low Maintenance!
Custom shutters combine the best of both worlds: attractive good looks and low maintenance. Traditional quality wood provides a natural solution with stable durability. For maximum performance consider new faux wood stylings of composite construction to enjoy the elegant appearance of shutters in any interior space – without worrying about warping, fading, chipping, or excessive wear.
The look of your environment can take on an open and airy feeling with shutters when in the open position, while allowing an extreme amount of privacy and protection from the sun’s harmful rays when closed. A simple tilt of the shutter can regulate the amount of light you want in your home, allowing you full control.
Shutters range from 1″ louvers to 4″ louvers. For your best choice, consult us – your window design professionals! We’ll help you select from painted, stained, wood, or “faux” wood for your special application. For a job done correctly, our installation professional will determine the actual configuration and suggest the various options to maximize your privacy and sun control requirements.
For that simple, sleek look, shutters can offer years of low maintenance beauty to your home. We will help your select the shutter styling perfect for your room – and your budget!

HINSDALE — Although styles come and go, the designers at Drapery Connection will not tell their customers what their home décor should be.
“It’s not what we want, it’s what works in the room,” said Carl Movrich, one of the owners of Drapery Connection, which has showrooms in Hinsdale and Highland Park.
The business, which Movrich’s father started in 1939 as a painting and wallpaper store in Chicago, is moving its Hinsdale showroom to 22 E. First St.
The business specializes in window treatments, selling and installing draperies, shades, blinds and shutters, but also has other home decorating products and services as well. Although the showrooms have fabric books and samples of shades and rods, a home visit is a must for the designer.
A couple of weeks ago the annual Visions13: International Window Covering Expo was held in New Orleans and although some of DC was in attendance, we reminisce fondly of Visions12 which was held in out very own Chicago IL!
The CHF Alumni showcase was one of my favorites last year. Such grand, timeless, draperies that make one remember the original purpose of the drapery-to keep the lofty castles warm through the winter months.
Photos from last years Visions12 from @WF VISION / IWCE pinterest’s account.
Susette Kubiak and Mimi Harling of DC take part in panel discussions
The Visions13: IWCE is sponsored by Window Fashions Visions Magazine, the only print magazine dedicated to the window covering market. If you are an industry insider or just passionate about textiles and window coverings then I would check out THIS magazine.

There is certainly a reason why Hunter Douglas is regarded as the Premier product of the window shadings industry- they are continually trying to improve and advance their product to make it the best and most innovative it can be. Every year Hunter Douglas treats their dealers to an exclusive preview of the improvements, changes, or expansions made to current collections while introducing brand new shading systems such as the Solera- a relaxed, cascade of honeycomb-like pleats that beautifully filter light.
DC always enjoys seeing what their vendors come up with- the window covering industry is always changing.
The new Solera shade offers various collections with relaxed fabric pleats that appear to be either linen, raw silk, or faux leather creating a high-end and upscale custom roman shade look, but priced within reach of most consumers.
Architella Elan is by far the most popular honeycomb we sell. Luckily Hunter Douglas noticed and increased the color choices in this collection to 48!
Introducing the new and AFFORDABLE motorized shade Platinum App. – can currently be integrated to work with any Apple device – set mood limits, timers, and security settings and control ANY Hunter Douglas shade product electronically.
All that is required is this small “Bridge-Kit” and you can automatically open and close any shade in the room .

The workroom recently completed a project for a lovely couple who were looking to update a few rooms in their beautiful historic home in Fort Sheridan. Below are the gorgeous results with some before & after shots for comparison. ENJOY!

After DC
During the design process- We loved the tone on tone damask currently on the Baker sofa, it’s a classic and with all the other traditional elements in the room, such as the owners beautiful collection of antiques we didn’t want to change the style immensely, so we decided to go with an updated version of the damask with a Candice Olson for Kravet pattern.
The grey pillows are upholstered in a faux mohair from Maxwell fabric and the little red gem we used real mohair from Stroheim Fabrics Wouldn’t a throw in that same fabric look divine!?
The client’s collection of antiques and leggy furniture complement the Candice Olson damask perfectly.
For the face fabric of chairs we used a Candice Olson for Kravet stripe and the faux mohair from Maxwell for the back and side fabric.
I absolutely adore the mix of textures of the mohair fabric and the chair’s structure! Doesn’t the lighter silver color subtly compliment the grey and blue in their oriental rug?
A view of both the beautiful chairs
We updated the wet bar area with 2 flat roman shades with Thibaut’s Luxembourg fabric.
