Custom Commercial Shades Are a Must for Business Spaces

Shades

When it comes to designing a polished, productive workplace, every detail matters—including the custom commercial shades. Whether you’re running a downtown office, a cozy cafĂ©, a healthcare facility, or a retail showroom, the right commercial window shades do more than just cover windows. They enhance your business’s look, improve comfort, and even support energy efficiency.

At Made in the Shade Twin Cities, we help business owners transform their interiors with stylish, high-performing window coverings for businesses. From solar shades that reduce glare to motorized solutions you can control from your phone, our commercial window treatments are customized to suit your brand, budget, and building.

We’ll Bring the Showroom to You! Let us guide you through the possibilities with a Free In-Office Consultation. Professional measuring, expert product guidance, and precise installation are all included.

1. Enhance Your Brand Image with Custom Shades for Offices

First impressions are everything. When clients, customers, or partners walk into your building, the environment should reflect your brand’s professionalism and style. Off-the-shelf blinds or worn-out mini-blinds just won’t cut it.

Solar Shades Office

Custom roller shades and natural woven wood shades offer a high-end, finished look that complements modern interiors. Whether you choose bold textures, subtle neutrals, or sleek sheers, the right shade design can elevate your commercial space—no matter your industry.

With products from trusted names like Graber, Alta Window Fashions, Insolroll, and Horizons, you’re investing in both quality and aesthetics.

2. Improve Comfort and Reduce Glare

From bright boardrooms to bustling reception areas, controlling natural light can both support and sabotage the workplace. Without proper shading, glare on computer screens, hotspots, and inconsistent temperatures can lower productivity and comfort.

Solar shades are a favorite in commercial spaces for their ability to block UV rays while still letting in light. These shades reduce screen glare and maintain outward visibility—especially important in office buildings, retail stores, and restaurants with street-facing types of windows.

Looking for added versatility? Consider dual shades or zebra shades, which offer flexible light control through alternating sheer and opaque fabrics.

3. Energy Efficiency = Lower Operating Costs

Windows are one of the biggest sources of energy loss in commercial buildings. In summer, untreated windows allow heat to pour in. In winter, they leak warmth out. Custom cellular shades provide an effective layer of insulation, thanks to their honeycomb design.

Businesses across the Twin Cities trust Made in the Shade to help them choose office window treatment options that reduce HVAC strain and lower monthly utility bills. It’s a simple upgrade that pays off long-term.

4. Boost Privacy Without Blocking Natural Light

Need privacy in conference rooms, treatment areas, or personal offices without closing off the room completely? Light-filtering sheer shades offer a soft, airy aesthetic while limiting visibility from outside. For more privacy when needed, motorized roller shades can be programmed to lower at specific times of day.

Healthcare providers, law offices, and salons especially benefit from these types of commercial window shades, balancing openness with discretion.

5. Technology-Driven Solutions for Modern Workplaces

Automation is more than a trend—it’s a smarter way to manage your space. With motorized and smart-connected systems, your custom commercial shades can respond to daylight levels, room occupancy, or time of day.

Motorized commercial window shades from brands like Insolroll and Graber can be integrated with smart home or building automation systems, giving you hands-free control with a remote, wall switch, or app.

With cordless operation, you’ll also enjoy a clean, streamlined look that enhances safety—especially important for public-facing or child-friendly spaces.

6. Durable, Easy-to-Maintain Materials

In a commercial setting, durability matters. Our shade collections feature commercial-grade fabrics that resist fading, moisture, and mildew. They’re easy to clean and maintain—ideal for restaurants, gyms, retail shops, and more.

For kitchens or high-humidity areas, moisture-resistant faux wood blinds or vinyl roller shades are a smart choice. For high-traffic areas, wipeable, antimicrobial fabrics keep your space fresh and hygienic.

7. Custom Fit and Professional Installation

No two buildings—or windows—are exactly alike. That’s why professional measuring and installation make all the difference. Our expert team ensures your custom commercial window shades fit perfectly and operate flawlessly, with zero guesswork on your part.

From historic buildings in downtown St. Paul to modern offices in Bloomington, we have experience outfitting all types of spaces throughout the Twin Cities area.

  • Healthcare clinics and dental offices
