There’s something truly special about enjoying your outdoor space. Whether you’re sipping coffee on a quiet morning or hosting a lively evening gathering, your backyard can be your favorite place. But when the sun becomes too intense or unexpected rain threatens, your outdoor space may not feel so inviting. That’s where our outdoor living space shades come in.
At Made in the Shade Northern Virginia, we help homeowners enhance their outdoor areas with stylish, functional outdoor window treatments like patio covers, sun shades, and retractable awnings. With a variety of colors, materials, and motorized options, we can create the perfect shaded retreat for your home.
Why Choose Outdoor Shades for Your Patio?
Northern Virginia’s weather offers plenty of sunshine, but that can quickly turn uncomfortable when you’re outside. With custom exterior shades and awnings, you can turn your patio or porch into a comfortable, year-round retreat.
Our custom patio shade solutions offer:
-
Protection from harmful UV rays
-
Glare reduction while allowing airflow
-
Increased privacy from neighbors
-
Enhanced curb appeal
-
Lower cooling costs for your home
Whether you’re unwinding alone or hosting a party, exterior shades and awnings make your outdoor spaces more usable and enjoyable, longer.
Patio Shade Solutions for Every Home
Every home is unique, and so are your outdoor spaces. That’s why we offer various patio shade solutions that cater to different setups, sizes, and design preferences. Here are a few options to consider:
1. Exterior Patio Shades
Our sleek and space-saving exterior patio shades are perfect for patios, decks, balconies, and breezeways. These shades roll down from overhead or side-mounted casings and can be customized with UV-blocking mesh fabrics.
Perfect for:
-
Covered patios
-
Pergolas and arbors
-
Porches with a lanai design
Choose manual or motorized operation for ultimate convenience, or go even further with smart home integration.
2. Retractable Awnings
A retractable awning is ideal for homeowners who want shade when they need it, and sunshine when they don’t. Extend it at the touch of a button and retract it just as easily when the sun moves or the weather changes.
Great for:
-
Dining areas outdoors
-
Poolside seating
-
Windows facing the hot afternoon sun
Our retractable awnings come in a variety of durable, stylish fabrics from leading brands like Graber and Insolroll.
3. Custom Outdoor Shades
For more complex outdoor spaces, our custom outdoor shades are the solution. These shades are designed to blend seamlessly with your home’s architecture and lifestyle. We offer cable-guided systems, motorized drop-downs, and side-channel shades to suit your needs.
Notable features include:
-
Wind sensors for automatic retraction
-
Smartphone or voice control options

Eco-friendly fabrics with elegant finishes
