Types of Custom Window Shades We Offer in Portland & Salem
We offer a wide range of options: roller shades, solar shades, room-darkening and blackout shades, skylight shades, and Roman shades. All of them are made with precision craftsmanship and quality materials.
In addition to our own custom-made Roman shades, we design your window treatments using products from top-brand shade manufacturers such as Hunter Douglas, Horizons, Graber, Insolroll, Hartmann & Forbes, Conrad, and others.
Roller Shades
It’s no surprise that roller shades are popular choice for window shades. They offer versatility and style, allowing you to filter or cut the light entering your room.
A wide range of fabric patterns allows everyone to express their own personal aesthetic: classic elegance, contemporary, playful patterns, or neutral minimalism. The possibilities are almost endless, and we’re here to help you find the best option for your home!
Screen Shades / Solar Shades
Our solar screen selection is available in different opacities. This allows you to create a modern look for your home while protecting furniture and floors from harmful UV rays.
Screen shades in light colors, mounted on the exterior of the home, are most effective in reflecting solar heat. They also provide more privacy and are, surprisingly, more difficult to look through than solar shades in darker colors. Screens also control glare and help reduce energy costs while still allowing you to enjoy the view when they are down!
Cellular Shades / Vertical Shades
Cellular shades, with their honeycomb design, offer excellent insulation and keep your home comfortable all year round. They’re excellent for blocking the cold of a Portland winter or keeping your home cool in the summer.
Cellular shades combine the right balance of minimalist style with practical benefits.
Vertical cellular shades can span openings up to 28 ft. wide, perfect on large sliders or cantina doors, and they are also available in room-darkening fabric options.
Roman Shades
The wide pleats and soft fabric of custom Roman shades combine classical elegance with a more modern feel. They bring a luxurious touch to any room, and we craft them from unique fabrics from around the world.
Custom Roman shades created by local artisans add a one-of-a-kind work of art to your home.
Sheer Shades
Sheer shades create a softer look that conveys an air of elegance and lets more light into your home for a warm glow. This is a popular choice for adding an air of romance to living rooms or bedroom.
Our collection of custom sheer shades can also be lined with a sheer lining. Soft vanes and delicate sheer fabrics transform incoming sunlight into elegant patterns throughout your room.
Blackout Shades
Shades made of room-darkening fabrics (also known as blackout curtains) can block up to 99% of light to give you a “near Vegas dark" experience.
Several choices are available with different finishes and motorization options. Whether your goal is to block out the light to sleep well or to enjoy your own theatre room, we can help you find an elegant, fashionable, and functional solution.
Woven Wood Shades
Our woven wood shades are crafted from natural materials like bamboo, exotic reeds, and grasses. Each shade shows beautiful patterns and color tones that wouldn't otherwise be possible with traditional blinds. If you want to bring the beauty which only nature can create into your home, this is the answer! Natural materials create powerful, unique statements in any room.

Benefits of Window Shades
Roller shades provide the best of both worlds: They offer a stylish look and an elegant alternative to traditional window coverings while also providing light control, privacy and insulation.
Manage Sunlight with Ease
Shades allow you to easily control and filter light or darken your room.
Simple Maintenance
Window shades should be vacuumed or cleaned with a feather duster at least once every quarter and require minimal upkeep.
Privacy and Aesthetics
Enjoy the right balance of privacy and beauty with our premium roller shades.

While we don't believe there are standard sizes for windows or shades, we usually quote a window shade that is 36" wide by 72" long to give homeowners an idea about the cost.
-
Shades can be mounted inside or outside the window frame. It all depends on the look you want to achieve, and the space available. Typically, a deduction of 1/16” is taken from the narrowest “inside the window frame” width measurement to make sure the window shade operates freely.

Sun shades in reflective, light colors are most effective in reflecting the heat, but any color you choose is better than having no solar shade at all.

Shades are usually made from fabrics or textiles – think “soft”.
Blinds are mostly made from wood, faux wood, or metal – think “hard”. -
