Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS LOOM DECOR?

Let us introduce ourselves! We are Loom Decor, an online design studio where you can order high-end, tailored details right from home. We incorporate the same specifications interior designers use, but at a far more cost-effective price point. We even share designer tips and tricks in our measuring guides to ensure you order with confidence.

Our drapery, pillows, bench cushions, cafe curtains, bedding and more are handcrafted right here in our Massachusetts workroom by artisans with over 20 years of experience. We take pride in cultivating a positive work culture, which is why our dedicated team sticks with us. Our goal is to help you bring custom pieces into your space that completely elevate your home. Designer quality, no designer required.

HOW DO I GET STARTED CREATING CUSTOM DECOR?

Browse our website and click any item to start designing your way. Customize the size, lining, insert, details and more to create the perfect look and fit. Plus, if you are not sure what you want or how to begin, you can contact our customer service team. 

CAN I SHOP IN PERSON?

We do not have a retail location at this time. However, you can order swatches to make sure you love the color and pattern of a fabric in your home - which we think is even better. 

You can also schedule a free Design Consultation with us where we can go over the design, fabrics, and measuring process for your space! Feel free to schedule a time here.

ARE YOU A REAL COMPANY?

Haha, YES! While we have an online presence, we are based out of Massachusetts and are very much a real company, creating real products, made by real people, right here in America.

HOW DO CUSTOM WINDOW TREATMENTS AND FURNISHINGS DIFFER FROM WHAT I’D FIND IN STORES?

Our quality matches that of professional interior designers and luxury home brands, but at more affordable prices. How do we do it? First, we choose quality fabrics from top interior designer brands. No flimsy fabrics that will fall apart after a few years. Our goal is for your custom pieces to last for years to come.

Second, our products are handcrafted at our workroom in Massachusetts with the same details designers specify in their work. For example, our window treatments are made with high quality lining, hidden hems, weights in the corners, and buckram stiffener at the top to help them hang beautifully. Our pillows and duvet covers are designed to be plush and full, and to hide unsightly zippers.

Finally, you can choose special options on your window treatments like lining, Cordless Mechanism (at no extra charge) and order completely custom sizes, so that you are sure to get the perfect fit for your window.

HOW DO I CALCULATE THE WIDTH OF MY DRAPERY OR CAFE CURTAIN PANELS?

For the width of your drapery panels, we recommend entering the full size of your drapery rod. That's it! We will account for fullness on our end so there is no need to add extra width to ensure that your drapery looks full enough. 

HOW DO I CALCULATE HOW MANY RINGS I NEED?

If you're ordering your hardware from us, there's no need to calculate the number of rings needed - we'll automatically provide the right amount of rings based on the rod size you select!

CAN I ADD LINING TO MY WINDOW TREATMENTS?

Yes! You have the option to choose a lining for any shade or drapery you order. You can go with "Unlined", add "Privacy" lining for sun protection and enhanced privacy, or opt for "Blackout" lining for maximum room darkening. The choice is yours!

CORDLESS SHADES

Our Cordless shades are compatible with windows that are 18" - 98" in width. Anything over 98" in width will have to use a Chain Loop mechanism due to the weight of the shade. 

A Cordless shade is operated with a spring mechanism. You operate the shade by using the control ring to guide the shade up and down - a simple quick tug will get the spring mechanism released so you can open or lower the shade.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLY & DOWN INSERTS FOR PILLOWS?

The Poly insert is slightly firmer and helps the pillow maintain its shape, while the Down insert offers a softer feel and may need more frequent fluffing to keep its shape over time.

CAN YOU MAKE CUSTOM SIZES THAT I DON'T SEE ONLINE?

Yes! We can make custom size Drapery, Roman Shades, Bedskirts, Cushions, and more. To order a custom size not available online, contact a Stylist.

CAN YOU MAKE CUSTOM BENCH CUSHION SIZES THAT I DON'T SEE ONLINE (L-SHAPED, TRAPEZOID OR CUSTOM CUT OUTS)?

Unfortunately we are not able to do a custom trapezoid bench cushions, "L-Shaped", or custom cut outs. We can only accommodate rectangular shaped bench cushions at this time. 

CAN YOU MAKE CUSTOM FURNISHINGS NOT SHOWN IN YOUR ONLINE CATALOG?

Absolutely! For instance, we can craft our Cafe Curtains in other pleat styles and fabrics, and nearly any Loom product can be made in almost any fabric from our collection. Feel free to reach out to us at hello@loomdecor.com with a photo of what you had in mind. 

DO YOU MAKE CUSTOM FURNISHINGS WITH CUSTOMERS OWN MATERIAL (COM)?

We are happy to accept COM orders for our Trade Program members with a $500 order minimum! Contact a stylist for pricing and more information about placing a COM order.

CAN I ORDER FABRIC SWATCHES FOR QUALITY AND COLOR REFERENCE? 

Of course! We recommend ordering fabric swatches as a first step in making a Loom Decor design. Sometimes, the appearance of the fabric in real life under different lighting can vary from what you see online.

THE FABRIC SWATCH I RECEIVED LOOKS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE DIGITAL RENDERING, WHICH ONE SHOULD I RELY ON?

Always rely on the fabric swatch in your hand! Computer renderings can vary based on your screen, monitor, and lighting settings. The physical swatch reflects the true color and texture you’ll see on your finished Loom Decor pieces. Keep in mind that your home’s lighting can also affect how the fabric appears, colors may look slightly different in natural light versus LED or other indoor lighting.

CAN I ORDER FABRIC BY THE YARD?

Yes! On any fabric page, select the number of yards you would like in the quantity field and click the “Add Yardage to Cart” button. When calculating the yardage you need, keep in mind our fabrics vary in width, although most are 54” wide. Please note, the maximum continuous yardage varies per fabric between 30 and 60 yards. 

HOW DO I CLEAN AND CARE FOR MY LOOM FURNISHINGS?

For window treatments, we recommend a periodic cleaning with a low-suction, hand-held vacuum, or dusting with a clean cloth or duster. For a deeper clean, we suggest steaming the window treatments on a low setting to dislodge any dust or dirt. In the case of a stain or smudge, we recommend using a slightly damp microfiber cloth or clean towel, and spot cleaning with a mild detergent. Please note, we do not recommend ironing, washing or dry cleaning your window treatments as it can warp the lining, and compromise the structure of the window treatments.

For all other pieces (such as bedding, bench cushions, or pillows), we highly recommend dry-cleaning to ensure they look beautiful for many years to come. Washing can cause fabrics to fade or bleed. Plus, different types of fabric shrink at different rates and could cause your item to look damaged or warped. Please consult with your dry cleaner regarding your Loom fabric before proceeding with dry cleaning services.
