A studio reference for the interior designers who specify drapery on luxury residences and hospitality interiors across Los Angeles. How the workroom collaborates, how COM is handled, how installation arrives white-label, and how the studio integrates with the architect, builder, and integrator of record from design development through punch.
For trade-account application, pricing structure, and the studio’s full to-the-trade overview, see the Trade Program page.
The studio fabricates on designer-specified Customer’s Own Material from every trade mill — Holland & Sherry, Dedar, Rubelli, Schumacher, Zimmer + Rohde, Lee Jofa, Scalamandré, Fortuny, Pierre Frey, Romo, Pollack, and the smaller European and Belgian houses. COM yardage is calculated against the heading, fullness, repeat, and railroading; pulls are documented on the project schedule; lead times are committed in writing before fabric is committed.
Designers brief the workroom directly. Pleat style, fullness, lining, interlining, and finishing details are reviewed against the room’s elevations and millwork drawings — not against a quoting sheet. House of Drapery coordinates the approved fabrication scope through installation where installation is included.
Where the brief calls for it, the studio assembles a presentation set the designer can carry to the client — pleat samples on the proposed fabric, lining and interlining swatches, hardware finish chips, motor and track samples, and a written specification ready to be presented at the design meeting.
Memo pulls, large memos, and CFAs are coordinated through the studio’s mill accounts when the designer prefers it. Samples are logged against the project, returned cleanly when required, and never circulated outside the design team.
Installation is professionally coordinated and overseen on site by House of Drapery, arriving in unbranded vehicles and unbranded attire, with installation documents that name the design firm rather than the workroom. Photography on the project is approved by the designer of record; the studio publishes nothing without written sign-off.
Hand-tacked French, Euro, goblet, and Parisian pleats; ripple fold on hardwired DC track; tailored flat panel, inverted box pleat, and rod-pocket; hand-finished hems on every panel over ten feet; mitered, weighted, and dressed corners on Romans and cornices. Construction is interlined by default on formal programs.
On new construction and gut renovations the studio briefs alongside the architect and GC from design development. Ceiling pockets, structural blocking, and conduit are dimensioned on shop drawings the GC can build to; sign-offs happen before drywall closes. The designer of record is copied on every site note.
Line-item proposals organized by opening and by room, sequenced to the designer’s and purchasing agent’s PO calendar. Established trade pricing once an account is approved. Quotes, COIs, NFPA 701 certificates, and lien releases are issued through the design firm’s preferred channel.
Full-residence programs of twenty to ninety openings, multi-residence developer programs, and hospitality work for boutique hotels, private clubs, and members-only properties. One specification, coordinated fabrication, and coordinated on-site installation — across the whole project, not just the rooms with the largest budgets.
Trade pricing, designer-led specification, and white-label installation are extended once a trade account is approved. Most qualified applications receive a response within two business days.

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.
