Do Sunlight to Silence: How Custom Window Treatments Transform Your Living Room
Your living room is more than a place to sit.
It’s where life happens — where you welcome guests, spend time with family, and wind down after a long day. But even the most thoughtfully designed space can fall flat without one essential element: the right window treatment.When it comes to balancing light, comfort, and beauty, nothing compares to custom solutions. Whether you want to control the Florida sun, block out the street noise, or simply complete the look of your space, custom window treatments do more than cover your windows — they transform the way your living room feels and functions.
Natural light brings energy, beauty, and warmth — but too much of it can be a problem. Harsh sunlight can overheat the room, fade your furniture, and cause screen glare when you’re just trying to relax.
With custom window treatments, you take control. From motorized shades to layered curtains, you can filter light throughout the day, set the mood, and protect your interiors — all while adding a touch of elegance.
Custom window treatments are not just about fabric.
We measure, design, hand-finish and install tailored drapery panels, blackout layers and motorized tracks — in your home.

Custom window treatments aren’t just decor.
They’re a smart upgrade — from sunlight to silence.
Your living room should be a place to unwind — not echo.
Large windows, hard floors, and open layouts often create sound reflections and privacy issues.
Thicker custom drapes act as sound buffers, helping to absorb ambient noise and create a quieter, cozier space.
And when you live in a bustling neighborhood or urban setting, they add a vital layer of privacy — keeping your space feeling safe and serene.

There’s a noticeable difference between “good enough” and “just right.”
Unlike off-the-shelf options, custom window treatments are crafted to your space. That means no awkward lengths, no gaps, and no mismatched rods or hardware. The result? A clean, elevated finish that enhances the architecture of your home and feels completely intentional.
Custom means freedom.
You get to choose the fabrics, textures, colors, and layers that match your lifestyle and interior palette — not settle for what’s available in-store. Want soft linen for daytime and blackout velvet for evening? Done.
And if your windows are tall, curved, or uniquely shaped, custom is the only way to get the fit — and functionality — you need.
Form meets function — and saves on energy.
In Florida’s warm climate, window treatments aren’t just decorative; they help manage temperature and reduce energy costs. Well-chosen fabrics act as insulation, blocking excess heat and harmful UV rays while keeping your space cooler and more comfortable.
Over time, custom treatments pay for themselves in both style and savings.
At My Walls – Home Design, we create custom window treatments that are tailored to your life — and your lifestyle.
From the fabric to the final fold, every detail is curated to complement your home’s architecture and bring your vision of comfort and elegance to life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Drapes
FAQ – Custom Window Treatments for Living Rooms in Orlando
What are custom window treatments?
Custom window treatments are made-to-measure solutions — like drapery panels, layered shades, blackout liners and motorized tracks — designed specifically for your windows, your light, and your layout. Unlike store-bought options, they’re measured, finished and installed for you in-home. This is what we provide with our custom window treatments service.Why should I choose custom window treatments for my living room?
Your living room is where people actually sit, talk and judge your taste. Tailored drapery and motorized shades control glare, add privacy, improve acoustics, and make the room feel “finished.” Off-the-shelf panels almost never hit the floor cleanly, and you can see that immediately in high-ceiling homes in places like Windermere or Isleworth.Are custom window treatments worth the investment?
Yes. They last longer, function better and completely change how the room feels. You’re not just buying fabric — you’re getting professional measurement, lining, hardware, and installation so everything falls perfectly and opens smoothly. For clients in Winter Park and Lake Nona, this is usually the final layer that makes the space look intentional instead of temporary.How do custom curtains or shades help with light control?
We build layers. Sheer panels to soften daylight, blackout linings for media rooms, and motorized options so you can control glare on a big screen without getting up. See real examples of our custom curtains installed in Orlando living spaces.Can custom window treatments improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Absolutely. In Florida heat, lined drapery and properly fitted shades help block heat gain, protect furniture from sun fade and keep rooms cooler. That means less AC strain, especially on windows that face direct afternoon sun.What types of custom window treatments work best for living rooms?
For most living rooms, especially with tall or wide glass, we tend to recommend full-length custom drapery with proper lining, ripple fold or pinch pleat headers for a clean fall, plus motorized shades or blackout panels where needed. The right combination depends on privacy needs, ceiling height and how you use that room.How do custom window treatments enhance privacy in a living room?
They’re built to your specific exposure. If your living room faces the street or a neighbor’s pool, we can design layered treatments that block the view in without killing natural light from the top of the window. You keep the glow, not the audience.Are custom window treatments a good option for large or uniquely shaped windows?
Yes. Especially for oversized sliders, arched windows or full-height glass. Ready-made panels usually fail there: wrong length, wrong fullness, visible gaps. With custom drapery, we measure, fabricate, line and install so everything actually fits edge to edge.Do you handle the measurement and installation?
Yes. We schedule an in-home visit, bring fabric and hardware options, take exact measurements, design the finish and install everything — including motorized tracks if you want one-touch control. You don’t have to guess, patch or “make it work.”Can you also help with blackout and media rooms?
We do this constantly. Bedrooms, nurseries, theater rooms, game rooms — blackout and acoustic control are usually why clients call us first. You can see how we install blackout custom curtains for media rooms in Central Florida hereHow do I get started?
