Custom Window Fashions Engineered for the Texas Heat

Choosing the best window treatment is essential for showcasing your unique Austin style while combating the Central Texas sun. Our custom solutions blend seamlessly with your home’s architecture, providing critical UV protection, privacy, and cooling efficiency. We hand-craft every treatment to your specific measurements for a flawless, high-performance finish.

Shades

Beat the Heat, Protect Your View

The Austin sun heats your home and fades your furnishings. Solar shades block the heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters, and our spectrally selective solar shades cut heat and glare while keeping your view. Cellular shades add insulation for the long cooling season, and roller shades, our featured top pick, go smart.

Shutters

Timeless Hill Country Style, Real Value

Plantation shutters add timeless, upscale curb appeal and permanent home value, a natural fit for Westlake, Lakeway, and Hill Country homes. Their solid louvers add insulation against the Texas heat, and durable faux wood handles kitchens and baths beautifully. Real wood brings classic warmth to refined rooms.

Blinds

Classic Style, Custom-Fit for Texas Homes

From rich real wood to durable faux wood, our custom blinds deliver precise light control and a tailored fit that big-box sizes cannot match, including the large and specialty windows of Austin homes. Faux wood resists moisture and will not warp in kitchens and baths, and vertical blinds handle wide patio sliders.

Outdoor Shades

Reclaim Your Patio from the Texas Sun

The Texas sun can make a patio unusable by mid-afternoon. Exterior patio shades and retractable awnings block UV and radiant heat, cut glare, and add privacy, turning a sun-baked patio, porch, or outdoor kitchen into a comfortable space. Perfect for Hill Country decks with a view. Manual or motorized, built for the Austin climate.

Drapery

Softness, Texture & Designer Style

Custom drapery adds the finishing designer touch: softness, texture, and an extra layer of light control against the bright Texas sun. Layer drapes over shades to frame the tall great-room windows of an Austin home with elegance. Tailored to your exact windows from thousands of premium fabrics.

Decorative Grilles

Architectural Character for Your Home

Decorative faux-iron grilles add instant architectural character to arched windows, entryways, and bare walls, a distinctive touch that complements Hill Country, Spanish, and modern Austin architecture. They deliver the timeless look of hand-forged wrought iron without the weight, adding custom curb appeal that stands out.

Our experience with Made in the Shade was excellent from start to finish. From the initial website inquiry that brought a timely and thoughtful in-home consultation with Nicole to the installation by Josh and Reese, we were impressed with the communication and professional behavior throughout. We had disliked the brightly colored roller shade covering a very large kitchen window since buying our home several years ago - we now wish we had reached out sooner! Highly recommend and will definitely use them again for custom window treatments.

I have had a great experience with the team at Made in the Shade Austin. We have great Levelor blinds that were installed a couple years back and the performance has been flawless. We have blockout shades for bedrooms upstairs that have been wonderful. We had a service request recently and they were prompt and took care of our shades. We live in Horseshoe Bay and they traveled out 2x to get our shades serviced. They have taken care of the home and made working with them as easy as possible. I highly recommend Kelli and Matt. Great people to do business with!

So happy with their fast, friendly service with fair pricing. I spent over a month trying to get a different company to come out and fix and exterior shade they had installed and the delays kept happening. The pricing was steep as well. I called these guys and they came out the next day. They have installed interior shades for me a couple of years ago and they are operating fine with no problems. Very happy with that encounters also. They are my go to from now on.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Treatments in Austin

How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in Austin?

Custom window treatments usually range from under $100 to over $1,000 per window. The price depends on the product, window size, material, operating system, motorization, and number of windows, so an exact quote needs the actual windows measured.

What window treatments are best for beating the Texas heat?
