Custom Drapery Workroom in Los Angeles
House of Drapery operates as a professional custom drapery workroom for the Los Angeles trade — interior designers, decorators, builders, architects, AV integrators, and the firms specifying soft window treatments on the city’s most considered residences and commercial interiors. Hand fabrication, written specification, motorization integration, and white-glove installation under one studio led by Olga Rechdouni, ASID.
For the Trade
Drapery Fabrication for Designers, Builders & Architects
Builders & General Contractors
Drapery and motorization specified from the rough-electrical stage forward — track pockets, low-voltage runs, keypad coordination, and field measurement coordinated with the construction schedule.
Architects
Drapery and shading written into the architectural set, with ceiling pocket details, motorization scope, and acoustic specification documented for the contractor of record.
AV & Smart-Home Integrators
Lutron, Crestron, Savant, Control4 — drapery and shade motorization coordinated to your project's keypad ecosystem, with scene logic and astronomical-clock programming written alongside your design.

Roman Shade Fabrication
Flat, relaxed, and hobbled folds, interlined for body, cordless or motorized lift, every shade weighted to fall straight.

Cornices, Valances & Upholstered Treatments
Hand-built upholstered cornices, shaped valances, monogrammed and trimmed to specification.
On-Site Installation
The studio's own install crew — rolling scaffolds, hand tacking on site, commissioning on the homeowner's keypad before we leave.
A note on construction
The hem is the shoe of the drapery
In the studio’s professional opinion, the hem is one of the defining indicators of luxury custom drapery. For most floor-length panels our workroom specifies a 4-inch double-fold hem with approximately 8 inches of fabric allowance and, on lightweight cloths and tall panels, a concealed bottom weight chain sewn into the hem. Where the fabric requires it — sheers, organza, fine silks — alternative techniques (blind stitch, slip stitch, fine rolled / Euro hem) are specified instead. Industry standards are professional starting points; construction is specified to the fabric, not duplicated from the last project. Construction decisions of this kind are personally specified by Olga Rechdouni, ASID.
