Top 10 Curtain Stores in Toronto
Where to buy curtains and drapes in Toronto, from ready-made stores to custom drapery. Here’s what each type of store is good for, how ready-made and custom compare, and what to ask before you buy.
The 10 places Toronto homeowners buy curtains
1. Crazy Joe’s Drapery & Blinds
Custom drapes & blinds · Mississauga showroom, in-home across the GTA
Family-run since 1970. Every drape and blind is made to measure. A consultant brings the fabric books to your home, measures every window and quotes on the spot, and Joe will beat a written quote for the same product. Free installation on orders over $988 for a limited time, plus in-store specials at the showroom on Dundas Street East.
2. IKEA
Ready-made panels
Good for tight budgets, rentals and standard-size windows. Panels come in set lengths, so you hem them and hang them yourself.
3. HomeSense
Ready-made, discount
A changing selection of ready-made panels at lower prices. Stock varies by store and week, so matching sets across rooms can be hard.
4. Bouclair
Home décor chain
Ready-made curtains, sheers and hardware alongside other décor. Easy for a quick refresh in standard sizes.
5. West Elm
Design-led ready-made
Modern styles and quality fabrics in standard sizes. A good fit if your windows match their lengths.
6. Fabricland
Fabric by the metre
Choose your own fabric and lining, then sew it yourself or hire a seamstress. Best for DIYers.
7. Tonic Living
Toronto décor fabrics
A Toronto-based décor fabric company, popular for colourful prints. You’ll still need someone to sew and install.
8. Blinds To Go
Blinds chain
Focused mainly on blinds and shades rather than custom drapery.
9. Independent drapery workrooms
Custom sewing
Small workrooms that sew to your measurements. Quality varies, and many don’t measure or install, so ask first.
10. Interior designers
Full design service
A designer will source and manage drapery as part of a larger project, usually with a design fee on top.

What to ask any curtain store
- Do you measure the windows yourselves, or do I?
- Is installation included, and who installs?
- Can I see the fabric samples in my own home and light?
- What lining options do you have for bedrooms?
- How long does it take, and what happens if something doesn’t fit?

Curtain stores FAQ
Where is the best place to buy curtains in Toronto?
It depends on your windows. For standard sizes and tight budgets, ready-made stores like IKEA or HomeSense work. For tall, wide or condo windows, blackout bedrooms or a finished look, a custom drapery company that measures and installs, like Crazy Joe’s, gives a better fit.
Are custom curtains worth it?
For most living rooms, bedrooms and condos, yes. They fit your exact window, hang properly, block light where you need it and last for years.
Does Crazy Joe’s come to my home?
Yes. A consultant brings samples to your home anywhere in Toronto and the GTA, measures and quotes on the spot. The consultation is free.
Will Crazy Joe’s beat another store’s price?
Yes. Bring a written quote for the same product and Joe will beat it.
Do you install?
Yes. We supply and install the tracks, rods and drapes. Installation is free on orders over $988 for a limited time.
