Introducing Sunbrella’s Custom Window Collection

We’ve Always Loved Sunbrella Outside. Now We’re Bringing It In.

If you’ve ever fallen in love with a fabric, truly fallen for it, and then watched it buckle under real life, you know the frustration.

The dog jumps up. The sun beats through the glass all afternoon. The kids exist. And that gorgeous linen you were so sure about starts looking a little worse for wear before the year is out.

It’s a problem I’ve been thinking about for a long time, and one I hear from clients constantly. They want something beautiful, but it has to hold up.

That’s exactly why I’m so excited to announce that Designer Draperies is now offering Sunbrella’s Custom Window Collection of interior treatments.

Why Sunbrella? And Why Now?

If you know Sunbrella at all, you know them for outdoor performance fabrics—the kind that live on covered porches, boat cushions, and patio furniture and still look great years later.

We’ve been specifying Sunbrella for exterior applications for decades, and the quality has never let us down. Fade resistance, durability, and easy care. It’s the standard everything else gets measured against.

So when Sunbrella introduced an interior collection with custom draperies, Roman shades, and solar shades designed specifically for inside the home, we paid attention. And once we got our hands on the fabric, we were sold.

What Makes This Different

Here’s what surprised me, and what I think will surprise you too: it doesn’t feel like a performance fabric.

When most people hear “performance fabric,” they picture something stiff, flat, and utilitarian. Something that works hard but doesn’t look the part. This is not that.

The Sunbrella interior collection has a soft hand, it drapes beautifully, hangs the way a good drapery panel should, and reads as elegant rather than practical. You wouldn’t know it was doing double duty unless someone told you.

And the performance credentials are real. These fabrics are UV resistant, which means you don’t need an additional lining just to protect your interiors from sun damage. They’re built to resist fading, easy to care for, and genuinely durable. The kind of durable that holds up in a house where life actually happens.

For families with young children, pets, or rooms that take a beating from direct sun, that combination is hard to find. Beautiful and functional, without compromising either.

What We’re Now Offering

Through Designer Draperies, the Sunbrella interior collection is available as:

• Custom drapery panels
• Roman shades
• Solar and roller shades
• Home Automation

Each treatment is fully customized (fabric, lining, header style, hardware) and fabricated and installed with the same attention to detail we bring to every project. If you’re considering motorization, the collection integrates beautifully with automated systems as well.

The Bottom Line

I’ve spent more than 30 years obsessing over fabric, paying attention to how it hangs, how it wears, and how it holds up over time. I care about the hand of a fabric the way a tailor cares about a suit. So when I tell you this collection is worth your attention, I mean it.

If you have a room with a lot of sun exposure, a busy household with kids, pets, and parties, or you’ve simply been waiting for a performance option that doesn’t look like one—this is it.

We’d love to show you the collection in person. Schedule your complimentary design session and we’ll bring the samples to you.
