Whether you’re redesigning a space or just want to increase comfort, custom window blinds are one of the smartest upgrades you can make. At Made in the Shade Edmonton West, we specialize in custom window treatments that combine high-end design with modern features like cordless lift and smart motorization. And yes — we’ll bring the showroom to you with a Free In-Home Consultation, so you can explore samples in the lighting and setting of your own home.
Custom blinds do more than just look great. They’re essential for managing natural light, enhancing privacy, and improving energy efficiency. And the best part? Every room in your home can benefit from the right window treatment. Let’s break it down by space and explore how custom window blinds for home are a must-have — from your sun-soaked living room to your cozy bedroom retreat.
1. Living Room: Make a Stylish First Impression
Your living room is the heart of your home — it’s where you host guests, unwind with family, and showcase your personal style. Custom window blinds like sheer shades and dual shades offer a perfect mix of function and fashion. These options allow you to layer light beautifully while maintaining daytime privacy.
Need to control glare on your TV or avoid harsh sunlight during golden hour? Motorized blinds, especially when paired with home automation systems, let you adjust lighting with a tap or voice command.
2. Kitchen: Durable, Easy-Clean Solutions
Kitchens need must-have window blinds that can handle heat, moisture, and daily wear — without sacrificing style. Faux wood blinds and roller shades are two excellent choices for this space. Both are easy to clean and come in a variety of colors and textures to match any cabinetry or countertop.
Want a unique touch? Add Tableaux Decorative Grilles above the sink or over an open archway to bring in a custom-designed focal point that won’t fade or warp in kitchen conditions.
3. Bedroom: Total Privacy and Light Control
In the bedroom, privacy and light control are non-negotiable. That’s where cellular shades shine. These energy-efficient shades trap air to keep your space cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter — and they offer a blackout option for those who need complete darkness to sleep.
Zebra shades are another great option, giving you both sheer and opaque stripes you can align to suit your needs. Add motorization for seamless light transitions without leaving the bed.
4. Bathroom: Moisture-Resistant and Private
Bathrooms present a specific challenge — you need privacy, moisture resistance, and materials that won’t warp. Vinyl roller shades and faux wood blinds with a cordless lift are excellent solutions. They resist mildew, clean easily, and maintain their structure and finish over time.
For a more luxurious look, you might opt for custom woven wood shades with a privacy liner. These add an organic texture to the space while still offering full functionality.
5. Home Office: Boost Focus and Reduce Glare
Your productivity space should feel comfortable and distraction-free. That’s why solar shades are perfect for home offices. They reduce glare on screens while preserving your outside view — creating a balanced, comfortable light environment for Zoom calls, spreadsheets, and everything in between.
Want to reduce the afternoon heat that builds up in a room with large windows? Solar shades in a darker weave can block UV rays and help regulate indoor temperatures, cutting down your cooling costs.
6. Children’s Rooms: Safe, Stylish & Smart
When it comes to kids’ rooms, safety comes first. Our entire collection of custom blinds for every room is available with cordless lift systems, helping you meet today’s child safety standards without sacrificing style.
Blackout cellular shades are an excellent choice for naps and early bedtimes, while dual shades provide versatility throughout the day. Looking for a creative and artistic vibe? Add a decorative grille for a playful, yet sophisticated accent wall that grows with your child.
7. Outdoor Spaces: Extend Comfort Beyond the Walls
Yes — window treatments aren’t just for the indoors! Exterior sun shades help create shaded, private outdoor spaces perfect for lounging or dining. These shades block out harsh UV rays while maintaining your view, and they’re fully motorized and weather-resistant.
Custom-fit to your patio or deck, they give you more control over your outdoor comfort — and make your home feel bigger by extending your living area.
