Custom window treatments in Manhattan
Custom drapery, roller shades, and motorized systems for Manhattan penthouses, prewar classics, and new glass towers.
Manhattan windows rarely behave. Floor-to-ceiling glass in Hudson Yards and Billionaires’ Row towers takes full western sun and city glow all night; prewar apartments on the Upper East and Upper West Side have deep casings, radiators below the sill, and plaster that hides nothing.
We measure every opening in person and design around what the building allows: recessed pockets for roller shades where the ceiling permits, ripple-fold drapery on ceiling track where it does not, and blackout that actually seals the edges on a bedroom facing Broadway.
Building rules matter here. We coordinate certificates of insurance, freight elevator bookings, and work hours with your managing agent so installation day is quiet.
The collections
What we make for Manhattan homes
Drapery
Floor-to-ceiling runs, ripple-fold sheers, relaxed stacks, and puddled linen. Fabric cut to the architecture, from double-height rooms to French doors.
Roller shades
Clean lines that disappear into the frame when retracted. Solar weaves for glare and heat, blackout for true dark, uniform runs across every opening.
Roman shades
Custom-tailored folds in linen blends and muted palettes. Light filtering to blackout, chosen to sit naturally against wood, stone, and wallcoverings.
Motorization
Quiet automated control across drapery and shades. Precise, programmable, and invisible until it moves.
Questions
Questions from Manhattan
Do you work with co-op and condo building requirements in Manhattan?
Yes. We provide certificates of insurance to the managing agent, book freight elevators, and schedule installation within the building’s permitted work hours.
Can motorized shades be added to an existing Manhattan apartment without opening walls?
Usually. Rechargeable battery motors and low-voltage options let us motorize most windows without new wiring. Where a renovation is underway, we coordinate hardwired motors with your electrician.
What works best for floor-to-ceiling glass in a high-rise?
Solar roller shades for daytime glare and heat, paired with blackout or ripple-fold sheer drapery for evening. The right openness factor depends on exposure, which we assess on site.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. A designer visits your home in Manhattan, measures, brings fabric and system samples, and prepares a proposal. There is no charge and no obligation.
