Custom window treatments in Hancock Park.

Hancock Park, California

Window treatments suited to Hancock Park homes.

Hancock Park and neighboring Windsor Square hold some of the best preserved houses of the 1920s in Los Angeles: Tudor, English, Mediterranean and Georgian revival homes on broad lawns, with leaded glass, steel casement windows and plaster walls of real character.

Windows of this quality deserve treatments that do not compete with them. We favor lined drapery on iron or wood rods hung high and wide, so the panels stack clear of the glass, and Roman shades set neatly inside the frame where the casings should remain in view. Shutters suit the street facing rooms, giving privacy while the house keeps a composed face to the neighborhood.

Because these are historic streets, the appearance from outside matters. Neutral linings give every window the same quiet look from the pavement, whatever the fabric within. For casements that open inward or carry prominent handles, we measure with particular care so that each treatment clears the hardware.
