Drapes by Design is run by an expert in textiles and window treatments.

Drapes By Design is owned and operated by Kartika Leng.  Kartika has spent her entire career working with textiles, ranging from women's fashion to manufacturing and soft furnishings. Her passion lies in creating beautiful, functional and stylish window treatments tailored to each client's individual preferences.
Kartika took over Drapes by Design in November 2023, but the business was well-established business with a strong 14-year history.
Today, we operate from an inviting showroom in Rotorua where customers from the Bay of Plenty and South Waikato can comfortably browse our extensive product range and discuss their requirements. Our small, dedicated team of three takes pride in offering personal, attentive service. As an independent local business, we understand and appreciate our community, focusing on building lasting relationships and providing trusted advice.
