Custom Drapery in Garden City, NY
Panels, valances, and cornices sewn in our own Long Island workroom and hung to the ceiling, not the window.
Local Custom Drapery
Custom Drapery for Garden City homes
Garden City's Estates Section and Central Section were built with the tall, formal proportions that drapery was designed for. We hang lined and interlined panels to the ceiling on these Tudor and Italianate rooms so the window reads as tall as the architecture intended, and we template the leaded and divided-light sashes so the panels clear the trim without hiding it.
Drapery is the treatment that finishes a room. A pair of lined panels hung high and wide softens the hard edges of the architecture, quiets a room with tall ceilings, and frames the window instead of covering it. Homestead has sewn drapery in its own Long Island workroom since 1977, which means the header style, the lining, the length, and the hardware are all decided by the person who measured your window rather than by a catalog.
Three details separate drapery that reads as architecture from drapery that reads as fabric. The rod goes near the ceiling so the panels lengthen the wall. A weighted hem then keeps those long pleats hanging straight through years of opening and closing. Lining, and on formal rooms interlining, is what lets the panel hold that shape while blocking the light it was chosen to block.

Why It Fits Here
Why Garden City homes choose our drapery
Tudor Revival proportions
Ceilings run nine to ten feet in the Estates Section, which calls for panels cut long and interlined so they hang with weight rather than flutter.
Divided-light windows
We set the rod wide of the casing so the leaded glass stays fully visible when the panels are open.
Dining rooms on Stewart Avenue
Formal dining rooms here take a pinch-pleat pair over a cornice, sewn in our workroom to match the room's trim profile.

Questions
Drapery in Garden City, answered
A pinch-pleat or goblet header on a lined, interlined panel, hung from a rod set just below the ceiling. The weight and the tailored header suit the dark trim and plaster walls of these houses. Grommet and rod-pocket headers read too casual in a Tudor front room, and we steer clients away from them there.
Fabric, window size, and lining drive the price, which is why we quote every window individually. The consultation is free and the estimate is itemized line by line, so you see the fabric cost, the workroom cost, and the hardware before anything is cut.
Yes, for a finished room. We hem panels to kiss the floor or break a half inch onto it, depending on the fabric and the look you want. Sill-length panels belong over a radiator or a kitchen counter, and nowhere else.
That is how most of our rooms are built. A solar or cellular shade handles the daily light control, and the drapery does the framing and the evening privacy. We design both in the same visit so the colors, the stack, and the hardware are planned together.
