How We Work:

The best place to help you find the perfect window fashion solution for your home is in your home. That’s why our business model is centered around a complimentary, no obligation, in-home consultation. After spending a few minutes talking about what you’re interested in seeing, our highly-trained local Made in the Shade owner will bring in samples to guide you through the selection process for the perfect window covering solutions. No matter your product choice, our goal is simple: to provide a comfortable shopping experience where you are able to make well-informed decisions about your window fashion needs.

We are proud to stand by our five-point value system:

    • Customization: Every window fashion we supply is custom-made for your windows in the color, style, and options you select. We help you to make each window a reflection of you and your style. Dare to be different! We make it easy!
    • Service: We back up every sale with stellar service. Our goal is to provide personalized care before, during, and long after the sale because every client is a story. We want your story to be as amazing as your window coverings.
    • Price: We all know that price doesn’t always equal value, but when we back it up with the best products and the best warranties in the business, we’re offering great value at a great price.
    • Warranty: Each of our manufacturing partners offer generous warranties with most carrying a limited lifetime warranty, providing you a worry-free investment in your home.
