When it comes to upgrading your home, few improvements have the same instant impact as custom window blinds. Not only do they elevate the look and feel of a space, but they also bring unmatched functionality. At Made in the Shade Twin Cities, we specialize in bringing the showroom to you with beautiful, professionally measured and installed window treatments designed around your lifestyle.
Whether you’re outfitting a sunny kitchen, a cozy bedroom, or a sleek home office, custom window blinds for home are a must-have. Wondering why? Let’s break down how the right blinds can completely transform every room in your home—and why working with a local expert makes all the difference.
What Makes Custom Blinds So Special?
Unlike off-the-shelf options, custom window treatments are tailored to your windows and your preferences. That means a better fit, a cleaner look, and features that align with your everyday needs—like cordless lift systems and motorization that can connect to your smart home devices.
At Made in the Shade Twin Cities, we offer top-tier brands like Graber, Norman, and Alta Window Fashions, known for their quality construction and elegant styles. Our free in-home consultations help you see fabric swatches and color options in your own lighting—because decisions this important shouldn’t be left to guesswork.
Living Room: A Perfect Blend of Style & Comfort
Your living room is where design and functionality intersect. It’s the space you entertain, relax, and spend time with family. Must-have custom window blinds here should be stylish enough to make a statement, but also practical to manage light and privacy.
- Recommended Style: Wood blinds or Sheer shades
- Why: Wood blinds for every room bring a rich, organic texture while sheer shades softly diffuse sunlight for a bright, elegant look.
Kitchen: Durable and Easy-to-Clean Options
Kitchens are high-traffic areas, so your window coverings need to stand up to heat, moisture, and the occasional splash of sauce. With faux wood blinds or solar shades, you get durability without sacrificing beauty.
- Recommended Style: Faux wood blinds or Solar shades
- Why: Faux wood resists moisture and is easy to wipe clean. Solar shades block harsh sunlight and protect against UV damage while still letting you enjoy the view.
Bedroom: Total Privacy and Light Control
Sleep matters—and so does your bedroom atmosphere. Whether you’re a late sleeper or an early riser, your blinds should support your routine. Consider layering window treatments or choosing room-darkening options for full control over light and privacy.
- Recommended Style: Cellular shades or Dual shades
- Why: Cellular shades provide insulation and blackout features. Dual shades offer two layers—sheer and solid—for day-to-night flexibility.
Bathroom: Moisture-Resistant & Stylish
Bathrooms are one of the trickiest rooms to style. You need something that’s moisture-resistant but still attractive. Don’t settle for standard plastic blinds—custom solutions look far more elevated.
- Recommended Style: Shutters or Faux wood blinds
- Why: Vinyl and faux wood handle humidity without warping. Shutters add a polished, upscale look with excellent privacy.
Home Office: Productivity Starts with Light Control
Glare on your screen? A too-dark workspace? Your blinds could be the reason your home office doesn’t feel like a productive place. With roller shades or motorized blinds, you can control the light levels throughout the day with the touch of a button—or a voice command.
- Recommended Style: Roller shades or Motorized blinds
- Why: Clean lines and customizable opacity make roller shades ideal. Motorization makes daily adjustments seamless, especially during video calls.
Nursery or Kids’ Room: Safety First
Safety is always top priority in a child’s room. All of our products offer cordless lift systems to eliminate the risk of entanglement. You don’t have to sacrifice design for safety—today’s child-friendly blinds come in fun colors, prints, and even room-darkening fabrics for nap time.
- Recommended Style: Cellular shades or Zebra shades
- Why: Cellular shades provide insulation and soft light. Zebra shades give you the fun factor with a bold, contemporary twist.
The Technology Advantage: Motorized for Modern Living
Today’s homeowners love convenience. That’s why so many are turning to motorized window treatments that can be synced to their Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or smartphone app. Wake up to natural light or close the blinds with a voice command—it’s all possible.
Plus, many of our motorized blinds are eligible for smart home integration, making them perfect for energy efficiency, child safety, and modern living.
Why Local Matters: The Made in the Shade Difference
Big box stores and online retailers can’t offer what Made in the Shade Twin Cities can—personalized service, high-quality products, and a professional eye for detail. Our local team knows the Twin Cities metro, so we can recommend window treatments that handle Minnesota’s seasonal extremes.
From professional measuring to expert installation, we take the guesswork out of shopping for window treatments. And with our curated selection of top brands and textiles, you’ll love the process as much as the final result.
