About Made in the Shade | The Nation’s Leading Window Treatment Experts
Meet Made in the Shade
National Power. Neighborhood Care.
At Made in the Shade, we believe the best place to choose window treatments isn’t in a warehouse—it’s in your living room. Founded in 2004 with a passion for exceptional design and a commitment to “white-glove” service, our franchise has grown into one of North America’s premier custom window treatment providers.The “Shop-at-Home” Revolution. We disrupted the industry by keeping things beautifully simple: We bring the showroom to you. With a rapidly growing network of locally owned and operated franchises across the United States and Canada, we offer custom window fashions from the world’s top brands (including Graber, Alta, Norman, and Hunter Douglas) without the overhead of retail stores. This allows us to pass superior pricing and personalized attention directly to you.

How We Work: The “In-Home” Advantage
Why do we insist on coming to you? Because lighting changes everything. The same fabric can look completely different depending on the time of day, the direction your windows face, and the colors already present in your space. A material that appears warm beige in a showroom might look cool gray in your living room. That’s why choosing window treatments in your own home makes all the difference.
Our entire business model is built around a complimentary, no-obligation, in-home consultation designed to make the process simple, personalized, and stress-free. We believe you should see, touch, and compare samples in the actual room where they’ll be installed — under your lighting, next to your furniture, and within your décor.
We Stand by Our Five-Point Value System:
01
Quality Assurance
We don’t sell “off-the-shelf.” Our manufacturing partners are thoroughly vetted to ensure every product is constructed from premium materials—whether it’s kiln-dried hardwood or moisture-resistant polysatin.
02
True Customization
We measure to the millimeter. Every window fashion we supply is custom-made for your specific window frame, ensuring no unsightly light gaps and perfect operation.
03
Local Service
You aren’t dealing with a call center. You are working with a neighbor. We provide personalized care before, during, and long after the sale because our reputation in the community matters.
04
Transparent Pricing
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.
05
Lifetime Warranty
Peace of mind comes standard. Each of our manufacturing partners offers generous warranties, with most carrying a limited lifetime warranty on mechanisms and materials.
