Custom Shades
Roller, sheer, Roman, honeycomb, solar, and skylight shades - tailored to your light, your view, and your lifestyle.
Shades, perfected
Create the perfect atmosphere - from translucent solar shades that protect your view to blackout honeycombs that darken a bedroom completely. Every shade is custom-fabricated and can be fully motorized - including certified Lutron shading systems. Our solar screens come from Mermet and Phifer - including Mermet's KOOLBLACK charcoal weaves that keep the ocean view without the heat. For the widest opening in the home, see window treatments for sliding glass doors. From a single window covering to a whole-home shading system, every piece is made in our Fort Lauderdale workroom and installed by our own team across South Florida.

Outdoor & exterior shades
Florida living extends outside - and so does our shading. Motorized exterior screens tame sun, glare, and insects on patios, terraces, and lanais while preserving the view, and they retract out of sight when the evening cools. Wind-rated hardware and marine-grade fabrics are made for our climate.
