Luxury drapery, custom curtains, motorized window treatments, and blackout systems for Beverly Hills homes — the Flats, Trousdale, Beverly Park, the Bird Streets, and the Beverly Hills Post Office above Sunset. Designer-led specification, atelier fabrication, and on-site installation by Olga Rechdouni, ASID. Belgian and Italian fabric, Lutron and Crestron motorization, layered sheer-and-blackout primary suites.
If you are searching for custom drapery near Beverly Hills, the studio is minutes from the Flats and Trousdale. Based in West Hollywood, House of Drapery by Duroque specializes in custom drapery with private in-home consultations throughout Los Angeles, conducted personally by Olga Rechdouni, ASID.
Trousdale walls of glass, Beverly Park estate windows, Flats traditional bay openings, and Beverly Hills Post Office canyon-view rooms each ask for a different vocabulary. The studio specifies fabric, heading, fullness, and hardware to the architecture of the house — never from a swatch wall in isolation. Belgian and Italian linen, figured silk through Holland & Sherry and Rubelli, and performance weaves for the west-facing rooms that demand them.
Motorized drapery in Beverly Hills is specified on the lighting platform the home already runs — most often Lutron QS or RA3, with Crestron, Savant, and Control4 close behind. Hardwired DC motors disappear into recessed ceiling pockets; Somfy battery motors are reserved for retrofits where wall-fishing is not feasible. The drapery program is commissioned with the integrator before the install team leaves the site.
Beverly Hills primary suites get the studio’s most demanding blackout work — interlined panels on side channels with a parallel sheer track, recessed ceiling pockets, and motorized layering on one keypad scene. Theatrical darkness for sleep; cinema-grade darkness for screening rooms; a daytime sheer that lets the canyon or the lawn do the work the rest of the time.
Ripple fold on a recessed ceiling track is the studio’s default contemporary specification — a continuous S-curve in linen, wool sheer, or silk-blend voile that reads as a vertical plane of fabric rather than as a window treatment. Specified for Trousdale, the Bird Streets, and contemporary new-build estates where the architecture asks for quiet.
French pleat, goblet pleat, and inverted pleat in Belgian linen, figured silk, or wool flannel for traditional Beverly Hills interiors — the Flats, the Tudor and Spanish Colonial restorations off Sunset, and the formal living rooms north of Santa Monica Boulevard. Hand-tacked headings, interlining as default, sewn weight chains, mitered corners.
Olga Rechdouni, ASID, meets every Beverly Hills client at the room before any fabric is specified. The consultation covers architecture, daylight, room function, privacy, acoustic target, motorization plan, and how the drapery has to behave ten years in. Fabric is the last conversation, not the first.
Direct mill relationships in Belgium, northern Italy, and the United Kingdom. Figured fabric through Holland & Sherry, Dedar, Rubelli, Schumacher, Zimmer + Rohde, Lee Jofa, GP & J Baker, and Scalamandré. Performance and inherently fire-retardant weaves for canyon, hillside, and coastal-adjacent homes. Selections are made on the mill floor, not from a binder.
Every Beverly Hills panel is fabricated in the studio’s West Hollywood atelier and installed by Olga’s own team — never subcontracted. Primary measurement to the sixteenth of an inch, dry-fit before fabrication on programs above a defined threshold, and on-site commissioning for primary-suite and great-room dressing.
Beverly Hills is not one drapery vocabulary. The studio specifies three related ones — ridge-line contemporary, gated-estate formal, and traditional Flats — tuned to the architecture of each neighborhood.
Trousdale is the studio’s most-frequently-specified Beverly Hills neighborhood — mid-century modernist homes on the Trousdale ridge with single-pitch rooflines, walls of glass, and uninterrupted city-to-ocean views from Sunset Plaza to Palos Verdes. The drapery program almost always reads as a single continuous plane of fabric: ripple fold on a recessed ceiling track, motorized on Lutron QS or RA3, in a wool sheer or linen voile that stacks tight off-glass and leaves the view alone.
Beverly Park is estate-scale work above Coldwater — gated grounds, double-height entries, formal living and dining rooms, primary suites the size of a city apartment, and a screening room that is rarely a screening room only. Drapery here is specified in families: French pleat in interlined wool or figured silk for the formal program, ripple fold in linen or sheer for the contemporary additions, three-pass blackout layered behind sheer in the primary suites. Motorization is hardwired into the home’s lighting platform from rough-in.
The Flats — the grid of broad lots south of Sunset, north of Santa Monica Boulevard — is where the studio writes most of its traditional Beverly Hills work. Tudor restorations, Spanish Colonial revivals, Georgian and Mediterranean estates with formal living rooms, libraries, and dining rooms that ask for hand-tacked French pleat, goblet pleat, or inverted pleat on hand-forged bronze or iron, in Belgian linen, figured silk, or wool flannel. Interlining as default; sewn weight chains; mitered corners.

View Project →The Beverly Hills drapery programs the studio is invited onto are almost always specified after a previous installation has failed to read as architecture. The fabric was right; the heading was wrong. The motor was right; the track was wrong. The system was assembled, not designed.
The studio works the other way around. Olga writes the specification at the room — architecture, daylight, function, acoustic target, motorization plan, hardware, fabric — before any sample is presented. Fabric is the last conversation. Beverly Hills is the geography where that discipline shows up most clearly in the finished work.
Specification references: the contemporary heading on Trousdale and Bird Streets walls of glass is ripple fold; the traditional heading in the Flats and Beverly Park is French pleat or goblet pleat. Fabric is most often sourced through Holland & Sherry and Rubelli. Built references include the traditional Beverly Hills estate and the modern organic Beverly Hills residence.

Yes — Beverly Hills is one of the studio’s most active residential geographies. The Flats, Trousdale, Beverly Park, the Bird Streets, and the Beverly Hills Post Office above Sunset are all served by Olga personally, from consultation through on-site commissioning. Programs range from single-room ripple fold to whole-house motorized layered systems.
Beverly Hills programs typically run from the mid five figures for a primary suite or great room to the low six figures for whole-house motorized layered systems on European fabric. The price is set by fabric, heading, fullness, hardware, motorization, and labor — not by square footage. The studio quotes against a written specification, not a yardage estimate.
Sometimes. Existing panels can occasionally be re-headed onto a motorized track if the fabric, lining, and fullness are correct for the new system. More often, motorization is the cleanest moment to re-specify the drapery from scratch — the wall is already going to be opened for the motor, the track, and the wiring.
Yes. The studio runs a trade program for interior designers, architects, and builders working with their own clients across Beverly Hills. The designer keeps the client relationship; the studio handles drapery specification, fabrication, installation, and motorization commissioning.
Six to twelve weeks from consultation to installation, depending on scope and fabric lead time. Estate-scale programs and projects pulling custom weaves from the European mills run longer. Motorization adds rough-in coordination time but does not usually extend the schedule when the studio is involved before drywall.
Estate projects in Beverly Hills are designed against the same written method we apply everywhere. The Standards describe how each consultation, walk-through, and specification on a residence is conducted.
Begin with a private consultation. We will follow with a tailored proposal, fabric direction, and an honest opinion on what your room is asking for.
