Custom Drapery & Shades in Dakota County, MN

Dakota County stretches from the river bluffs of Hastings to the newer neighborhoods of Lakeville and Farmington, and the windows in between vary just as much. Each home calls for drapery and shades that suit its own light, layout, and view.

Many homes in Lakeville, Rosemount, Apple Valley, and Farmington were built with tall windows, two-story great rooms, and sliding doors to the backyard. Those spaces get a lot of light, and they’re also the hardest to cover well. Motorized shades and layered drapery make large openings easier to live with every day. In Eagan and Burnsville, homes near Lebanon Hills Regional Park and the Minnesota River bluffs often have wooded or water views, so we choose treatments that frame the outdoors instead of blocking it.

Older neighborhoods have their own needs. Historic homes in downtown Hastings and around Mendota, close to the Sibley House, tend to have original window shapes and trim that call for careful, custom fitting. In Mendota Heights, Sunfish Lake, and Inver Grove Heights, sheer shades and light-filtering fabrics let in daylight while keeping the space private.
