Custom Drapes - Scarsdale, NY

Some rooms ask for softness. Others ask for presence. This formal living room in Scarsdale, New York, asked for both.

For this installation, we created custom drapes using Bayview Delight, a gold-tone, silk-like fabric with a warm sheen and elegant movement. The fabric brings a refined glow to the room, complementing the traditional architecture, hardwood floors, carved moldings, and classic furnishings. It has the richness of silk without feeling overly delicate, making it a beautiful choice for a formal living space that is still used and enjoyed.

What makes these drapes especially distinctive is the black trim. The contrast adds definition and drama, outlining the panels in a way that feels tailored and intentional. In a room with tall windows, arched details, and layered décor, the trim helps the drapes stand out without overwhelming the space. It gives the treatment a more custom, designer look.

Behind the main drapery panels, custom sheers provide an important practical layer. They soften the daylight, reduce glare, and offer daytime privacy while still allowing natural light to filter into the room. This is especially helpful for street-facing or neighboring homes, where homeowners want privacy without closing the room off completely.

The drapes were installed on brass designer rods with rings, which add another elegant detail. The brass finish works beautifully with the warm gold fabric, while the rings allow the drapes to move easily and hang with a relaxed flow. The hardware becomes part of the design rather than just a functional element.

This project shows how custom window treatments can transform a formal living room. The combination of gold silk-like fabric, black trim, sheers, and brass hardware creates a layered look that feels classic, warm, and luxurious.

For homeowners in Scarsdale and throughout Westchester, custom drapes are not only about covering windows.
