Merrill Y. Landis is known for custom draperies, but the work doesn’t stop at the window. Our Specialty Department creates custom soft goods and finishing pieces that extend a design throughout the entire space.
Pillows, seat cushions, upholstered headboards, and cornice boards all become part of a cohesive design story—each one fabricated to match the intent, scale, and detail of the project. Specialty fabrication also brings added dimension to window treatments themselves with custom trims, layered details, and refined finishing techniques that elevate both form and function.
Accessories That Complete the Room
Our Specialty Department creates accessories that allow you to extend fabrics, textures, and finishes through an entire space. Each piece is fabricated to align with the design intent, scale, and detailing of the overall project.
Pillows
Custom pillows allow fabrics introduced at the window to reappear across seating and bedding, reinforcing a cohesive design language.
Seat Cushions
Tailored seat cushions are fabricated for built-ins, banquettes, and speciality furniture applications. Each cushion is made to fit properly while maintaining clean lines, comfort, and fabric continuity with the surrounding design.
Upholstered Headboards
A custom upholstered headboard creates a strong focal point in the bedroom while allowing full control over shape, scale, and fabric selection. Headboards are often coordinated with drapery or bedding for a cohesive, finished look.
Cornice Boards
Cornice boards provide a structured, architectural finish at the window. Fabric-wrapped and custom sized, they frame the treatment and add a clean, tailored layer to the overall design.
Elevating Window Treatments
We also elevate custom window treatments through specialized fabrication techniques and finishing work that add dimension, structure, and refinement to each design. Below are a few examples of recent custom applications.
Multiple Strap Up Valance
A soft spring-print fabric was used to create this dimensional strap-up valance, adding structure while maintaining a light, decorative feel. The tailored straps and layered construction introduce movement and interest, elevating the treatment into a fully custom window feature.
Lattice Trim
Black lattice trim was sewn along the leading edge of drapery panels for a bold finish. Our experienced workroom team carefully stitched around all of the latticework. The result is stunning!
Relaxed Roman Shade with Fan Tails and Pleats
Roman shades can be enhanced with custom trims, pleats, and fabric treatments that introduce softness, texture, and visual interest. For this project, a very unique feather-patterned fabric was used throughout the shade, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
Top Down Bottom Up Roman Shade
This design features a unique fabric selection that brings bold pattern and visual interest to a highly functional shade system, balancing privacy control with strong aesthetic impact.

Our Specialty Department is here to help interior designers extend their vision beyond the window with custom fabrication that is precise, thoughtful, and fully integrated into the room. Whether you are layering in soft goods or refining a signature window treatment detail, we help bring consistency, craftsmanship, and clarity to every project from start to finish.
