Avoid the Frustration of “One-Size-Fits-All” Blinds in the Badger State

Q

Gaps That Let the Winter Chill In

Generic blinds from big box stores rarely fit perfectly. In a Madison Wisconsin winter, even a tiny gap allows freezing drafts to pour into your home, forcing your furnace to work overtime. Our custom measurements ensure a tight, insulating fitย that keeps the warmth inside where it belongs.

Q

Humidity Warps Cheap Materials

Our humid summers are tough on low-quality wood and plastic. Standard blinds often bow, yellow, or peel after just a few seasons of Wisconsin’s changing weather. We offer premiumย composite and moisture-resistantย products engineered to stay straight and beautiful for a lifetime.

Q

Online Orders = Zero Local Support

Buying “smart” blinds online sounds easy until they arrive damaged or fail to sync with your Wi-Fi. When things go wrong, youโ€™re stuck with a broken product and a chatbot. We provide local, face-to-face service and professional support throughoutย Dane and Waukesha Counties.

Now that’s easy, call now!

I have nothing but wonderful things to report about Cindy Schroedl and her Made In The Shade team! From the consultation through the communication of order details all the way until the installation, Cindy exceeded my expectations. Having tried two previous window covering companies, both well known businesses, I didnโ€™t honestly feel understood and taken care of until the day Cindy came to my home and gave me honest and helpful advice that resulted in absolutely perfect window treatments!

Scott from Made in the Shade had the solutions we needed! A study, effective blackout accordion shade for more restful sleep in the morning, and an AMAZING and beautiful see-through roller shade for our big kitchen window overlooking our woods. We wanted to still see the deer and turkeys and critters, but keep the warmth in during winter and cut the sunโ€™s glare in summer โ€“ and thatโ€™s exactly what Made in the Shade delivered. We couldnโ€™t be happier and highly recommend Scott and this company!

Living in Madison Wisconsin means preparing your home for every extreme. Our collection is curated to handle the sub-zero winters in Madisonย and the humid lakefront summers inย Milwaukee.

Shades

Your best defense against the winter cold. Ourย cellular honeycomb shadesย feature a unique honeycomb design that traps air at the window, creating a powerful thermal barrier against drafts.
