Beverly Hills Estate — Traditional Luxury

An editorial design study for a traditional Beverly Hills Flats estate — soft white boiserie, herringbone oak, plaster ceiling medallions, French doors onto a private garden — where the formal living and dining rooms ask for hand-tacked pleating, interlined cloth, and exposed period hardware that reads as part of the architecture rather than dressed over it.

The studio specifies hand-tacked French pleat panels in a warm ivory Belgian linen for the formal living room and goblet-pleat figured silk drapery in champagne over a sheer linen privacy layer for the dining room. Both treatments are ceiling-mounted on hand-forged antique brass rods with leaf finials, full 2.75x fullness, interlined for weighted fall, and dressed at the leading edge to return cleanly into the boiserie.

Warm ivory 100% Belgian linen (heavy weight, interlined with bump) for the living room; figured silk taffeta in champagne for the dining room over a sheer linen privacy layer; cotton sateen lining throughout; hand-finished side hems and sewn weight chains.

Hand-forged antique brass rods with leaf finials, ceiling-mounted to maximize stack height. Concealed traverse mechanism behind decorative rings. Antique-brass holdbacks at the leading edge for the dining room.

All panels hand-tacked, steamed, and dressed in the studio. On-site installation phased over two days with final fold dressing on day three to settle the interlining.

An editorial design study showing how a Beverly Hills Flats formal program reads when the drapery is specified to the boiserie, the chandelier, and the daylight rather than to a swatch wall — Parisian-luxury restraint executed in a Belgian-and-Italian cloth vocabulary.
