Custom Drapery for Great Rooms
Great rooms combine the scale of a formal living room with the openness of a kitchen and the architecture of a two-story volume. The studio specifies great-room drapery to read as a single architectural gesture across the wall of glass that defines most of these spaces.
Why Choose Great Room Drapery
Why Choose This Style
Ripple fold is the studio's default heading in contemporary great rooms; French pleat carries traditional and Mediterranean great rooms.
Tall mounts require interlining without exception so the panel carries its own weight to the floor.
Motorization is non-negotiable above ten feet — manual operation at height reads as a compromise from day one.
