Custom Window Treatments in Calabasas
Inland heat, two-story glass, and estates that expect a finish: drapery, shades, and motorization made to measure for Calabasas, installed free.
Calabasas is where the Valley's heat meets the Santa Monica Mountains, and the housing stock knows it: gated Mediterranean and Tuscan-style estates in The Oaks and Calabasas Park built around two-story foyer glass and arched windows, 1960s and 70s ranch houses in Mulwood and Calabasas Highlands with sliders on every exposure, and canyon and equestrian properties out toward Hidden Hills and Malibu Canyon where the west sun arrives with nothing in its way. Almost every job here begins with the same sentence: this room is too bright, and too hot, by three in the afternoon.
We sew in our LA workroom and install free across Calabasas, from Old Town on Calabasas Road out along Las Virgenes and Parkway Calabasas to the Mulholland Highway ridge. Every project starts with a free in-home measurement, fabric held up in your actual light, and a straight conversation about heat, glare, and how each room gets used.
Window treatments we make & install in Calabasas
Roller Shades
Clean, minimal, and endlessly versatile, from light-filtering to full blackout.
Roman Shades
Soft, structured folds in premium fabrics, including our signature Tulip fold.
Zebra Shades
Alternating sheer-and-solid bands that tune light and privacy in one pull, in standard or blackout.

Motorized shades are the Calabasas default: foyer and stairwell glass nobody can reach, west sliders that close on a schedule at two, and whole-house scenes that lower every shade before the Santa Anas start.
Every project also includes free in-home measurement, a free design consultation, professional installation, and repairs.
Window treatments built for Calabasas homes
Heat is the first client. Calabasas runs ten degrees hotter than the coast on an ordinary summer day and worse when the Santa Anas blow, so the west-facing glass over a pool deck is where we start. Solar roller shades cut glare and UV without erasing the view, light-filtering zebras manage the shifting afternoon light in family rooms, and lined or interlined drapery does honest work as insulation on the big sliders that open to the yard. Rooms that felt like a greenhouse in August routinely read several degrees cooler with fabric doing quiet work at the glass, and the air conditioning stops running all afternoon just to keep up. In January the same lining holds warmth in against the canyon cold, which surprises people who bought the drapery for summer.
The estates in The Oaks and Calabasas Park bring their own set of problems: foyer windows that run two stories, arched and Palladian tops over the dining room, and ceilings that put the rod eighteen feet up. That glass wants motorized rollers on a schedule and, where the room calls for softness, floor-to-ceiling drapery on a track with a motor that opens the whole wall at a touch. We plan the wiring with your electrician before drywall on new builds and use battery motors on finished homes, and we've learned to template arched windows in person rather than trust the plans, because the framer and the architect rarely agreed on the curve. Down the hill, the Mulwood and Highlands ranch houses are simpler and no less particular: clean recessed rollers, relaxed romans in the bedrooms, and drapery that hides the aluminum slider frames a remodel didn't get around to replacing.
A recent one, typical of the area: a Calabasas Park two-story with a west-facing great room, sixteen feet of slider to the pool, and a foyer window nobody had covered in twelve years. We ran solar rollers on the sliders, motorized and scheduled to drop at two, a ceiling-mounted track with ripple fold in a heavy oatmeal linen blend across the whole span, and a single motorized blackout roller in the foyer glass on the same remote. The room went from unusable on summer afternoons to the room they live in. Wind days add one more detail we plan for out here: dust. Fabrics on the sliders are chosen to vacuum clean, and rollers beat romans on the exposures that take the brunt of it.

Calabasas window treatment questions
Do you offer free measurement in Calabasas?
Yes, everywhere in the 91302 and 91301, gated communities included; give the gate our name and we'll be there on time. A specialist measures every window to the eighth of an inch, brings fabric to hold up in your actual light, and leaves a firm itemized quote with installation included. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing, and for two-story foyer glass it's the only reliable way to get the numbers right.
What actually helps with the heat in Calabasas?
Fabric at the glass, matched to the exposure. Solar roller shades on west and south windows cut glare and UV while keeping the view; light-filtering zebras handle the changing light in family rooms; and lined or interlined drapery adds real insulation on the big sliders, for summer heat and for the cold canyon nights in January. The measurement maps each room's exposure, so you get the right treatment per window rather than one answer for the whole house. Ask about solar fabric openness too: a 3 percent weave keeps the view and kills most of the glare, a 1 percent goes darker for a media room that faces the pool.
Can you cover two-story foyer windows and arched windows?
Yes, and it's steady work in The Oaks and Calabasas Park. Tall foyer glass gets motorized rollers or a motorized drapery track, installed from a lift, with wiring planned ahead where a build is still open and battery motors where it isn't. Arches get templated in person: a shaped shade that follows the curve, a fixed sheer in the arch with an operable treatment below, or drapery mounted high enough that the arch stays on show. We'll tell you at the measurement which one the room wants.
Do you do whole-house motorization with scenes and schedules?
Constantly. Somfy and Rollease Acmeda motors, grouped by room and exposure, with schedules that drop the west shades at two and open everything for the evening, plus a single away scene that lowers the whole house. Integration with Lutron and the major voice assistants is routine; tell us what the house already runs and we'll design around it. On a hillside lot with Santa Ana exposure, a schedule that closes the shades before the wind picks up is the feature owners end up using most.
How long does a Calabasas project take?
Four to six weeks door to door on average: the free measurement, about a week for swatches and the quote, three to four weeks of sewing in our LA workroom, then a scheduled installation. Motorized and two-story work adds a day of planning up front, not weeks at the end. If a move-in date or the start of summer is driving the timeline, say so at the measurement and we'll be straight about what's achievable.
