Decorative Drapery Panels
Decorative Drapery Panels
Create Your Perfect Drapery Combination
Mix and match Maxwell Fabrics, decorative hardware finishes, coordinating sheers and KS track systems to build a polished, made-to-order window treatment — assembled step by step, and reviewed by our design team before anything is produced. Hardware, sheers and KS track systems are sold separately.
The Introduction
Decorative panels that frame a window beautifully
Decorative stationary drapery panels — often called dummy panels or side panels — sit at the edges of a window to soften hard architecture, add height and give a room the finished, tailored quality of custom drapery without the cost or complexity of a fully functional treatment.
Each panel is cut and sewn to order in your chosen Maxwell fabric, then paired with the decorative hardware finish, coordinating sheer and track system you select below. Hardware, sheers and KS track systems are sold separately from the panels. Everything is reviewed and confirmed by our team before production begins.
Please read: these are decorative stationary panels
These panels are intended primarily for decorative framing at the sides of a window. They are not designed to open and close across the full width of the window unless a suitable track or hardware system is selected. If you need a treatment that draws fully closed for privacy or light blocking, add a KS track system in Step 5 or speak with our team so we can specify the correct functional hardware for your opening.
How It Works
Six steps to a considered window
Work through the selections in order. Your combination builds in the summary panel as you go, and nothing is produced until we have reviewed and confirmed the details with you.
-
Select your Maxwell fabric
Choose one of five curated Maxwell Fabrics options for the decorative drapery panel itself.
-
Select your hardware finish
Hardware is sold separately. Pick the decorative finish — black, silver, champagne or maroon — to suit the room’s metals and mood.
-
Choose the number of panels
One panel, a pair, or a custom quantity for wider openings and multi-window rooms.
-
Add optional sheers
Sheers are sold separately. Layer a coordinating sheer panel behind the drapery for privacy, softness and daytime light control.
-
Add an optional KS track
KS track is sold separately. Specify a KS track system if you want a cleaner, more functional drapery installation.
-
Submit your combination
Add a standard combination to your cart, or send it to us as a quote request for confirmation.

Before You Order
Installation & measuring
A decorative panel earns its keep through proportion. A few measurements taken carefully at the start will make the finished treatment look intentional rather than approximate.
If you would prefer we take the measurements, or you are unsure which configuration suits your opening, book a consultation and we will guide you through it.
What to measure
- Mounting height. Measure from your intended rod or track position down to the floor, then compare it to the 84″ finished panel length to confirm the proportion you want.
- Window width and wall space. Note the full window width plus the wall available at each side, so panels stack neatly beside the glass rather than across it.
- Obstructions. Check for mouldings, trim, radiators, blinds, door swings, ceiling depth and anything else that affects bracket or track placement.
- Hardware length. Confirm the rod or track length required for your opening with our team before ordering.
Good to know
- Each panel finishes at 24″ wide, so a pair frames the window rather than covering it.
- Layering a sheer behind the drapery adds privacy and softens daylight without changing the decorative panel itself.
- If you need the treatment to close, a KS track system or alternative functional hardware should be specified.
- Installation is arranged separately. [Placeholder — installation availability and pricing to be confirmed.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions, answered
What is a dummy drapery panel?
A dummy panel — also called a decorative stationary panel or side panel — is a fabric panel that stays in place at the side of a window. It is there to frame the opening, add height and soften the architecture, rather than to be drawn open and closed each day.
Is the listed price for one panel or a pair?
Pricing is per individual panel and covers the drapery panel only — hardware, sheers and KS tracks are sold separately. You select the quantity you need in Step 3. [Placeholder — final pricing structure to be confirmed and added by Designers Resource Centre.]
What is the finished panel size?
Each decorative drapery panel has a standard finished size of 24 inches wide by 84 inches long.
Can I order more than two panels?
Yes. Choose the custom quantity option in Step 3 and enter the number of panels you need. Our team will confirm the quantity, fabric availability and pricing with you before production.
Can I add sheers?
Yes. Coordinating sheer panels can be layered behind your decorative drapery to add privacy, softness and light control. Select the sheer option in Step 4. Sheers are sold separately. Sheer fabric details and pricing will be confirmed by our team.
Can I order a KS track?
Yes. A KS track system can be added in Step 5. KS tracks give a clean, streamlined installation and may suit a more functional treatment. KS tracks are sold separately. Track specification, compatibility and pricing will be confirmed before production.
Are the drapery panels functional or decorative?
The panels offered on this page are decorative stationary panels. They are not designed to open and close across the full width of the window unless a suitable track or hardware system is selected. If you need a functional treatment, add a KS track or contact us so we can specify the right hardware.
Can I see fabric samples before ordering?
We recommend reviewing a sample before committing, particularly for colour. [Placeholder — sample request process, availability and any sample fee to be confirmed by Designers Resource Centre.]
Does installation come included?
Installation is arranged separately from the drapery panels. [Placeholder — installation availability, service area and pricing to be confirmed by Designers Resource Centre.]
What happens after I submit my order?
Your selections are sent to our team for review. We confirm fabric, hardware, sheer and track availability, verify measurements and quantities with you, and provide final pricing. Production only begins once you have approved the confirmed order. [Placeholder — production timeline to be confirmed.]
