The details that make drapery read custom

Ripplefold sheers

Even, continuous waves that hold their shape open or closed. Sheers soften light and frame the view without blocking it.

Recessed tracks

Tracks set into a ceiling pocket so fabric appears to fall from the architecture itself. We coordinate pocket dimensions with your GC or install surface mounted where recessing is not possible.

Lined and interlined drapery

Light control, insulation, and body. Blackout lining turns a drapery panel into a true sleep system when paired with a shade.

Carole Fabrics library

Thousands of textiles from a single trusted workroom partner. We narrow the library to a short list that fits your room, then bring samples to you.

Layered with shades

Sheer drapery over a blackout roller is the most requested combination we install, softness by day, darkness by night.

Motorized tracks

Drapery tracks motorize just like shades and join the same scenes and schedules.

Questions we hear

Can drapery be layered with shades?

Yes, and it is our most requested combination. A sheer drapery layer softens daylight while a concealed roller provides privacy or blackout.

Do tracks have to be recessed?

No. Recessed pockets give the cleanest look in renovations and new construction, but surface mounted tracks in a matching finish work in finished rooms.

Can drapery be motorized?

Yes. Motorized tracks integrate with the same systems as our shades, including Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, Lutron, and Control4.

How do I choose fabric?

We pre-select options from the Carole Fabrics library based on your room, exposure, and goals, then review physical samples with you at the consultation.
