Types of Custom Shades

We offer many custom window shade styles so that you can find stylish yet practical ones for your home’s needs. Our selection includes:

Sheer Shades

Sheer fabric filters sunlight and protects your home’s interior and belongings from ultraviolet (UV), so you can enjoy light and privacy without glare. The soft, diffused light creates a warm, inviting feeling and allows excellent view-through.

Sheer shades can soften the appearance of a room while providing extraordinary light control.

Woven Shades

Artisans create woven shades, also called natural shades. These shades comprise natural materials like bamboo, jute, and wood, creating uniquely beautiful shades. Natural shades filter sunlight and effortlessly pull in texture to a room.

Roller and Solar Shades

Roller window shades are easy to operate and ideal for minimalist decor. When mounted inside the window frame, they have minor light gaps and nearly disappear when fully raised.
