The story behind Coudre

Designed by someone who's dressed thousands of windows.

Paula Daher, founder of Coudre

Paula Daher — founder, Coudre

Paula Daher's career in design began not in a studio, but at home. While raising her young children, she started handmaking curtains for friends and neighbors — measuring windows, selecting fabrics, stitching panels by hand. What began as a way to stay creative during those early years quietly became her calling. Word spread. Clients followed. And a career was born.

It always started with the windows. Get those right, and the whole room follows.

Over the next three decades, Paula built Daher Interior Design into one of New England's most celebrated firms — creating interiors for coastal retreats, Back Bay brownstones, and high-rise penthouses. She was inducted into the New England Design Hall of Fame, named ASID New England Designer of the Year, recognized as Best of Boston's top traditional interior designer three times over, and awarded Best Firm of the Year by Modern Luxury — twice.

Through every project, the window treatment remained her signature — and the one thing the broader industry kept making harder than it needed to be. Confusing sizing charts. Fabrics that only came in standard lengths. Paula watched the category leave consumers without a simple solution, and knew there had to be a better way.

Coudre is Paula's answer to that problem, shaped by forty years of experience, starting with a needle and thread at her kitchen table. A curtain system built with the same intention she brings to every space she designs: thoughtful proportions, beautiful fabrics, and a sizing system that eliminates every point of friction. You measure your window. We figure out the fit. You hang them in minutes.
