Commercial Drapery in Los Angeles

Contract, hospitality, hotel, restaurant, club, and office drapery — specified to the same residential discipline, built to commercial code and cycle counts. Every Los Angeles commercial program the studio accepts is inherently fire-retardant to NFPA 701, verified for California Title 19, motorized as a baseline expectation, and finished to read residential-luxury rather than commercial-utility.

The Sectors

Hospitality, Restaurant, Club & Office

Hotel & Hospitality Drapery

Guestroom layered sheer-and-blackout assemblies, lobby and ballroom drapery, and presidential-suite programs. Specified to brand standard, cycle-tested for housekeeping, and finished to read residential-luxury rather than commercial-utility.

Restaurant Drapery

Private dining, banquette nooks, wine rooms, and full window walls — drawn for acoustic warmth, glare control, and the visual softness that lets the room photograph well at dinner service.

Private Clubs & Event Venues

Members’ lounges, screening rooms, ballrooms, and event spaces. Heavy interlined velvet for blackout and acoustic absorption, motorized on Lutron or Crestron, fully NFPA 701 compliant.

Office & Corporate Drapery

Executive suites, boardrooms, reception lobbies, and law-firm libraries. Wool flannel, mohair, and contract linen — specified for glare, privacy, and the same acoustic target as the architecture.

Retail & Hospitality Adjacencies

Fitting-room drapery, spa treatment-room curtains, hotel-adjacent retail, and showroom programs. Drawn from the same commercial-grade specification book, finished to the standard of the residential studio.

Code & Performance

NFPA 701, Title 19, Acoustic & Blackout

NFPA 701

Every commercial cloth specified by the studio is inherently fire-retardant to NFPA 701 (small- and large-scale) at minimum — never topical-treat at the workroom. This is non-negotiable for hospitality and assembly occupancies.

California Title 19

Title 19 compliance is verified for every Los Angeles commercial program before fabrication. Certificates are filed with the project record and forwarded to the fire marshal on request.

Acoustic Engineering

Restaurants, ballrooms, and private clubs are specified to an acoustic target rather than a yardage figure. Interlining, fullness, and stack-back are tuned to the room’s reverberation time — the drapery does measurable work, not decorative work.

Blackout Systems

Guestroom and screening-room blackout uses interlined panels on side channels with a parallel sheer track. Theatrical darkness in primary suites and ballrooms; motorized on the property’s control platform.

From the Studio

Commercial Drapery, Specified to Residential Discipline

The reason most Los Angeles commercial programs the studio is invited onto fail before we arrive is the same: the drapery was specified to a hospitality-vendor catalog rather than to the architecture. The cloth was chosen for price-per-yard rather than for hand. The motors were chosen for the integrator’s convenience rather than for the room.

The studio runs commercial drapery on the same brief as the residential work — measurement to the cloth, the lining, and the heading; engineering to the architecture, the daylight, and the acoustic target; finishing to a standard that reads as part of the building, not as an applied finish. NFPA 701 and Title 19 compliance are the floor, not the ceiling.

FAQs · Commercial Drapery Los Angeles

Contract, Hospitality, Hotel & Restaurant Drapery

What is contract drapery and how is it different from residential drapery?

Contract drapery is fabricated to commercial code — fire-retardancy (NFPA 701, California Title 19), cycle counts measured in tens of thousands of draws, and seam construction engineered for housekeeping rather than for once-a-week residential use. House of Drapery specifies contract programs to the same design discipline as our residential work; the difference is in the cloth, the lining, the bar tacks, and the documentation.

Do you do hotel drapery in Los Angeles?

Yes — guestroom layered sheer-and-blackout, suite drapery, lobby and ballroom programs, and presidential-suite specifications. Every cloth is inherently fire-retardant; every motor is specified to the property’s Lutron, Crestron, or Savant platform; every program is documented to the brand standard.

Can you handle restaurant drapery and acoustic treatments?

Yes. Restaurant drapery is one of the studio’s strongest commercial verticals — private dining rooms, banquette nooks, wine rooms, and full window walls. Drapery does measurable acoustic work in a restaurant; we specify interlining and fullness to a reverberation-time target, not to a yardage figure.

Do you work with general contractors and FF&E procurement?

Yes. Commercial programs are run on a GC-facing schedule with submittals, samples, and lead-time letters issued at every milestone. We integrate cleanly into FF&E procurement and respond to RFIs within the project’s documented turnaround.

What about office drapery for law firms and corporate suites?

Office drapery is specified the same way as residential — wool flannel, mohair, and contract linen for executive suites and boardrooms; ripple-fold motorized panels for lobby curtain walls; blackout for screening and demo rooms. Title 19 compliance is verified before fabrication.
