A shade and curtain storage and deployment system includes a shade assembly, a curtain assembly, and an access panel, each disposed within a recess formed in a ceiling. A visible surface of the access panel occupies the same plane as a visible surface of the ceiling. The curtain assembly includes a track having a plurality of hangers configured to translate on the track and support a curtain. A first gap provided between a first edge of the access panel and the ceiling is configured to enable a shade of the shade assembly to extend from the recess to an area below the ceiling. A second gap provided between a second edge of the access panel and the ceiling is configured to enable the curtain to extend along the second edge. The track extends along the second edge and is disposed entirely above the plane.
