Luisa’s Draperies: Quality craftsmanship, sophisticated style a labour of love at Luisa’s Draperies

Just as Luisa’s Draperies & Interiors Ltd. is a multi-generational family-run business, some of their clients are also descendants of past customers.

It’s an impressive succession of success, one that can only come with over 55 years of quality craftmanship, unique designs and unmatched selection and customer service.

“We love it … It’s a real pleasure,” says Paula, Luisa’s daughter and a trained interior decorator who has a flair for making dream homes a reality.

“It’s a pleasure meeting people and completing work that they are really, really happy with.”

Luisa arrived in Canada in 1960 and opened the business shortly thereafter with the support and encouragement of her late husband Ernesto.

Now, alongside her children, Paula and Marco, as well as her grandson Sebastian, the family business thrives with three generations of purpose, quality and pride.  

As the name suggests, Luisa’s Draperies & Interiors Ltd. specializes in window treatments, but the business offers upholstery services and complete interior decorating consultations for projects large or small, whether it’s residential, commercial, industrial or even institutional.

For clients the search begins at Luisa’s showroom in Guelph. 

Luisa’s imports European fabrics, after personally sourcing those brands themselves and cultivating relationships with various international suppliers, ensuring timeless style and enduring functionality.

Of course, the business also offers the most popular contemporary designs from North America as well – it’s all about providing choice for customers.

Big box stores with ready-made fixtures can’t offer the personal touches, and craftsmanship that Luisa’s can.  In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more unique selection of fabrics anywhere in Wellington County. 

Not located in Guelph or Wellington? No problem. Luisa’s serves customers in Waterloo, London, in cottage country and beyond.

Paula understands customers’ needs and clients have her undivided attention at appointments. And while Luisa’s staff will provide expert advice and suggestions, they’re not happy unless you are. It is, after all, your space and your life.

Next, Luisa’s team of experienced professionals will install your custom drapery, blinds or interior shutters. Luisa’s grandson Sebastian is the install expert for the extremely popular remote blinds. 

But the company’s services don’t simply end as soon as the installer leaves your home or business.

“If anything goes wrong, we’re right there to fix it,” said Luisa. 

She noted that unlike some other companies, they don’t rely on quick-fixes or discounts to address customer concerns – “We fix it so it’s exactly the way it’s supposed to be.”

Quality never goes out of style – neither does Luisa’s Draperies & Interiors Ltd. Their showroom features the latest in contemporary blinds, and interior shutters for a sleek sophisticated look, especially when paired with custom valances and drapery.  

Browse a selection of top-of-the-line brand names including Hunter Douglas, Altex, and Maxxmar. 

With the growing trend of Smart Home features, Luisa’s is proud to be a certified Hunter Douglas motorization specialist. Offering a range of styles providing privacy, natural light and climate control features, these modern blinds allow you to alter your view with ease. 

Using a remote device like Google Home, Amazon’s Alexa, or a smart phone app, you can adjust the blinds or draperies with just your voice. Check out products such as Silhouette, Luminette, Duettes, and Roller Blinds – all automated into your future home design. 

And while automated blinds may be attractive to some, Luisa and Paula note that drapery, and the “warmth” often associated with it, is making a big comeback.  Drapery too can be automated.

Looking to spruce up an exterior space? Luisa’s Draperies & Interiors Ltd.  can handle that as well.  The business offers outdoor screens and zip shades. Talk to their knowledgeable staff about motorized, wire-guided screens automated with Smart Home technology for comfort and convenience. 

Your living space may just need a pick-me-up. Recovering furniture with new textiles, such as dining chairs, sofas, and ottomans can help coordinate the theme of a space. Adding accent features to seating nooks can turn the simple to sublime. Refurbish cherished furniture without losing their style. 

The beautiful thing about a specialty store is their ability to do the things that make shopping a personal experience, whether for you, your family, or friends. 

Bedding should be a luxurious and comforting element to your bedroom, so imagine the luxury of custom linens, made to fit your bed and your tastes exactly as they should. 

It’s the perfect gift for new homeowners, newlyweds, and newborns alike. Custom crib sheets will make your nursery as special as it deserves to be. Give a gift that is truly one-of-a-kind.

Luisa’s Draperies & Interiors Ltd. understands that a quality home deserves quality service. For over five decades they have created a legacy of traditional craftsmanship, exceptional customer service, and a genuine pride in the quality of work they provide. 

Whether it’s a room make-over or designing a brand-new space, she understands your home is an extension of your personal style. With a collaborative work ethic and ability to coordinate projects, Luisa’s will make you feel at home, within your budget.

Generations of families throughout Wellington County trust Luisa’s to make their homes and hideouts beautiful.
