House of Shades DOES NOT provide repair and servicing for products that were not made or sold by us. We only repair and service window treatments for our existing customers who purchased their products directly from us. Thank you for your understanding .
At House of Shades, fabric is more than a finishing touch, it’s where style, comfort, and function come together.
Whether you are designing flowing drapery for a formal living room, sheer panels for a sunroom, or bedroom curtains that balance softness and privacy, we offer a curated selection of premium fabrics to suit every space and design vision.
We work with Scottsdale homeowners, interior designers, and builders to deliver window treatments that look stunning and perform beautifully, no matter the room, climate, or aesthetic.
Our wide range of fabric types includes everything from luxurious silk and velvet to durable outdoor materials and light-filtering sheers.
Our extensive selection of curtain and drapery fabrics give you the flexibility to create window treatments that are as functional as they are beautiful.
If you are planning a full custom look, don’t forget the hardware. We offer a complete selection of curtain and drapery rods to complement your fabric choices and ensure a seamless finish.
Our curtain fabrics are soft, elegant, and endlessly versatile. Choose from light cottons to richly woven materials, perfect for layering over shades or creating a standalone statement piece.
When choosing curtain fabric, consider the weight (heavier fabrics hang straighter, while lighter ones move more freely), lining (for privacy and light control), and how it will interact with other treatments like shades or blinds.
Best for: Living rooms, bedrooms, and large windows that need softness and movement.
Tip: For a layered look, choose a lightweight curtain fabric that pairs well with blackout shades or sheers underneath.
Drapery fabric adds structure, weight, and drama to your windows. These textiles are ideal for room-darkening panels, formal dining spaces, and classic interior styles.
If privacy, room darkening, or light control are priorities, look for thermal or blackout linings. Heavier fabrics like brocade, chenille, and damask add richness to traditional or formal interiors.
Best for: Privacy, light control, and a polished, custom-draped finish.
Tip: If your goal is sound absorption or insulation, a lined drapery fabric in a double-width panel can offer both beauty and function.
Luxurious and light-catching, silk creates an upscale feel for sophisticated interiors. Whether used on its own or paired with a blackout liner, silk drapes beautifully and elevates any room.
Silk can be sensitive to sun damage, especially in areas like Scottsdale. If you choose silk, opt for lined or interlined panels to protect the fabric and preserve its longevity. Faux silk or silk blends offer a similar look with improved durability.
Best for: Elegant living areas, master suites, and formal dining rooms.
Tip: Avoid direct sunlight unless the silk is properly lined, or layer it with solar shades or sheers for protection.
Velvet delivers bold texture and incredible light-blocking capability. Its rich look and soft hand make it a favorite for dramatic spaces or cozy retreats.
Velvet adds richness without sacrificing practicality. Look for stain-resistant or easy-clean finishes if you are using it in high-touch areas.
Best for: Bedrooms, media rooms, and homes with traditional or maximalist styles.
Tip: Velvet is ideal for floor-to-ceiling drapes that anchor a room and make ceilings feel taller.
Sheers allow soft natural light to filter into your home while maintaining daytime privacy. They come in a variety of textures and opacities, from thin voiles to slightly denser organzas or embroidered styles.
Best for: Kitchens, bathrooms, sunrooms, and open-concept living spaces.
Tip: Pair sheers with blackout panels or roman shades to balance softness with privacy and light control.
Natural, breathable, and effortlessly stylish, linen creates a relaxed but refined look. It’s especially suited to Scottsdale’s warm climate thanks to its light, breezy texture.
Pure linen can wrinkle easily, so many homeowners prefer linen blends that retain the look but drape more fluidly.
Best for: Casual interiors, contemporary homes, and boho or coastal styles.
Tip: Choose linen for a coastal, contemporary, or casual aesthetic. Keep in mind that unlined linen is better suited for filtered light rather than full privacy.
Durable and easy to maintain, cotton fabric is a timeless choice that blends beautifully with most interiors. Choose from solids, patterns, or textures to suit your space.
Available in lightweight to heavyweight options, cotton works beautifully for everything from kitchen café curtains to full-length blackout drapes when lined.
Best for: Versatile use in bedrooms, children’s rooms, and high-traffic areas.
Tip: Look for cotton sateen or twill if you want a polished finish, or stick to brushed or textured cottons for a softer, casual vibe.
Our outdoor fabric collection is made to withstand intense sun, moisture, and heat without sacrificing style. These UV- and fade-resistant textiles are engineered for durability and long-lasting color.
Best for: Patios, outdoor kitchens, sunrooms, and south-facing interiors.
Tip: Outdoor fabric is also a great choice for indoor-outdoor living spaces or even interior kitchens that get a lot of light and heat.

Many feature unique textures, artisan weaves, or embroidered details. With our trade partnerships, you’ll get access to fabric houses not available through retail channels.
Best for: Custom projects, luxury homes, and interiors that demand a one-of-a-kind statement.
Tip: Use designer fabrics in key areas, like living room drapes or a primary bedroom, to highlight focal points without overwhelming the space.

It depends on your style and function needs. Lightweight cottons and linens work well for casual spaces, while heavier fabrics like velvet and silk offer elegance and better light control for formal rooms.
Generally, no. Drapery fabric is designed for hanging and may not have the durability or abrasion resistance needed for upholstery. Always check fabric specifications or consult with a designer before using it for furniture.
Most curtains can be vacuumed with a soft brush attachment or spot cleaned with mild detergent. Some fabrics can be machine washable, while others require dry cleaning.
Drapes, especially lined or heavier fabrics, often require professional cleaning. Vacuum regularly to remove dust and consult a cleaning specialist for deep cleaning or stain removal.
A traverse rod uses a cord system or wand to open and close drapes smoothly. It’s ideal for wide windows or heavy drapery panels and allows for a tailored, uniform appearance when open or closed.
