Merriam's diverse housing stock—from established neighborhoods like Antioch Acres to newer developments near Merriam Park—features everything from traditional colonials to contemporary homes that demand equally sophisticated window treatments. Many Merriam residences benefit from custom drapery's superior light control and thermal properties, especially in formal dining rooms and master bedrooms. The central Johnson County location experiences significant seasonal temperature swings, making layered drapery with thermal lining a smart choice for energy efficiency. Our 20+ years serving the Kansas City area means we understand Merriam's aesthetic preferences: homeowners here value quality, timeless elegance, and professional craftsmanship. Custom drapery elevates formal spaces, frames large windows beautifully, and provides the polished look that defines premium Merriam interiors.
