We design the room before we design the window.
This studio works to a documented method. Before a fabric is named, we read the architecture, agree on what the drapery is asked to do, and honor the room it belongs to. The reasoning behind every recommendation is written down, in chapters, so the decisions a client lives with for a decade are decisions they helped make.
Why Most Custom Drapery Fails
Drapery is an architectural element, not a soft good. Most of what passes for “custom” in Los Angeles is fabric cut to a measurement and hung on a rod — specified without ever asking what the room was doing.
The work starts long before the first stitch. We walk the rooms, watch where the afternoon sun lands, ask how the family actually uses the space, and look at how the ceilings, casings, and floors line up. Hardware gets chosen against the architecture, not picked from a catalog.
A good workroom can sew a beautiful panel. A designer decides whether that panel should exist at all, where it should mount, and what it has to do once the family lives with it.
Why Homeowners Hire a Drapery Designer
Custom drapery sits between architecture, engineering, and tailoring. Every step has to be right. Shortcuts show themselves within a season.
Nine questions we settle in writing before a single panel is cut.
Architecture
We read the room first. The drapery should continue the line of the wall, not chop it.
Ceiling Height
Mounting at the ceiling instead of the window casing routinely buys a room a foot of perceived height.
Light Control
West-facing LA glass needs more than a pretty linen. We layer sheers and blackout for the hour of day that matters.
Privacy
Most homes need privacy at night and the view by day. One panel rarely does both well.
Acoustics
Three-pass interlining at correct fullness takes the slap out of hard-surface modern rooms.
Fire Safety
In the canyons and on the coast we spec inherently fire-retardant fabric, not topical FR sprays that fade out.
Motorization
Hard-wired Lutron, Somfy, and Crestron, planned at electrical rough-in. Battery tubes are a last resort.
Hardware
Hand-forged bronze or hand-wrought iron for traditional rooms; recessed track for contemporary glass. Never builder-grade.
Long-Term Performance
Properly weighted, properly dressed drapery should still hang correctly fifteen years in. We build for that.
We don’t just fabricate drapery.
We dress windows.
We start with the room — the ceiling height, the proportions, how the light moves through it, the view worth protecting, and the noise worth softening. The drapery answers those questions, in that order.
From the first measurement to final dressing, every curtain installation in Los Angeles is handled by the studio’s own team — scaffolds set, hardware tuned, and folds steam-trained on site before we leave the residence.
The Knowledge Library
A working reference for homeowners, interior designers, and architects on how luxury drapery is actually designed in Los Angeles.
Why You Need a Drapery Designer, Not Just a Drapery Manufacturer
A manufacturer sews fabric to a measurement. A designer reads the room first — its light, its architecture, its life — and only then specifies the fabric. The difference shows the moment the drapery is hung.

On the coast you keep the view by choosing the right openness factor, not by hanging less fabric. Here is how we balance it in Malibu and the Palisades.

Signature Design ConceptMalibu Ocean View Residence
Wall-to-wall ripple fold in a 3% performance sheer, recessed ceiling track. The brief was simple: keep the Pacific in the room, take the four o'clock glare out of it.
Signature Design ConceptReseda Great Room
French pleat in oat Belgian linen, hung from a concealed ceiling track wall to wall. The homeowner wanted the panels above the window. We moved them to the ceiling. That one decision made the whole renovation read.

Olga Rechdouni, ASID
Interior Designer · Founder of Duroque
House of Drapery by Duroque is the Los Angeles / West Hollywood custom drapery and window treatment studio of Olga Rechdouni, ASID, founder of Duroque. She has worked privately on Los Angeles homes for more than twenty years. Trained at FIDM and raised in a family of custom furniture makers, she came up on a workroom floor. That is still how she runs every project.
Duroque is her West Hollywood studio and online gallery, now in its fourteen year. It is the broader interiors, furniture, decorative arts, and window-treatment practice House of Drapery came out of. Her work is restrained, precise, and built around one conviction: drapery is part of the architecture, not an accessory to it.
Every January she is in Paris and Milan, on the floor at Maison & Objet and Salone, and at the Belgian and Italian mills she specifies from. The fabric library is current because she sees it in person.
The studio serves Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Calabasas, Santa Monica, and Woodland Hills.
A Formal Living Room, Quieted by Drapery
The room arrived with strong architecture and twelve-foot windows that overwhelmed every soft furnishing the family had tried. Olga specified full-height ripple-fold panels in a weighted Belgian linen, drawn from the studio’s atelier with hand-finished leading edges and concealed motorization. The drapery now reads as part of the architecture — the windows feel composed, and the room finally holds its proportions.

From Los Angeles Homeowners
“Olga walked our rooms before she ever opened a fabric book. The drapery she specified made our twelve-foot windows finally feel like part of the architecture.”
“We kept the ocean view and lost the four o’clock glare. Her team installed it themselves, dressed every fold on site, and left the house cleaner than they found it.”
“After two failed attempts with other workrooms, working with Olga felt like working with a designer, not a vendor. The result reads as part of the house.”
