Custom window treatments in Studio City.

Studio City, California

Window treatments suited to Studio City homes.

Studio City sits where the Santa Monica Mountains meet the San Fernando Valley. South of Ventura Boulevard the streets wind up into Fryman Canyon and the hills, where houses look north across the valley; on the flats, Colfax Meadows and its neighbors are known for traditional homes and newer farmhouse style houses on leafy streets.

The valley runs noticeably warmer than the Westside in summer, so control of heat is the first consideration. Solar shades reduce heat and glare at the large sliding doors that open to the garden and pool, and lined drapery adds a further layer of insulation. Shutters are a long standing favorite in the traditional houses and wear well in family rooms.

Many of our Studio City clients work in film and television and keep irregular hours. For them we plan bedrooms that can be made properly dark at midday, with room darkening shades in side channels and drapery that overlaps the window on every side.
