In elevated interiors, the right drapery is never just decorative—it’s dimensional, directional, and undeniably transformative. When thoughtfully executed, it softens architectural lines, frames the view, and delivers that signature finish that defines luxury. But behind every perfect panel is a refined partnership and a process built for trust.
At Rideaux Designs, we specialize in custom window treatments exclusively for the trade. We speak the language of design professionals—translating vision into flawlessly fabricated drapery, from first sketch to final steam.
Here’s what you can expect when you trust Rideaux Designs with your project:
Creative Visioning: Designer-Led, Expert-Supported
Whether you arrive with renderings or a fabric swatch and a dream, we help refine every detail. We guide selections with intention, balancing aesthetics with performance.
Pleat styles, lining, and proportion
Trim options and hardware integration
Mounting decisions and fullness ratios
Technical considerations like stack-back and light filtration
We anticipate the nuances so your finished piece is as functional as it is beautiful.
Measurements That Matter
Need help on-site? Our precision measuring accounts for everything:
Architectural variances and obstructions
Ceilings, floors, and frame alignments
Clearance for hardware and operation
Privacy, light control, and insulation preferences
Already measured? We’ll confirm details for fabrication integrity—no guesswork.
Clear Scope & Quote
Once design specs and measurements are approved, we provide a comprehensive quote that outlines:
Labor and fabrication
Materials, lining, and hardware
Production timelines and delivery expectations
Your work order becomes our blueprint. Every detail is documented—no assumptions.
Expert Fabrication
This is where craftsmanship takes center stage. Our fabrication process is meticulous, driven by artisans who understand construction and couture.
Tailored pleats and elegant hems
Invisible hand-finishing
Impeccable stitch quality
Pattern matching and symmetry
Every panel receives individual attention—from layout to final thread.
Inspection & Presentation
Each panel is steamed, inspected, and folded for pristine arrival. Panels are labeled, packaged with hardware, and installation-ready. We’ve considered the installer’s workflow so your reveal goes flawlessly.
Installation Support
Whether our team installs or coordinates with yours, we ensure the final presentation reflects your design intent:
Hanging guidance and steaming (if scoped)
On-site support or virtual collaboration
Adjustments and assurance for perfect draperies
Your window treatments should never just “hang.” They should tell the story of your space.
