Custom Window Treatments for Every Style

Choosing the best window treatment is essential in showcasing your unique style. Our solutions for all types of windows will blend seamlessly with your overall interior design. Window treatments improve the look of your space and provide privacy, control light, and save on energy efficiency. We carefully craft each custom treatment to your specific measurements and desired decorative and functional features, including motorization options.

Shades

Custom shades can enhance any room in the home, from bedrooms to media rooms. Choose from a wide selection of roller shades, cellular shades, sheer shades, natural shades, and fabric roman shades. These come in hundreds of fashion-forward materials, colors, textures, and styles. Window shades are not only beautiful, but also functional with cordless lift and child safety options!

Shutters

Custom shutters install like fine furniture for your windows and become a permanent fixture of the home. Beyond their beautiful appearance, you’ll have complete control of balancing natural light and privacy. Plantation shutters can have a significant impact on the look of a room. The warmth of wood or the brightness of a composite material can make a statement in your space.

Blinds

Our custom window blinds collections range from horizontal wood or faux wood, or vertical blinds. Custom blinds come in different sizes and colors, letting you match them to your home’s style. You can easily adjust the light and privacy by raising or tilting the slats with just your hand.

Outdoor Shades

Many people consider modern outdoor living just as important as the interior of the home. We offer many product solutions for outdoor shades. They are easy to clean, mitigate harmful UV rays, regulate temperature, and even protect your space from insects. Reduce glare on your patio or living room to keep your beautiful view outside!

Drapery

Bring in your personal touch with custom window drapes allowing you to instantly complement the style and decor of your home. Soft treatments come in many textures, patterns, and colors. For both small windows and large windows, drapery is a simple choice to improve the atmosphere in your home.
