A Private Design Review by House of Drapery
Show Us Your Window
What Would a Designer Do With Your Window?
Before you decide between drapery, shades, sheers, blackout—or whether the window needs a treatment at all—show us the room.
You may have no idea what you need. You may be choosing between two directions. You may already have an idea and simply want a designer's point of view before committing to it.
Send us a few photographs. A House of Drapery designer will personally consider the window in the context of your interior and provide an initial solution and design direction.
No measurements required to begin.
No treatment selected.
No window-treatment terminology required.
There is no charge for the initial review.
Start With the Room, Not the Product
Choosing a window treatment is rarely just a question of choosing curtains or shades.
The right direction can depend on the architecture, ceiling height, proportions of the glass, available wall space, furniture placement, daylight, privacy, the view and how you want the room to feel.
That is why Show Us Your Window begins differently.
Instead of asking you to decide what product you need, we ask to see the room.
Show us what you're working with. Tell us what is bothering you, what you want to change, what you're considering—or simply that you're not sure.
We'll begin there.
What Is Show Us Your Window?
Show Us Your Window is a complimentary private window-treatment design review offered by House of Drapery by Duroque in Los Angeles.
It is designed for people who know a window or room needs consideration but may not know whether the answer is custom drapery, sheer drapery, Roman shades, blackout, motorization, a layered treatment—or whether the window should remain untreated.
Send us photographs of the window and the room around it and tell us what you are considering. You can also simply tell us you're not sure.
A House of Drapery designer personally reviews what you share and responds with an initial solution and design direction.
You do not need to know window-treatment terminology, and you do not need measurements to begin.
This is a human design review, not an automated recommendation.
You Don't Need to Know What You Need
Some clients come to us knowing exactly what they want.
Others know only that something about the window—or the room around it—doesn't feel resolved.
Both are perfectly good places to begin.
Perhaps you want privacy without losing daylight.
Perhaps your windows are unusually tall or wide.
You may be deciding between drapery and Roman shades, wondering whether you need blackout, considering motorization, trying to preserve a view or looking for a way to soften a room without overwhelming it with fabric.
Maybe you've saved an inspiration image and want to know whether the idea would work in your home.
Maybe someone has already recommended a treatment and you want a designer's perspective before committing to it.
Maybe you're concerned about making an expensive custom decision before you're confident in the direction.
Or perhaps you're simply looking at the window thinking:
“What would you do here?”
That is enough to begin.
Show us the room.
We'll consider what belongs there.
Already Have an Idea? Show Us That Too.
You don't have to begin from zero.
You may already be considering drapery, Roman shades, sheers, blackout, motorization or another direction.
Perhaps you've saved an interior, drapery detail, fabric, hardware idea or other reference that captures something you like.
Or perhaps someone has already suggested a treatment and you want another design perspective before committing to it.
The question isn't simply whether an idea is beautiful.
The question is whether it makes sense for your particular window, architecture and room.
A reference can begin the conversation.
The room determines the direction.
What Might Belong at Your Window?
The answer depends on the room.
The direction may involve custom drapery, sheer drapery, Roman shades, blackout, motorized drapery, layered window treatments, decorative hardware, concealed hardware, recessed tracks—or a combination of treatments.
Sometimes the right answer is simpler.
A designer's job is not to put more at the window. It is to determine what belongs there.
Tall, Difficult or Unusual Windows
Not every window presents an obvious solution.
Tall glass, unusual proportions, limited wall space, architectural conditions, privacy requirements, furniture placement and the way daylight enters a room can all affect the direction.
Rather than choosing a treatment in isolation, we look at the window as part of the room.
Sometimes that leads to full-height drapery. Sometimes a sheer layer, Roman shade, blackout treatment, concealed track or motorized system is more appropriate. Sometimes the architecture is better left visually quiet.
The photographs give us a place to begin.
Privacy, Light and the Way a Room Feels
Window treatments are not only decorative.
They can change how daylight enters a room, how private it feels, how the architecture is framed and how visually soft or quiet the space becomes.
A sheer can soften daylight while maintaining a connection to the outside. Blackout can provide greater nighttime privacy and light control. Layered treatments can allow a room to change throughout the day.
The objective is not simply to cover a window.
It is to understand what the room needs.
Reviewed by a Designer, Not an Algorithm
Your photographs are reviewed personally by House of Drapery.
We look beyond the window itself to consider the room around it: architecture, scale, existing furnishings, daylight, privacy, function and how a treatment should relate to the interior.
The initial review is complimentary.
If the project moves forward, final design, specification, measurements, materials, pricing and installation requirements are confirmed through the appropriate House of Drapery consultation and project process.
What Will We Consider?
The initial review is intended to give you a direction—not simply tell you which product to buy.
Depending on what you share, we may consider:
- What We See
- The relationship between the window and the room: architecture, proportion, scale, daylight, privacy, furnishings, view and other visible conditions relevant to the treatment.
- Our Direction
- The treatment or design approach we believe is worth considering.
- Why
- How that direction relates to the room and the concern you've shared.
- What We'd Confirm Next
- Anything that requires additional information, accurate measurements, site conditions, material selection, hardware requirements or an in-person consultation before a responsible final specification can be made.
The photographs give us a place to begin.
Final design and specification may require additional information or an on-site consultation.
From a Photograph to a Direction
Show us the room.
Send one to three photographs. A wider view helps us understand the window as part of the interior.
Tell us what you're thinking.
Privacy, daylight, blackout, softness, scale, style—or simply: “I'm not sure.”
We consider it.
A House of Drapery designer reviews what you've shared.
You hear from us personally.
We respond using the contact method you selected with an initial solution and design direction.
Private by Design
Inviting someone into your home—even through photographs—requires trust.
Your submission is treated as a private design inquiry. It is not distributed to other companies for competing estimates or third-party marketing.
Don't worry about taking perfect photographs. We simply want to understand the window and the room around it.
For privacy, avoid including people, personal documents or other sensitive information in your photographs.
Prefer to begin another way? You can always call, text, email or request a private consultation.
Your Window. Considered.
You don't need to arrive with the answer.
Show us the room. We'll consider what belongs there.
