Service details

Execution details designers can rely on.

01

Hand-finished detail

Pleats, seams, hems, returns, and linings handled with disciplined craftsmanship.
02

Designer workflow

Fabrication support that integrates into your specification and client process.
03

Installation aware

Treatments are built with hardware, wall conditions, and installation realities in mind.
04

Florida expertise

Experience with coastal light, humidity, scale, and estate-level expectations.
Custom drapery specification support

Drapery decisions are made before fabrication, not corrected after install.

For designer-led drapery projects, FDO helps clarify fullness, lining, hardware, headings, returns, stack, light control, and installation conditions before the treatment is released to the workroom.

Complete the room with custom pillows and lampshades coordinated with your drapery. Suitable remaining project fabric can be considered after reviewing quantity, pattern, and suitability.

Still developing the scope? Discuss a Project with the workroom before the treatment schedule is finalized.

01

In-house fabrication

Custom drapery is fabricated in our Vero Beach workroom. Our team brings more than 45 years of combined experience, including one team member with more than 30 years of experience. That experience informs pleats, seams, hems, returns, linings, trims, and specialty details.

02

Pattern and finish control

Pattern repeats, seam placement, heading alignment, trim placement, and finishing details are reviewed against the approved specification before the treatment leaves the workroom.
03

Measurement and installation

FDO can perform measurement and installation directly or coordinate those responsibilities according to the project and approved scope, while protecting the designer-client relationship.

Custom drapery questions

What should be resolved before drapery fabrication begins?

The heading, fullness, finished dimensions, lining, hardware, returns, stack, and mounting conditions should be reviewed together. FDO helps clarify these details against the designer’s intended proportions, privacy needs, and finished appearance before fabrication.

Can you coordinate decorative drapery with functional shades?

Yes. We can review drapery alongside shades and other hard treatments as a coordinated window package. The review considers light control, privacy, hardware, clearances, and installation conditions. Where motorization is needed, power and controls are included in the planning conversation.

How do you handle pattern matching and finishing?

Pattern repeats, seam placement, heading alignment, trims, and finishing details are reviewed against the approved specification before the treatment leaves our workroom. Share particular pattern-placement priorities with the design direction so they can be considered from the start.

Can remaining drapery fabric be used for pillows or lampshades?

Potentially. Suitable remaining fabric can be considered for custom pillows or custom lampshades, subject to usable quantity, condition, pattern repeat, and the intended piece. Include these items in the original scope where possible so the room’s textiles can be planned together.
