Since 2007, Berkeley Decor has planned, fabricated, and installed whole window solutions for homes across Frisco, Plano, Allen, McKinney, and greater DFW. This page is the hub: how hard treatments and soft layers work together—from measure to workroom to install—so each room gets light, privacy, and a finished proportion, not a single product hung in isolation.
Hard treatments—shutters, blinds, and shades—often form the functional layer; soft goods finish the architecture. Homeowners and designers work with us directly at 8861 Camfield Wy, Frisco. We are an independent custom workroom, not an install only franchise. When a Hunter Douglas product fits the opening, see our Hunter Douglas page.
Layered whole window strategy
Most Frisco and North Dallas rooms need more than one answer. Tall glass wants light control without looking bare; a living room may need privacy at night and softness by day; a primary suite often pairs blackout or motorized shades with drapery for a calm finish. We start with how you use the room, then decide which combination of hard and soft treatments earns its place.
- Hard treatments — blinds, shades, shutters, and Hunter Douglas options for glare, privacy, and clean lines. See Blinds · Shades · Shutters.
- Soft layers — drapery panels, sheers, valances, and cornice boards built in our workroom.
- Hardware & proportion — rods, tracks, mounting height, and how layers stack so open plans and two story glass feel intentional.
Custom Drapery
We design and sew custom drapery in the Frisco workroom. Soft work covers tall glass, two story entries, dining rooms, and layered living spaces where proportion, lining, and finish have to match the room.
- Floor to ceiling and puddled panels
- Sheers and underlayers for light control without losing the view
- Valances and detailed headings
- Coordinated soft goods that match the rest of the room
We help you choose fabrics and trims that suit Texas light, your furniture, and how private each room needs to feel. Browse Fabrics & Trims when you are building a cohesive palette.
Cornice boards
Cornices give a window a clean top line, a place for trim or molding, or a polished frame over shades and panels. Dining room curtains with a cornice that carries crown molding or metal embellishment are built here, not pulled from a catalog.
- Boxed & upholstered cornices — padded, fabric wrapped boards shaped to the opening and finished with welt, fringe, or decorative trim
- Crown molding cornices — architectural top treatments that marry millwork with fabric for formal rooms
- Fabric wrapped boards — tailored faces that hide hardware and unify a layered treatment
- Hardware & trim — mounting, returns, and trims specified so the cornice sits correctly over rods, tracks, or shades
From measure to install
- Consultation — in home or studio, by appointment
- Plan the layers — hard vs soft, opacity, and when to mix drapery with shades, shutters, blinds, or Hunter Douglas
- Workroom & product — soft goods built here; hard treatments specified and ordered to fit
- Professional install — precise hanging and finishing so the room looks complete
Why a workroom
That workroom difference shows on two story windows, formal dining rooms, and open concept spaces where cheap panels look unfinished. Designers and trade clients are welcome; homeowners can work with us directly.
