How a project works

From first measure to final dressing

  1. ConsultationWe meet at your home or your design studio to talk through the rooms, the fabric and how each window is used.
  2. Measure & specifyPrecise site measurements, mount and hardware decisions, then a written spec for every piece.
  3. Quote & depositAn itemized quote with yardage. A deposit confirms the order and releases fabric purchasing.
  4. ProductionEach piece is produced by a trusted, experienced workroom to our detailed specification. We oversee quality and keep you updated from fabric arrival to finish.
  5. InstallWe hang, steam and dress every treatment so it's photo-ready on reveal day.
