How a luxury drapery installation actually unfolds.

1. 01
   Consultation

   A measured site visit. Olga reads the architecture, the light exposure, and how the room is lived in before any direction is given.

2. 02
   Measurement

   Final measurements taken with hardware location confirmed — ceiling, soffit, beam, or frame mount, including return depth and stack space.

3. 03
   Specification

   Written drapery specification: pleat style, fullness, lining, interlining, hem allowance, hardware finish, and motorization plan.

4. 04
   Fabrication

   Panels are cut, weighted, lined, and hand-finished in the studio. Fabrication runs three to six weeks after fabric arrives; estate-scale programs run longer.

5. 05
   Hardware Mounting

   Tracks, rods, and motorized systems are installed by the studio team — never sub-contracted out to a generic handyman.

6. 06
   Hanging & Dressing

   Panels are hung, steamed, and trained into their pleats by hand. Drapery is set so the fold pattern reads cleanly from day one.

7. 07
   Post-Install Care

   A written care document covers vacuuming cadence, periodic professional cleaning, and motorization service intervals.
