Drape & Dwell is two things at once: a family trade passed down, and a business we chose to build around it.
Tailoring has always been in the family — it's something we were taught growing up, the way some families teach cooking or carpentry. Some of us stayed in the trade over the years, others went off into different businesses entirely.
Four years ago, we decided to bring it back together and start Drape & Dwell — something that would keep us busy, and something we could hand on to the next generation, the same way it was handed to us.
Rather than stretch across venetians, shutters and verticals, we've built the business around the two window dressings where fabric, fit and finish matter most — then added the pelmets, cushions and throws that finish a room once the windows are sorted.
We cover all of London and Surrey and the surrounding areas — and for the right project, we'll travel further. Our workshop itself is by appointment only.
Whether the measurements come from us or from you, every curtain and Roman blind is made to the actual dimensions of your window.
Everything is made in-house, by the same small team — not outsourced to whoever's free.
Every order, bespoke or made to measure, is backed by our guarantee.
