Beat the Texas Heat

North Texas summers are long and brutal. Solar shades block heat and up to 99% of UV, and insulating cellular shades ease your AC — lowering your energy bills and protecting your floors.

Smart Shades, Effortless Control

“Alexa, raise my shades.” Our motorized shades work with all major smart-home devices — schedule them to lower in the peak afternoon heat, even on tall, hard-to-reach windows.

Local, Family-Owned Service

We’re your neighbors from Granbury to Aledo. We bring the showroom to your door and match every option in your own Texas light — honest service that feels like family.

Free In-Home Consultation

Top Brands. Local Service. The Showroom Comes to You.

Finding the right window coverings shouldn’t mean driving all over the metroplex. Made in the Shade Greater SW Ft. Worth brings the full mobile showroom to your living room. Because the Texas sun hits every home differently, our team helps you compare fabrics, opacities, and finishes right where they’ll be installed — from a new build in Aledo to a lake home in Granbury or an established home in Benbrook.

Whether you need solar shades to beat the heat and cut your energy bill, custom shutters for a great room, or smart motorized shades that answer to Alexa, we design each treatment to your exact windows. Free, with no obligation.

Roller Shades Hallway HM

Custom Window Fashions for Every Style

Choosing the best window treatment is essential in showcasing your unique style. Our solutions for all types of windows will blend seamlessly with your overall interior design. Window treatments improve the look of your space and provide privacy, control light, and save on energy efficiency. We carefully craft each custom treatment to your specific measurements and desired decorative and functional features, including motorization options.

Shades

Block the Texas Sun, Lower Your Bills

North Texas sun heats your home and fades your furnishings. Solar shades block the heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters — giving your AC a break — while cellular honeycomb shades add insulation that cuts your energy bill in the long, hot summer and holds warmth in during winter cold snaps. Add blackout roller shades for bedrooms. Cordless and Alexa-ready motorized options for every room.

Shutters

Timeless Texas Style & Energy Efficiency

Plantation shutters are a North Texas favorite — timeless, upscale curb appeal plus permanent home value. Their solid louvers add real insulation that eases your AC in the summer heat and holds warmth in during winter, and they’re a durable, elegant fit for the great rooms and large windows of Aledo, Granbury, and Benbrook homes. Choose the warmth of wood or the durability of composite.

Blinds

Classic Style, Custom-Fit for Texas Homes

From rich real wood that suits a traditional Texas home to durable faux wood for kitchens and baths, our custom blinds deliver precise light control and a tailored fit that big-box sizes can’t match — including the large and specialty windows common in North Texas homes. Faux wood resists moisture and won’t warp; vertical blinds handle wide patio sliders with ease.

Outdoor Shades

Reclaim Your Patio from the Texas Sun

The Texas sun can make a patio unusable by mid-afternoon. Exterior patio shades block UV and radiant heat, cut glare, and add privacy — turning a sun-baked patio, porch, or outdoor kitchen into a comfortable space you can actually enjoy. Manual or motorized, built for the North Texas climate. A must for lake homes and outdoor-living-focused Aledo and Granbury properties.

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 or shutters for a sophisticated, finished look on both small windows and large great-room windows. Tailored to your exact windows from thousands of premium fabrics, with motorized tracks available.

Decorative Grilles

Architectural Character for Your Home

Decorative faux-iron grilles add instant architectural character to arched windows, entryways, transoms, and bare walls — a distinctive, high-design touch for Texas homes, from Hill-Country-style builds to Spanish and Mediterranean architecture. They deliver the timeless look of hand-forged wrought iron without the weight, adding custom curb appeal that stands out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Treatments in Greater SW Fort Worth

How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in Greater SW Fort Worth?

Custom window treatments typically 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 requires measuring the actual windows.

That’s why Made in the Shade Greater SW Ft. Worth includes a free in-home consultation – we measure every window, show samples in your home’s real Texas light, and tailor the quote to your actual project.

What window treatments are best for beating the Texas heat and lowering energy bills?

Solar shades and cellular (honeycomb) shades are the best choices for North Texas. Solar shades block the sun’s heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters, while cellular shades add insulation that eases your AC through the long, hot summer – and holds warmth in during winter cold snaps.

Plantation shutters add year-round insulation and value, and are a durable, upscale fit for Aledo, Granbury, and Benbrook homes.

Are you locally owned?

Do your smart shades work with Alexa and Google Home?

Yes. Our motorized shades work with all major smart-home devices, including Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Just say “Alexa, raise my shades,” or schedule them to lower during the peak Texas afternoon heat – convenient and energy-smart.

They’re ideal for tall, hard-to-reach windows and the large windows common in North Texas homes.

How does the free in-home consultation work?
