Burbank Two-Story Great Room — Scaffold Installation

A two-story great room in Burbank with a soaring arched window and a sculptural crystal chandelier suspended at full ceiling height. The opening demanded full-length drapery and sheers fabricated to exact two-story drops, ornate top-mount hardware aligned across multiple panels, and a safe installation path that respected the chandelier, the finished walls, and the existing furnishings below.

We engineered a scaffold-based install around the chandelier so technicians could work safely at top-of-window height without disturbing the fixture or the existing seating arrangement. Layered treatment: floor-length textured neutral drapery panels with tasseled tiebacks for ceremony and weight, layered behind with full-height ivory sheers to soften light through the arched glass. Ornate cast-metal top treatments were laid out and centered across each panel head before any fabric was hung.

Textured neutral chenille-look drapery in a warm oat tone with subtle striation; full-height ivory sheers underneath for daytime filtration and view softening. Both fabrications specified at true two-story length with weighted hems for a clean break at the floor.

Custom ornate cast-brass top treatments with Greek-key detail and crystal accents, set across the header in a coordinated rhythm. Concealed rod and carrier system behind the decorative facing. Bullion-tassel tiebacks at sill height.

Rolling scaffold staged inside the great room with floor and furniture protection in place. Header line laser-leveled across the full opening; ornate top pieces dry-fit, centered, and then mechanically secured. Sheers hung first, decorative panels second, tiebacks dressed last. All work completed without removing or disturbing the suspended crystal chandelier.

The finished installation reads as one composed architectural moment: the chandelier remains the focal point, the arched window is fully framed, and the ornate hardware reads as jewelry across the top of the room. The scaffold approach allowed precision at height that ladder work could not have safely achieved on a window of this scale.
