Our Professional Process
Just a Few Steps Away
Schedule Your Local Design Visit
Contact us to book a complimentary appointment that fits your busy schedule. We proudly serve homeowners across the entire South Central region, from the suburbs of Waukesha to the heart of Madison.
Mobile Design Studio at Your Door
Don’t guess how materials look in a retail store. We bring our full collection to you so you can see how different fabrics manage the bright Wisconsin sun and match your existing furniture in your home’s actual lighting.
Precision Measuring for All-Season Insulation
In Wisconsin, a gap in your shades means a cold draft in January. We take precise laser measurements to ensure an airtight, custom fit that maximizes your home’s energy efficiency and stops the winter chill in its tracks.

Our professional local team handles the entire process with Midwestern care. We securely mount your new treatments and, for motorized options, we’ll help you program them to lower automatically at sunset to trap heat and keep your home cozy.
Avoid the Frustration of “One-Size-Fits-All” Blinds in the Badger State
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 fit that keeps the warmth inside where it belongs.
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 premium composite and moisture-resistant products engineered to stay straight and beautiful for a lifetime.
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, you’re stuck with a broken product and a chatbot. We provide local, face-to-face service and professional support throughout Dane and Waukesha Counties.
Now that’s easy, call now!

Intelligent Climate Control for Your Home
Wisconsin homes face massive temperature swings. Our motorized shades do more than just look great; they work with your smart home system to improve your home’s thermal efficiency. Program them to lower during hot summer afternoons to block solar heat or close at sunset during a deep winter freeze to trap warmth inside—all from your smartphone or voice assistant.
Shutters
Timeless Style, Wisconsin Tough
Nothing adds permanent value to a home in Madison or Waukesha like custom plantation shutters. Beyond their classic curb appeal, they provide a solid insulating barrier at the window, stopping drafts and dampening outside noise. Our composite shutters are built to handle our humid summers and dry winters without ever warping, cracking, or peeling.
Exterior Shades
Maximize Your Short Wisconsin Summers
Don’t let the heat or the bugs drive you indoors. Our motorized exterior screens transform your deck or patio into a comfortable, bug-free outdoor living room. Block the intense glare coming off the lake and protect your family from UV rays, allowing you to enjoy every minute of the beautiful Madison Wisconsin seasons.

High-Performance Window Fashions for the Wisconsin Climate
Living in Madison Wisconsin means preparing your home for every extreme. Our collection is curated to handle the sub-zero winters in Madison and the humid lakefront summers in Milwaukee. From maximum-insulation shades that slash your heating bills to moisture-proof shutters that never warp, we provide durable solutions for all-season comfort.
Shades
Your best defense against the winter cold. Our cellular honeycomb shades feature a unique honeycomb design that traps air at the window, creating a powerful thermal barrier against drafts. For modern homes in Waukesha, explore our motorized roller shades for sleek light control or sheer shadings that beautifully diffuse the bright Wisconsin sun.
Shutters
Add permanent value and an extra layer of insulation to your home. Plantation shutters are a classic choice for the traditional architecture found in Jefferson and Milwaukee. Our composite shutters are 100% moisture-resistant, making them the perfect, warp-proof solution for humid bathrooms and kitchens while providing exceptional privacy.
Blinds
Achieve a high-end look with unmatched durability. Our moisture-resistant faux wood blinds are engineered to withstand the humidity of a Wisconsin summer without peeling or yellowing. They are a practical, budget-friendly option for outfitting an entire home, offering precise control over light and privacy for your family.
Outdoor Shades
Make the most of our beautiful but short summer season. Our motorized exterior solar screens block the intense glare off Lake Michigan or Lake Mendota, keeping your patio or deck cool and comfortable. They create a bug-free sanctuary, allowing you to enjoy outdoor entertaining in Dane County well into the evening.
Drapery
Create a cozy retreat from the winter chill. Layering custom drapery panels over your blinds adds softness, texture, and a significant boost to your home’s insulation. Thick fabrics also provide excellent sound absorption, dampening outside noise and making your living room or master suite feel like a quiet sanctuary.
Decorative Grilles
Enhance your home’s architectural character without heavy construction. Faux iron grilles are a stunning addition to transom windows, sidelights, or niches. They provide the sophisticated look of custom wrought iron, adding an artistic, custom detail that boosts the curb appeal of any Wisconsin home.
