Custom Drapery Cost in Los Angeles
What luxury custom drapery actually costs in Los Angeles, what drives the number, and what the studio considers a fair budget for each room type.
Custom drapery cost in Los Angeles is a function of fabric, fullness, lining, hardware, mounting height, and motorization — not panel count alone.
Luxury custom drapery typically ranges from $1,500 to $6,000+ per panel for a fully finished, lined, hand-fabricated, and installed window. Motorization adds $1,500–$4,000 per opening.
What drives the cost
Fabric yardage and price-per-yard are the largest single variables. Fullness and lining add proportionally. Hardware and motorization are step-function additions.
Per-room budgets the studio considers reasonable
A formal living room with two large windows: $8,000–$25,000. A primary suite with layered motorized drapery: $20,000–$60,000. A great room wall of glass with motorized ripple fold: $30,000–$120,000.
Where homeowners overpay
Showroom markups, retail manufacturers without design discipline, and battery-motor systems that need replacement within five years.
Questions homeowners ask us
- Is custom drapery worth the cost?
- When the design discipline is right and the fabrication is hand, yes — it lasts twenty years and reads as architecture for the life of the home.
- Can I phase a whole-home program?
- Yes. We routinely phase by floor or by formal-vs-private spaces to spread investment across the renovation timeline.
