Hollywood Masculine Primary Suite — Motorized FR Drapery & Inverted-Pleat Sheers

A high-floor Hollywood primary suite with two tall view windows flanking a linear gas fireplace set into the wall between them. The client wanted an unmistakably masculine room — cozy, weighty, worth its address — without losing the city view or compromising fire safety around the live flame. The brief: add depth and warmth, motorize for nightly use from the bed, soften light through the glass with a refined inverted-pleat sheer, and specify everything within reach of the fireplace to a fire-retardant standard.

Layered dual-track per window. Front layer: inverted-pleat sheers in a warm bronze-champagne tone — chosen for the disciplined, tailored fall that reads more masculine than a traditional gathered sheer, while still preserving the view. Back layer: floor-to-ceiling silk-look drapery in deep aubergine and olive, interlined for body and weight so the room reads cozy and substantial against the dark wood paneling. Because the fireplace sits between the two windows, every textile on this wall was specified fire-retardant (IFR-treated) so the drapery can live safely beside a working flame. Both layers motorized on a hardwired DC system controlled from a bedside keypad.

Front layer: IFR-rated inverted-pleat sheers in warm bronze-champagne with high view-retention. Back layer: IFR-rated silk-look drapery in deep aubergine and olive, interlined for weight and acoustic softening. All fabrics within the fireplace zone certified fire-retardant.

Concealed dual ceiling-mount motorized tracks, hardwired DC motors, bedside keypad scenes for morning, view, evening, and sleep. Hardware specified to disappear so the wall paneling and the fireplace remain the focal points.

Pre-wiring coordinated before paint so no motor or cable is visible. Tracks set flush to the ceiling and aligned to the window heads on either side of the fireplace; sheers hung first and field-trained for the exact inverted-pleat cadence; over-drapery hung second, hems weighted and walked-in over two visits to lock the stack against the dark wood paneling.

The room reads exactly as the client described it: masculine, cozy, and worth the address. The inverted-pleat sheers give the windows a tailored, architectural drop instead of a soft feminine gather. The weighted aubergine-and-olive drapery wraps the room with depth and warmth and absorbs sound at the same time. The motorized system runs silently from the bedside, and the IFR specification lets the drapery live safely beside the open flame between the two view windows.
