Custom Window Shades & Blinds
Custom blinds and shades can add beauty and practicality to any window. They are the most popular choice for light control and privacy. Blinds are often considered a “hard” window treatment as they are usually made of metal, vinyl or wood. They have individual slats that can be tilted, raised or lowered. Shades on the other hand are usually made with fabric, cannot tilt and are meant to be raised or lowered. Some types such as our cellular honeycomb shades have the ability to raise and lower from the top or bottom, allowing you just the right amount of light and privacy.
