Some spaces call for more than beautiful drapery. They call for exceptional scale.
With its soaring ceiling and expansive wall of windows, this room presented the perfect opportunity for extremely long custom drapery panels. Extending from the ceiling all the way to the floor, the panels emphasize the dramatic height of the architecture while adding softness and balance to the room.
For an interior designer, specifying drapery at this scale is about much more than choosing a beautiful fabric.

The Longer the Drapery, the More the Details Matter
With exceptionally long panels, precision becomes increasingly important. Finished length must be carefully considered, fabric must be evaluated for the application, and every fabrication detail—from seams and pattern placement to pleats and hems—contributes to how the panels ultimately hang.
There is also simply more fabric to manage.
That is where an experienced custom workroom becomes an important partner. At Stevenson Vestal, our artisans are accustomed to working with extra-long drapery applications, carefully managing the scale and construction required to turn a designer’s specifications into a beautifully finished treatment.
The result in this room is dramatic without being overpowering. The long, uninterrupted vertical lines draw the eye upward, accentuate the ceiling height, and beautifully frame the architecture and outdoor view.
