The House of Drapery Design Standards
A studio reference on custom window treatments — written from the consultations we conduct, the rooms we measure, and the installations we return to over years.
These Standards document how our design team approaches the work, from the first conversation with a client to the long stewardship of a finished installation. They are not marketing material. They are the working principles of the studio, written for homeowners, interior designers, architects, and builders who want to understand the reasoning behind each decision.
How our design team thinks about every project
Before the Standards, there is the Method — a short editorial introduction that explains how we approach a drapery project before any product is named. Every chapter of the Standards builds on it.
The House of Drapery Method →A seven-volume reference
Volume I · The Consultation
How a custom drapery project begins — the conversation, the walk-through, the questions that shape every decision that follows.
Volume II · The Architecture of the Window
Reading ceiling height, sightlines, casing, returns, and the rooms a window actually serves.
Volume III · Cloth & Material
How fabric, lining, interlining, and trim are selected — and the trade-offs no showroom will explain.
Volume IV · Heading, Hardware & Motion
Pleat geometry, hardware specification, motorization, and the mechanics of a panel that hangs the way it was drawn.
Volume V · Fabrication
Inside the workroom — measurement, cutting, sewing, weighting, and the construction details that decide longevity. Chapter V.1 — The Hem — is in publication now.
Volume VI · Installation
Templating, mounting, dressing, and the final hour of any project that determines how it will look for a decade.
Volume VII · Stewardship
Cleaning, repair, re-lining, and the long life of a well-built drapery.
