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.

We moved into a new build house a few weeks ago and shopped around for window treatments. We knew we wanted Norman shutters as we had an excellent experience with them in another home. After calling around we found 2 companies in our area who could accommodate us. They each came to our home within a few days. We requested they bring samples as we wanted to be sure the product hadn’t changed over the few years since we last purchased them. Brad, owner of Made in the Shade, arrived with samples and a breadth of knowledge. He showed us configurations we hadn’t thought about which made more sense for this style house. He explained that as owner he would be with us every step of the way from measuring through installation of the shutters. No extra appointments dealing with middlemen. Today was the day and we couldn’t be happier! Brad and his team did an OUTSTANDING job installing our new shutters! They were on time, were respectful of our home by wearing shoe covers, were polite and worked diligently and efficiently. They estimated 4 hours to install 24 shutters and they were done in that time frame! Why did Made in the Shade win the job? Brad knows his products, he came to the initial meeting prepared and he was with us every step of the way! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Made in the Shade to anyone looking for a way to turn their house into a home! Thank you Brad, Matt and Nolan! It was a pleasure working with you on this project! Response from the owner: Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and kind review! It was truly a pleasure helping you design and install your new Norman shutters. I’m so glad everything worked well for your new home, and that you’re pleased with the results. We take a lot of pride in making sure every project runs smoothly from start to finish, and your feedback means the world to us. Enjoy your beautiful new shutters, and thank you again for choosing Made in the Shade!  Read this review and more like it on our Google Business Profile.

Our windows look so amazing. We couldn't have picked a better company to go with. Nolan and Matt were awesome and so professional. They were precise and very careful while installing our blinds. I have never been more pleased with someone doing work in our home than I was today. If I ever need them again I'll will definitely be requesting Nolan and Matt. Thank you for being willing to do our shades and blinds. Carolyn bought many samples for us to look at she helped us decide the perfect privacy shades . She went above and beyond by providing us temporary shades . To ensure we had privacy while waiting for our order to be placed . Carolyn you are definitely a blessing, keep doing what you are doing, and this company will go far. We truly appreciate all your hard work to make our home beautiful. We are forever grateful for Made in The Shade. Thank you, The Pugh's Response from the owner: Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful review!
