Our Story

Forty years of dressing the windows of Los Angeles.

A working drapery workroom in the Downtown LA Fashion District, run by people who would rather tell you the truth than make the sale.

Walk in, and there are hundreds of rolls against the walls.

Designer’s Choice Drapery has spent more than four decades doing one thing well: custom drapery and soft furnishings, made by hand. While many downtown stores sell only synthetics, our walls hold silk, linen, cotton, and velvet, alongside designer prints and remnant rolls sourced from high-end, well-known Las Vegas hotels, textiles you simply cannot find elsewhere.

Customers describe the result as magazine quality, royal and regal, the kind of drapery that makes a room look like a luxury hotel. And they tell us they saved about a third versus the Beverly Hills studios. That is the whole idea.

The People

Shawn

Owner & Design Consultant

The voice behind the phone and the eye behind every project. Shawn has spent more than four decades helping homeowners and designers choose the right fabric and the right design, and he tells you the truth about what will and will not work before a single yard is cut.

Karmel

Measurement & Installation

Karmel and his crew handle in-home measurement and installation, communicate every date and time clearly, and stand behind the work, including re-hemming once the fabric has had time to relax on the rod.

Honesty first

Shawn will tell you clearly what will and will not work before a yard is cut. No upsell, no fuss.

Real craftsmanship

Measured on site, fabricated in our workroom, installed and re-hemmed once the fabric relaxes.

Honest value

A working DTLA workroom, not a Westside showroom. You pay for fabric and skill, not an address.

Bring your windows to life.

Call Shawn with your measurements for a fast estimate, or visit the Downtown showroom and walk the fabric wall in person.
