Hi, Welcome to the Drapery Design Designer Newsletter! In our series of blogs and newsletters we share information that designers will find helpful when working with the high end client on new construction or remodel projects.
We have years of experience working with top architects, designers, and builders on incredible projects that demand the best of everything. The window treatments and fabric accessories should also uphold the high quality standards and artisan workmanship that are created throughout the home by all the trades. If you are a designer that works in magnificent homes with attention given to every detail, this newsletter is for you!
All the Best!

The Ripplebox Pleat Drapery
We love the clean Ripplefold drapery look, but some things about the way it is configured creates limitations. After experimentation, we found an alternative to ripplefold draperies!It is a hybrid pleat combining an inverted box pleat and a ripplefold pleat, which we named the Ripplebox pleat.
