Discover Window Treatment Options for Your High-End Residential Projects

Luxury design projects in Los Angeles require window treatments that function as integral architectural elements, not afterthoughts. Custom drapery gives you precise control over scale, proportion, and design cohesion, and these advantages become immediately apparent when compared to off-the-shelf alternatives.

When you plan custom drapery integration early in your design process, you’ll avoid the coordination headaches plaguing projects where window treatments get specified late. 

Working with Window Collections during initial design phases allows proper coordination of electrical requirements, structural considerations, and hardware placement. This prevents costly revisions and keeps your projects on schedule, all while delivering the design vision you originally planned. Early planning also enables optimal fabric selection, precise measurements, and coordination with lighting control systems. 

It’s time to distinguish your projects from the standard LA fare, so learn about the details of incorporating custom drapery below.
