Three windows. One continuous line of control.
Tailored valances paired with top-tacked drapery create a consistent architectural frame across the room—each window aligned in height, proportion, and pattern.
In the workroom, this requires disciplined planning: pattern placement carried across all three openings, pleats top-tacked for uniform fold structure, and valance curves engineered so the pattern reads cleanly without interruption.
For interior designers, that level of control means the installation holds together visually—no shifting lines, no competing elements—just a clear translation of the design intent. After installation, designer Sandra Long shared, “Everything looks very nice”—a result that comes from careful planning, precise pattern alignment, and disciplined fabrication in the workroom.
