Don’t Let the Front Range Climate Damage Your Home

Q

Sun-Bleached Floors & Furniture

At 5,000 feet, UV rays are intense. They can fade your expensive hardwood floors, rugs, and furniture in a single season. Our solar shades block 99% of damaging UV, acting as essential sunscreen for your interior.

Q

The Home Office Glare Problem

Working from home with a view of the foothills is great, until you can’t see your screen. Generic blinds create streaks of light. We offer specialized light-filtering shades that cut the glare on your monitor without making the room dark.

Q

The Horsetooth Wind Tunnel

The winds coming off the foothills can be powerful, causing cheap blinds to rattle and break. We use heavy-duty components and secure mounting to ensure your window treatments stay quiet and durable, even during a classic NoCo windstorm.

Now that’s easy, call now!

Highly recommend Made in the Shade Fort Collins! Rhonda came to my home in Timnath and immediately understood what I was looking for and offered great suggestions and options. I really love the ability to walk into my room and tell Alexa "Good Morning" and watch my blinds open like magic! When I'm out of town I can set a schedule for my blinds to open and close at a set time every day...makes my houseplants very happy, not to mention making it appear my house is occupied. Great quality, great customer service! Thank you Rhonda!

Rhonda, Made in the Shade, has an amazing eye for design! She selected the perfect natural woven shades for my main living spaces in our new home in Windsor, CO. She suggested top down blinds for bedrooms and wood blinds for the bathrooms. Most importantly, she stayed in our budget. I highly recommend her for your window coverings.

Rhonda with Made in the Shade has helped me with window coverings for 3 of my previous homes in Colorado as well as my condo all the way in Virgin Islands! All of the CO homes were large projects and totally different styles, colors and products. Rhonda was able to help me choose the perfect fit & style for each, giving the finishing touch that makes all the difference in the world! For my place in the Caribbean, I gave her my window sizes and photos of my place and she picked the perfect window covering for all of my windows. We installed ourselves and the installation was seamless. They are beautiful and I would highly recommend and trust Rhonda with any project from anywhere around the globe! I will never go anywhere else!
