At Made in the Shade South Baldwin, we help you choose the perfect balance of beauty, light control, and comfort for every season—and every room. In a related article, we explored fresh spring styles. Now, let’s look at the seasonal window upgrades that hold their value (and charm) all year long.
Best of all? We’ll Bring The Showroom To You! with a Free In-Home Consultation, so you can see colors and fabrics in your own space and lighting.
☀️ Stay Cool with Solar Shades
Summer heat in South Baldwin can be intense—but solar shades make it easy to beat the glare and protect your interiors from UV damage. These sleek, modern shades reduce heat gain while still allowing you to enjoy the view outside.
Use them in sunrooms, living areas, or anywhere you want to filter natural light without darkening the room completely. Pair with motorization for smart scheduling that keeps your home comfortable and energy-efficient all year long.
🍂 Add Texture and Warmth with Draperies
As the seasons shift toward fall, nothing says cozy like soft layers. Our custom draperies bring an elevated look to any room while helping insulate windows from chilly drafts.
Choose from a wide selection of fabrics, from luxurious linens to bold prints, and layer over blinds or shades for depth and design versatility. Our team will help you match your home’s palette for a seamless look that flows across the seasons.
🌬️ Energy-Efficient Cellular Shades
If year-round temperature control is your priority, cellular shades are your best friend. These honeycomb-designed shades trap air in their pockets to help regulate room temperatures, keeping cool air in during summer and warm air in during winter.
They’re lightweight, modern, and come in a variety of light-filtering or blackout options—making them ideal for bedrooms, offices, and nurseries. They also qualify as eco-friendly, seasonal window upgrades which many homeowners love.
🎯 Custom Blinds That Work in Any Season
Looking for versatility that never goes out of style? Our line of custom blinds is ideal for every season and décor. From traditional wood blinds to durable faux wood options, we’ll help you find the perfect fit for your lifestyle.
Blinds give you full control over privacy and light, and when paired with cordless or motorized lift systems, they’re safer and more convenient than ever—perfect for high-traffic family rooms or windows with a view.
🌸 Spring Into a Bold Look with Zebra Shades
Love bold, modern design? Zebra shades (also called dual shades) are a year-round showstopper. These innovative shades alternate sheer and solid bands, giving you stylish light control with a contemporary edge.
In our previous article, we highlighted how zebra shades fit beautifully into spring refreshes—but they’re just as stunning in summer sunlight or warm winter interiors.
🏡 Elevate Every Season with Decorative Grilles
If you want to make an architectural statement, consider Tableaux Decorative Grilles. These unique spring home décor window updates and wall accents bring design drama and character to any season—especially in archways, sidelights, or large transom windows.
Crafted from lightweight faux iron, they create the look of wrought iron without the heavy cost or installation headaches. Use them as window overlays, privacy screens, or even as artistic room dividers.
💡 Go Smart with Motorization
From early sunrise wake-ups to cozy movie nights, having control at your fingertips makes every season more comfortable. Our motorized window treatments allow you to adjust your shades or blinds with a remote, app, or even voice command.
Connect to Alexa, Google, or a home automation hub to program your window coverings to open with the morning light or close for evening privacy. It’s one of the easiest, most impactful upgrades you can make—and perfect for year-round energy savings and convenience.
👀 Layered Looks That Transition Seamlessly
One of the top designer tricks for year-round style is layering. Combine roller shades or woven wood shades with soft drapery panels for a balanced blend of function and flair.
This look works in every season: airy and light in spring, rich and warm in fall. The best part? You can swap out drapery panels seasonally while keeping your core shades in place.
🔍 How to Choose the Right Window Treatments
Choosing the right revamping window styles comes down to three things:
- Light Control: Do you need full blackout, filtered light, or UV protection?
- Style: Are you aiming for modern, classic, coastal, or rustic?
- Function: Do you want cordless, motorized, or top-down/bottom-up options?
Our in-home consultations make it easy to decide. We’ll bring sample books, fabric swatches, and expert advice—so you can feel confident you’re choosing the best option for your home and lifestyle.
