Custom Drapes Designed for NYC Homes
Every home in New York City is different, which is why our custom drapes are fully made to measure. From precise on-site measuring to thoughtful fabric selection and expert fabrication, we design drapery that complements your ceiling height, window placement, and architectural details—whether you live in a classic prewar apartment or a modern high-rise.
Fabric Selection, Fullness, and Tailored Details
The quality of custom drapes is defined by the details. We guide you through fabric weight, texture, lining options, and proper fullness to ensure your drapery hangs beautifully and functions the way it should. Each project is thoughtfully planned for balance, movement, and longevity—never off-the-shelf or one-size-fits-all.
For added softness and light diffusion, custom drapes are often paired with sheer drapery to create depth, balance, and flexibility throughout the day.
Complimentary In-Home Consultation and Professional Installation
Our process begins with a complimentary in-home consultation, where we take precise measurements and help you select fabrics and finishes that suit your space and lifestyle. From fabrication to final installation, every detail is handled by experienced professionals to ensure a seamless, polished result—without the guesswork.
Blackout and Motorized Drapery Options
Custom drapes can be designed with blackout linings for bedrooms and media rooms, or paired with motorized systems for effortless daily use. These options are ideal for larger windows, high ceilings, and hard-to-reach areas, offering enhanced comfort, light control, and convenience while maintaining a refined, tailored appearance.
In some spaces, custom drapes are layered with dedicated Blackout Shades NYC to achieve complete light control while preserving a refined, tailored look.
When convenience and automation are a priority, custom drapes can be integrated into larger motorized window treatments systems for seamless daily operation.

Our team is experienced in working with a wide range of NYC buildings, including prewar apartments, condos, and high-rise residences, and we coordinate carefully to meet building requirements and installation standards.
Custom drapery installations are common in many Manhattan residences, particularly in apartments with large windows and high ceilings. For example, in a recent installation at 252 South Street in Manhattan, we designed and installed motorized sheer ripplefold drapery to soften natural light while preserving the skyline view.
