Cutting Edge Drapery

Custom Drapery · Commercial & Residential

Custom-fabricated drapery for boardrooms, luxury hotels, fine-dining rooms, and high-end homes. Oversized panels, curved tracks, motorized operation, and flame-certified fabrics. Few contractors in the Bay Area take on this kind of work, and we’ve been doing it since 1998.

The Rooms We Dress

Each room needs something different from its drapery. We build each panel for the room it’s going into.

Boardrooms & executive suites

The Boardroom

Full-height drapery that blacks out a room for a presentation and opens back up to the view after. Motorized tracks tie into the room's AV and lighting scenes, and heavy fabrics take the echo out of glass-walled conference rooms.

  • Blackout & dim-out linings
  • Motorized tracks on AV & lighting scenes
  • Acoustic fabrics for glass-walled rooms

Luxury hotels & hospitality

The Hotel

Lobbies, ballrooms, suites, and guest-room floors. Flame-certified fabrics for public spaces, blackout layers for guests who need to sleep, and installation crews scheduled around occupancy so rooms come back online fast.

  • NFPA 701 & CA Title 19 fabrics
  • Ballroom & double-height panels
  • Floor-by-floor installs around occupancy

Restaurants & private dining

The Dining Room

Drapery that sets the light for dinner service and softens a loud room. Panels that divide a private dining area on a curved track, and fabrics chosen to stand up to a working restaurant.

  • Room-dividing panels on curved track
  • Sound-softening fabrics & interlinings
  • After-hours install, no lost covers

High-end homes & penthouses

The Residence

Living rooms with two-story glass, primary bedrooms that need real blackout, and bay windows that need a bent track. We work directly with homeowners and with their interior designers, including on designer-supplied fabrics.

  • Two-story & oversized windows
  • Bay & curved bends, made to fit
  • Designer & COM fabrics welcome

Heading Styles

How the fabric is gathered at the top decides how the whole panel hangs. We fabricate every major heading style and help you pick the one that fits the room.

Plan view

Ripplefold

Boardrooms · hotels · modern homes

An even, continuous S-wave set by carriers on the track. Clean and architectural, and the standard choice for motorized drapery.

Plan view

Pinch Pleat

Dining rooms · traditional interiors

Three folds pinched together at the top and released below. A fuller, more tailored look with deep, even drape.

Euro Pleat

Residences · suites

Folds tacked at the very top instead of at the base, so the fabric fans out from the heading. Tailored at the top and softer below.

Inverted Box Pleat

Ballrooms · formal spaces

Folds turned to the back so the face reads as flat, crisp columns. Formal and quiet, and it stacks neatly when open.

Why Few Shops Take It On

Custom drapery at this scale needs a workroom, a track installer, and a motorization team. Most companies have one of the three. We do all of it in-house.

01

Oversized & Seamless Panels

Wide-width and railroaded fabrics for double-height lobbies, ballrooms, and two-story living rooms, so tall panels hang without vertical seams.

02

Curved, Bent & Bay Tracks

Tracks bent to the radius of a curved wall, a bay window, or a room-dividing arc, then fitted on site so the drapery travels smoothly the whole way around.

03

Motorized Drapery

Silent Gliss, Lutron, and Somfy motorized tracks, tied into boardroom AV, hotel room controls, or a home's lighting scenes, so the drapery opens with one button.

04

Linings & Interlinings

Blackout, dim-out, and thermal linings, plus interlining for body and a fuller drape. Each layer is chosen for how the room is used.

05

Flame-Certified Fabrics

NFPA 701 tested and California Title 19 registered fabrics for hotels, restaurants, and other public spaces, with the certificates delivered for your fire marshal.

06

Acoustic Drapery

Heavy and acoustic-rated fabrics that cut reverberation in glass-walled boardrooms and loud dining rooms, without adding panels to the wall.

07

Designer & COM Fabrics

We work with interior designers and fabricate from customer's own material (COM): checking yardage, pattern repeat, and fabric suitability before cutting.

08

Hand-Finished Details

Weighted hems, mitered corners, and patterns matched across every panel in the room. These are the details people notice when they're missing.

How It’s Made

Six steps from the first conversation to drapery that hangs the way it was drawn, all handled by one team.

Step 1: Walk-Through & Design

We walk the space with you, your architect, or your interior designer and talk through light, privacy, sound, and how the room gets used.

Step 2: Fabric & Hardware Selection

Fabric, lining, heading style, and track or rod chosen together, including designer and COM fabrics. Flame certification confirmed for commercial spaces.

Step 3: Field Measurement

We measure every opening ourselves, including ceiling pockets, curved walls, and stack-back space, so panels are built to the room and not to the drawings.

Step 4: Fabrication

Panels cut, sewn, and finished from our San Francisco facility, with patterns matched and hems weighted before anything leaves the shop.

Step 5: Installation & Dressing

Tracks installed, motors programmed, and every panel hung and trained to fall in even folds. Scheduled after hours for hotels and restaurants.

Step 6: Care & Service

Cleaning, re-hemming, motor service, and repairs for the life of the drapery. We look after what we install.
