Custom Drapery Cost Calculator (Los Angeles)
Custom drapery in Los Angeles typically runs $600 to $1,300 per window installed, and the biggest cost driver is the finished fabric width you need, which is your window width multiplied by the fullness you choose. This calculator estimates your total from five inputs: number of windows, window width, fabric tier, fullness, and lining.

What drives custom drapery cost in Los Angeles
Fabric quantity is the single largest line item, because fuller drapery needs more yardage: a window at 3.0x fullness uses 50 percent more fabric than the same window at 2.0x. After fabric, the cost order is usually lining, fabrication labor, then hardware. Use the list below to see how each choice moves your estimate.
- Window width and fullness set your fabric yardage, the biggest driver.
- Fabric tier changes the per-yard rate two to four times over.
- Lining adds cost but improves light control, insulation, and drape (blackout and interlined cost the most).
- Hardware (rod or track) is bundled here; motorized tracks are priced on the motorized shades tool.
- Window count multiplies everything, though per-window labor efficiency is why larger projects feel better per unit.
How to use this estimate
Treat the range as a planning number, not a quote: the low end assumes standard mounting and in-stock fabric, the high end covers specialty fabrics, tricky mounts, and add-ons found on site. Measure each window at its widest point and count every opening you want covered, including sliders and French doors. When your range looks right, book a free in-home consultation so we can confirm measurements, drape, and hardware before pricing.
