Custom Sheer Curtains & Sheer Drapery in Los Angeles
A well-specified sheer is the most useful drapery in the California home — it preserves the view, diffuses afternoon glare, protects interiors from UV, and softens the architecture without ever fighting it.
Why Choose This Style
Most sheers fail because they are chosen as fabric, not as performance. A coastal-facing sheer must filter UV; a canyon-facing sheer must hold light; a city sheer must hold privacy from a neighbor's second-story window.
We specify woven performance sheers — Belgian linens, technical voiles, and engineered open-weaves — chosen to do the specific job the window is asking of them.
Sheers are most often paired with a heavier privacy or blackout panel for evening. We design the layering, the track separation, and the stack-back so that both layers function independently and visually disappear when not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will sheers protect my furniture from sun?
- A performance sheer with a tight weave can block 70–95% of UV depending on specification. We select based on the orientation of the window and the value of what the sheer is protecting.
- Can sheers provide privacy at night?
- Daytime privacy yes, nighttime no. At night, interior lighting reverses the sheer's behavior and the room becomes fully visible from outside. We always pair sheers with a privacy layer for evening.
- Are sheers appropriate for fire-retardant requirements?
- Yes. We specify inherently fire-retardant performance sheers for coastal Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and canyon homes.
