Custom window treatments in Holmby Hills.

Holmby Hills, California

Window treatments suited to Holmby Hills homes.

Holmby Hills is the quietest corner of the Platinum Triangle, a small district of large estates set well back from Sunset Boulevard, Carolwood Drive and Mapleton Drive. The rooms are formal and tall, and the windows are scaled to match.

Drapery for rooms of this size is a matter of proportion. Panels need true fullness, interlining for body and a heading that holds its shape across a long drop, with hardware made to the scale of the architecture. We often pair such drapery with sheers for the day and with motorized shades concealed in the ceiling, so that the sun can be managed without the drapery being drawn.

Houses of this kind commonly hold fine art, antique rugs and silk upholstery, all of which suffer in strong light. Protecting them is part of every scheme we prepare, through linings, solar fabrics and schedules that lower the shades before the sun arrives.
