Specialist Shading for Architects & Interior Designers in London
For architects & interior designers · London
Window treatments are easiest to get right
when they are designed into the project.
Specialist support for architects, interior designers and contractors, from first drawings to handover.
KOZA works with architects, interior designers and contractors across London as the specialist for curtains, blinds and motorised shading. We take the brief from concept to installation: design advice, technical specification, coordination with the project team, bespoke making in our own London workroom, and installation by our own team.
KOZA is a family-run company, established in 2005. Our Shoreditch showroom is open to you and your clients by appointment.
Memberships and approvals
When to involve us
The earlier, the better
These decisions are simple on a drawing and costly on site. Early involvement lets us confirm them while walls and ceilings are still open.
Decide early
- Recess pockets and concealed headboxes
- Ceiling and pelmet details
- Power and cable routes for motorised systems
- Access for installation and future maintenance
- Fixing positions on large or unusual glazing
What we need from you
To advise and prepare an initial estimate
We work from the information you already have. If some of it is not yet decided, we can help you decide it.
Helpful to have
- Plans, elevations and a window schedule
- The project programme
- The shading requirement for each room: dim-out, blackout, glare or solar control
- Ceiling and recess details, and whether they are fixed
- Any motorisation, and the control system it will connect to
- Any fabric or system already specified
The earlier we talk,
the more we can build in.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you work from drawings?
Yes. We can advise and prepare an initial estimate from plans, elevations and a window schedule. The final specification is confirmed after a site survey.
At what stage should a shading specialist be involved?
Before ceiling, recess and electrical details are fixed, so that pockets, headboxes, power and cable routes can be built in.
Do you coordinate with our contractor, electrician and AV integrator?
Yes. KOZA joins the project team as the specialist shading consultant and coordinates directly with each of them.
Do you make the curtains yourselves?
Yes. Curtains and soft furnishings are made by hand in our own London workroom.
Which motorised systems do you specify?
We specify Silent Gliss and Somfy motorised tracks and blinds, and coordinate with the AV integrator so they connect to the home or building control system.
Do you work on commercial projects as well as homes?
Yes. Alongside private homes, we have delivered offices, showrooms, a restaurant and a company headquarters across London.
Can we see systems working before we specify?
Yes. Our Shoreditch showroom includes motorised system demonstrations, and visits are by appointment for you and your clients.
