The Showroom Comes to Your Doorstep
We bring our complete collection of sample books directly to your living room. Compare fabrics, textures, and colors against your own furniture and lighting to ensure the perfect match for your new custom blinds and shades.
Precision Laser Measuring & Manufacturing
Once you select your style, we take precision laser measurements of every window frame to guarantee a flawless, custom fit. Your window treatments are then custom-manufactured to those exact specifications.
White-Glove Professional Installation
Sit back and relax while our certified installers handle the rest. We ensure a perfect mount, demonstrate how to use your new motorized or manual shades, and leave your home spotless.
Avoid the Frustration of “Big Box” Blinds That Don’t Fit, Fade Quickly, or Look Cheap
"Standard Sizes" Create Gaps & Privacy Issues
Big box stores sell “cut-down” sizes that rarely fit Northern Virginia’s custom window frames perfectly. The result? Ugly gaps that let in light, compromise your privacy, and ruin the energy efficiency of your home.
DIY Measuring Errors Are Expensive
Window treatments require precision down to the 1/8th of an inch. A single miscalculation on an “Inside Mount” vs. “Outside Mount” can leave you with hundreds of dollars in non-returnable plastic blinds that simply don’t fit.
Online Orders = Zero Accountability
Ordering online feels easy until the product arrives damaged or the color doesn’t match your screen. When things go wrong, you’re stuck battling chatbots and return shipping fees instead of enjoying your view.
Now that’s easy, call now!

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
Custom shades can enhance any room in the home, from bedrooms to media rooms. Choose from a wide selection of roller shades, cellular shades, sheer shades, natural shades, and fabric roman shades. These come in hundreds of fashion-forward materials, colors, textures, and styles. Window shades are not only beautiful, but also functional with cordless lift and child safety options!
Shutters
Think of plantation shutters as fine furniture for your windows. Custom-crafted from premium hardwood or durable composite materials (perfect for humid bathrooms), shutters add permanent value and curb appeal to your home. Enjoy superior light control, privacy, and a classic elegance that never goes out of style.
Blinds
Our custom window blinds collections range from horizontal wood or faux wood, or vertical blinds. Custom blinds come in different sizes and colors, letting you match them to your home’s style. You can easily adjust the light and privacy by raising or tilting the slats with just your hand.
Outdoor Shades
Extend your living space during Northern Virginia’s beautiful seasons. Our exterior patio shades block up to 95% of harmful UV rays, drastically reduce heat and glare, and protect your furniture. Opt for insect-resistant tracks (zipper systems) to enjoy bug-free evenings on your porch or lanai without losing your view.
Drapery
Bring in your personal touch with custom window drapes allowing you to instantly complement the style and decor of your home. Soft treatments come in many textures, patterns, and colors. For both small windows and large windows, drapery is a simple choice to improve the atmosphere in your home.
Decorative Grilles
Make a bold architectural statement inside or out. Faux iron decorative grilles allow you to transform plain windows, transoms, or niches into stunning works of art without the weight or cost of heavy wrought iron. It’s the perfect way to add unique, custom character to foyers and accent windows.
