The Sensational Story!
About us
Our Story
How it all started
At Sensational SEAMS, our journey began in 1986 when Wilma and Jamie Kulyk started the business out of their home, driven by Wilma’s passion for crafting beautiful window treatments. What began as a small, family venture, it has now grown into a thriving, award-winning company, serving clients across Southern Ontario. Wilma ’s vision was always clear: to transform spaces with window treatments that combine exceptional quality, style, and functionality, while reflecting the unique tastes and needs of each client. Jamie’s extensive knowledge on installations and as a master installer, with over 25 years of electrical experience, Sensational SEAMS brings value to our transformative automated solutions that elevates luxury and functionality within every home. And with the addition of Tamara, she brings a passion for creativity, she loves bringing new ideas and refreshing designs by expanding the existing offering of design options – both indoors and out. Tamara is enthusiastic about caring on the legacy of Sensational SEAMS and honouring Wilma’s vision of elevating every house into a home that reflects every customers’ personal style and making every customer feel like they are part of the family.
We’re a small, lively bunch who will treat you like an old friend making the creative design process personalised, stress-free and fun!
With our years of experience and passion for what we do, we want to make your decision of purchasing drapery, blinds or shades from us the best decision you have ever made.
Whether you’re looking for custom drapery, blinds, shades, and tailored outdoor solutions, we are here to take care of every finite detail, from concept to reveal, we are with you every step of the way.
