White’s Draperies: Unique Custom Creations for Your Home

Since 1975, Kevin White has carried on his father’s legacy by running the family business

Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate local men in business who have built an enduring legacy in the Orange County community.

In 1975, Kevin White devoted himself full-time to the family business, White’s Draperies, which his father had founded.

Since its inception in 1950, the family-owned company has continued to flourish with Kevin at the helm.

Alongside his mother, Phyllis, son, Kevin White, and longtime employee Marsha Bates, Kevin carries on his father’s vision. 

The tight-knit team is committed to enhancing the homes of every client who walks through their showroom doors, offering a diverse selection of premium products crafted from the finest materials.


“We sell all types of window coverings–blinds, shades, shutters, draperies, sheers, valances, bedspreads, pillows, and light upholstery. We also offer motorization of all these products,” he says.  

White's Draperies offers a premium selection of window coverings, featuring top brands like Hunter Douglas and Sundance.

For fabric enthusiasts, they showcase a curated collection from designer brands including Alendel, Carole, Catania Silks, Fabricut, Kasmir, Mitchell Fabrics, and Trend.

Whatever you're envisioning, White's Draperies has it–or they can bring it to life. 

“If you can imagine it, we can help create it! From headboards to bed linens to pillows and tablecloths, we can create custom home décor to achieve the desired look.”

In addition to their wide range of high-quality products, Kevin and his team are dedicated to helping customers make informed decisions that align with their home, vision, and budget every step of the way.

“We try to fully inform our customers about their purchases, including both the good and the bad characteristics of each product,” he says.

“Our team at Whites Draperies & More carefully reviews what the client’s goals and expectations are for their choice of product. This ensures our clients will get the best value for their dollar.”

Operating a successful, long-lasting local business requires complete commitment—and presents a unique set of challenges.

“Being self-employed, you have many different ‘bosses’ each month. You must maintain a positive attitude during the difficult times.”

To ensure their customers make the best choices for their needs, White’s Draperies offers complimentary in-home estimates, consultations, and expert design guidance.

They also provide exclusive pricing specials and offer 12 months of interest-free financing for their customers’ convenience.

This thoughtful, hands-on approach to customer service ensures that every client receives a beautifully tailored finished product that perfectly correlates with their style, needs, and vision for every home project.

Looking ahead, White’s Draperies is committed to continuing its tradition of exceeding customer expectations, consistently offering exceptional value and high-quality products that ensure every dollar spent is well worth the investment.

“Be sure that you are getting the quality you want–not just the cheapest thing you can buy! Every job has different levels of quality. Be honest with yourself about the quality and value you are getting.”
