Today With Debbie Hall and Trent Hall:

Hi! In this episode of Window Treatments for Profit, Jessica Harling is back with the Bound by Business series. This week, Jessica sits down with Debbie and Trent Hall, a mother-son duo from Designer Draperies, a full-service custom window treatment and soft goods design firm. Listen in as Debbie and Trent discuss with Jessica their core values of leading with respect, kindness, and having a two-way street with trust. They even bring Jessica to tears at one point with their sweetness.

More About Debbie Hall and Trent Hall

Nearly thirty years ago, Debbie Hall established Designer Draperies, with a focus on delivering unmatched commitment and fostering enduring client connections. With a diverse background spanning formal textile education, tenure in the garment sector, and extensive experiences across Europe and Asia, she possesses a rich history and deep industry expertise. This wide-ranging journey has enabled Debbie to seamlessly couple her years of experience with profound insights into colors, fabrics, and various materials, culminating in the creation of exceptional, bespoke window treatments, custom bedding, and accessories.

Debbie acquired a business in 2022, Window Alternatives LTD, expanding her reach beyond the residential market and delivering high quality window treatments to commercial businesses. With the creation of this business came new challenges that required Debbie to employ an innovative approach as she continued to explore this new corner of the market.

In early 2022, Trent, Debbie’s middle son, formally joined the business, providing a fresh perspective and helping hand as Debbie continued down the next leg of her journey. Trent graduated from Rutgers-Camden University in 2020 with a degree in marketing. Having grown up in and around the business, Trent brought an intimate knowledge of the business and fresh perspective to bear. Upon graduating college amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Trent has continued to play an integral role in helping to grow and scale the business alongside his mother, Debbie.
