Window treatments for New York’s most demanding buildings
NYC Drapery & Shades is the window-treatment practice of Rafael Interiors, a third-generation family business in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. We measure, fabricate and install custom drapery, Roman and roller shades and motorized systems for homeowners, interior designers, architects, developers and hospitality teams.
The properties below include landmark towers, Park and Fifth Avenue cooperatives, downtown lofts, hotels and event venues.
The addresses here are a selection. The larger part of our work is in homes we keep private.
Featured property
432 Park Avenue
Rafael Viñoly’s slender tower on Park Avenue at 57th Street, among the tallest residential buildings in the Western Hemisphere. Custom window treatments for a residence, planned around full-height windows and the building’s installation requirements.

Discretion
Private Clients. Quiet Work.
The properties on this page are a selection: the addresses our clients and partners are comfortable seeing in print. Many of our most meaningful commissions are in private homes whose owners prefer them unnamed, and we keep it that way.
Discretion has been part of how we work since 1987 — from the first measure to the last installation visit.

The work behind these addresses
Questions
Working in your building
Do you work in co-ops and condominiums with strict alteration rules?
Yes. We provide certificates of insurance and scope documents to the managing agent, and schedule measuring and installation to the building's rules and service-elevator hours.
Can you work from my designer's or architect's specification?
Yes. Much of our work is fabricated to designer and architect specifications, including client-supplied fabric and hardware.
Why isn't every project listed?
Many of our clients prefer their homes to stay private. The properties shown are a selection we are able to reference; private residences are identified by building only, never by owner or apartment.
