Custom window treatments in Pacific Palisades.

Pacific Palisades, California

Window treatments suited to Pacific Palisades homes.

From the Riviera and the Huntington to Castellammare and the Highlands, the houses of Pacific Palisades are oriented to the ocean and the canyons. The light is brilliant, the western exposure is long, and the windows are generous.

Solar shades are the usual first layer, chosen in a weave open enough to keep the horizon and tight enough to cut the glare off the water. Linen sheers and ripple fold drapery soften the glass and give privacy in the evening, and bedrooms are best served by a concealed room darkening shade. Fabrics and hardware are selected with the salt air in mind.

Many families in the Palisades are rebuilding, and a new house offers the chance to plan the windows properly from the first drawing. Power can be brought to every opening and pockets framed into the ceilings, so that motorized shades disappear entirely when raised. We are glad to work with your architect, builder and designer from the earliest stage, and to advise on security shades where additional protection is wanted.
