Custom Drapery for Locust Valley homes
The Gold Coast houses of Locust Valley, Matinecock, and Lattingtown have windows that were made before standard sizes existed: diamond-paned leaded glass, arched transoms, and casements that swing into the room. Drapery is the treatment that works with all of that, because a panel hung wide and high on a proper rod frames the shape without touching 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 Locust Valley homes choose our drapery
Inward-swinging casements
Rods set on extended brackets so the panels stack clear of the sash and the casement opens without catching fabric.
Arched transoms
Panels hung above the arch, or a custom-shaped cornice built to follow it, so the original glass stays the focal point.
Period-appropriate hardware
Aged brass and iron rods with finials that belong on a 1920s estate rather than a catalog page.

Questions
Drapery in Locust Valley, answered
We template the opening by hand, then mount the rod high and on brackets that project past the sash. Open, the panels sit entirely on the wall so the leaded glass is fully visible and the casement swings free. Closed, they meet in the center with a proper overlap. Nothing is trimmed to fit after the fact.
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.
