How and where are Everhem's products made?

At Everhem, we take immense pride in offering hand-sewn, custom-made window treatments manufactured here in the US. Our raw materials like fabric and shade components such as cords, are part of our global supply chain; however, all manufacturing of our finished product (cutting, sewing, hardware forging & powder coating) are all made in US with trusted partners who are also small businesses. Every piece is meticulously handcrafted, ensuring the highest quality and a level of customization that mass-produced alternatives simply cannot match. We source high quality materials as well as invest in American manufacturing to offer a product of lasting value.

What if I need to change my shipping address?

Why are you called Everhem?

When husband and wife team Adam and Haley Weidenbaum came up with the idea for Everhem, they were on vacation, visiting Stockholm, Sweden. While there, they learned that "hem" is the Swedish word for home. They liked the double meaning of the Swedish hem and the English hem for hand-sewn products. They thought of the name Everhem to mean window treatments that will last forever in your home.

Drapery & Hardware

What kinds of drapery hardware do you sell?

All of our drapery is designed to work solely with rod and ring hardware. We offer three different styles of drapery hardware: Curved Return, Right Angle Return and Ball Finial. These styles are available in three different finishes: Matte Black, Satin Brass and Oil Rubbed Bronze.

What's the ideal length and width of a drapery panel?

Ideal is determined by your window and space! We have design guidelines through the customization process so you have our design advice every step of the way. Still have questions? Reach out to us or schedule a virtual consultation with one of our trained experts. We're happy to help!

What style drapery do you sell and which should I choose?

We offer our drapery in 3 different pleat styles: Box, Tailored and Pinch. Box pleat drapery is sewn in such a way that the actual pleats are on the back side of the drapery creating a structured, columnar look to the fabric in the front. This is the sleekest, most modern looking style we offer. Tailored pleat drapery is pinched at the very top, and each individual pleat gradually widen from top to bottom. This is somewhat of a transitional pleat style between contemporary and traditional. Pinch pleats are pinched about 3 inches down from the top of the drape, creating a sideways bow tie look at the top before gradually widening out. This is the most traditional looking drape we offer. For a casual, modern look, we recommend Box Pleat. For a versatile, transitional space, we recommend Tailored Pleat. For a space with traditional design in mind, we recommend Pinch Pleat.

Why do I need custom drapery as opposed to standard sized panels?

While everyone’s home, windows and design needs are different, standard sized drapery panels only come in two widths (50” and 100”) and four lengths (84”, 96”, 108” and 120”). For many windows these dimensions will result in drapery panels that look flat when drawn closed, aren’t long enough to kiss the floor or are too long and get dragged all over the floor when the drapes are opened and closed. In addition, the styles available for standard sized panels very often will not match the aesthetic of the customer. Everhem custom drapery is made for the specific width and length of your window, taking into account your mounting height, proper fullness requirements and the fact that various fabrics grow in length over time. Our company was founded by an interior designer who knows just how vital quality window coverings are to the overall design of a space, and our fabric choices have been carefully curated to ensure that everything we design using your custom measurements will look bespoke, beautiful and stand the test of time in your space.

How many rings will I need?

For Drapery & Hardware ordered together, we will provide the correct amount of rings required to properly install your drapery. If you need to calculate the rings required for another configuration, please contact us, we're happy to help!

What linings do you offer for your drapery?

We offer three different lining options: Unlined, Privacy and Blackout. Unlined will be the material itself and nothing added, this provides limited light diffusion but still gives some privacy. Privacy Lining is a white lining; it allows natural, diffused light to pass through and gives a room a warm glow. Blackout Lining is a white lining: it allows no light to pass through and creates virtual darkness any time of day. Consider layering blackout lined shades and drapery in spaces that need total darkness.

Please Note: Unlined Drapery will be at higher risk for sun damage over time. We recommend Privacy or Blackout for windows that receive harsh sunlight on a consistent basis.

Roman Shades & Woven Woods

What's the difference between Inside and Outside Mount shades?

Inside Mount shades get mounted or positioned inside the window frame or casement. In order to do this, there must be the required mounting depth inside the window for the shade to lay flush with the window's opening(depth required varies by Custom Control selection). Inside mount shades are great for a seamless, modern look. Since the shade sits inside the window, if total blackout is required, inside mount shades may not be the best way to go. Outside mount shades get mounted outside the window on the window frame itself, the drywall above the window or the door frame above the glass. Outside mount shades are recommended for rooms where blackout is of utmost importance. Outside mount shades are also recommended for windows without sufficient mounting depth and for all door mounted shades.

What's the difference between the Pleated and Flat Roman Shade styles?

Pleated Roman shades have structured pleats sewn into the fabric of the shade. Flat shades are square across the bottom but have no structured pleats so they are a little more casual in look.

We have tested our own fabrics and we understand how they react over time and we factor that in with our measurement guidelines. But we cannot know how COM will react over time and therefore we cannot guarantee or warranty it against expansion.
