Shades
Block the Sun, Beat Winter Heat Loss
Fort Collins windows face an intense high-altitude sun and real winter heat loss. Solar shades block the sun’s heat and up to 99% of UV while keeping your view, and insulating cellular shades slow heat loss through cold windows and lower your heating bill. Roller shades go smart with ‘Alexa, raise my shades!’.
Shutters
Timeless Style, Sun Control & Insulation
Plantation shutters add timeless, upscale curb appeal and permanent home value. Their solid louvers block the intense Colorado sun and add an insulating layer against winter heat loss, and durable faux wood handles kitchens and baths. Real wood brings classic warmth to refined rooms.
Blinds
A Tight, Custom Fit That Holds the Heat
From rich real wood to durable faux wood, our custom blinds deliver precise light control and a tight, tailored fit that big-box sizes cannot match. A snug fit against the frame helps cut the cold off a winter window, faux wood resists moisture in kitchens and baths, and vertical blinds handle wide patio sliders.
Outdoor Shades
Reclaim Your Patio From the Colorado Sun
The intense Colorado sun can make a patio unusable by mid-afternoon. Exterior patio shades and retractable awnings block UV and radiant heat, cut glare, and add privacy, so your deck or patio stays comfortable. They also help keep the rooms behind the glass cooler. Manual or motorized, built for the Front Range.
Drapery
Softness, Texture & Extra Winter Warmth
Custom drapery adds the finishing designer touch: softness, texture, and an extra insulating layer against the cold. Layer drapes over solar or cellular shades to frame a large window with elegance while holding more heat in through the winter. Tailored to your exact windows from a wide range of premium fabrics.
Decorative Grilles
Architectural Character for Your Home
Decorative faux-iron grilles add instant architectural character to arched windows, entryways, and bare walls, a distinctive touch for Fort Collins homes. They deliver the timeless look of hand-forged wrought iron without the weight, adding custom curb appeal that stands out.

What Fort Collins Homeowners Say
Frequently Asked Questions About Window Treatments in Fort Collins
How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in Fort Collins?
Custom window treatments usually range from about $100 to over $1,000 per window. The price depends on the product, window size, material, operating system, motorization, and number of windows, so an exact quote needs the actual windows measured.
That is why Made in the Shade Fort Collins includes a free in-home consultation. We bring the mobile showroom to you, measure every window, show samples in your home’s real light, and tailor the quote to your project.
What window treatments are best for the Colorado sun and winters?
Solar shades block the intense Colorado sun and up to 99% of UV to keep rooms cooler and stop fading, and cellular (honeycomb) shades slow winter heat loss through cold windows. Fort Collins windows face both, so many homes use solar and cellular together.
Roller shades go smart with ‘Alexa, raise my shades!’, and we help you match the right shade to each window and exposure.
