Motorized drapery in Los Angeles is no longer a luxury feature — it is the standard for any home with high mounts, sun-side glazing, or integrated lighting and shade control. Specified correctly by a designer-led workroom, it should be silent, invisible, and entirely forgotten by the homeowner.
The most common mistake we are asked to correct is motorization installed as an afterthought: visible motors, audible drives, mismatched controls, drapery that hesitates or stalls.
We specify motorized drapery from the wiring stage forward — Lutron, Somfy, or Crestron — coordinated with the home's lighting and shade ecosystem so a single keypad raises the room from morning to evening without a thought.
Panels run on ceiling-mounted ripple-fold tracks recessed into drywall pockets, powered by hardwired DC motors and fabricated with tailored fullness, interlining, and hand-finished hems. The homeowner sees only fabric.
Across Los Angeles — from west-facing Pacific Palisades great rooms and ocean-view Malibu primary suites to two-story Bel Air entries and oversized glass walls in Beverly Hills modernist homes — the studio's motorized programs are designer-led fabrication coordinated with the architect, integrator, and lighting designer.
Afternoon sun on a west elevation is the most demanding light condition in Los Angeles. Motorized ripple-fold panels in a performance linen or UV-stable sheer, paired with a recessed solar roller below, hold the room cool and glare-free without ever asking the homeowner to think about a wand.
On the Malibu and Pacific Palisades coast, motorization lets a sheer-and-blackout program open at sunrise and seal at sunset on a scheduled scene — view preserved by day, true darkness by night, with nothing visible at the ceiling line.
Double-height entries, great rooms, and walls of glass in Beverly Hills and Bel Air are unreachable by hand. Hardwired DC motors on ceiling-mounted ripple-fold tracks resolve the access problem and the visual one at once — the panel falls clean from the ceiling plane with tailored fullness and an interlined body.
Motorization is what makes a layered program actually used. A sheer track and an over-drapery or blackout track on independent motors, integrated into Lutron or Crestron scenes, deliver morning, afternoon, evening, and sleep on a single keypad press.
The studio works privately throughout Greater Los Angeles — measuring, fabricating, and installing motorized drapery for residences in:
Consultations are also available throughout Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Hancock Park, Woodland Hills, and the surrounding foothill and coastal neighborhoods — see all studio service areas.
Motorized drapery is documented across the studio archive. Recent installations include Pacific Palisades Master Bedroom — Monogrammed Linen Cornices, Beverly Hills Estate Window Treatments, and Malibu Ocean View Residence. For the broader practice in this area, see custom drapery in Pacific Palisades, and custom drapery in Beverly Hills. Pricing for projects of this scope is set out in the 2026 Custom Drapery Pricing Guide.
