5 Custom Shades that Will Transform the Look of Your Room

Elden Draperies, Blinds and Shades • 27 May 2025

Giving your home an interior design refresh doesn't have to mean a renovation. If you like how your home looks but want to give it a low-pressure upgrade that makes a big difference, you need not look further than your windows. New shades are a small addition that can transform a room's look, tone, and feel. Here are some of our favorite custom shades that we think you'll love:

1). Room-Darkening Shades for Bedrooms

Have you ever woken up from a full night’s sleep only to feel groggy? Trace amounts of natural and artificial light seeping through your window treatments can be the cause. That’s why our favorite custom window shades for bedrooms are room-darkening shades. Crafted to block out a majority of incoming light, these shades provide the unparalleled darkness you need for deeper rest. Our cellular shades from Hunter Douglas and Alta® Window Fashions both have room-darkening and blackout fabric options that keep your windows insulated for added comfort and your room dark for exceptional sleep every night.

2). Light-Filtering Shades for Living Rooms

Most modern living rooms feature many windows to open the space and give it an inviting, relaxing atmosphere. While we love all of those large windows, we don’t love the glare or bright spots they can cause. That’s where light-filtering shades come to the rescue. Designed to transform harsh sunlight into a beautiful glow throughout your home, light-filtering shades keep your living room open and airy without any negative side effects from the sun. Silhouette® Sheer Shades by Hunter Douglas are known for their light-diffusing capabilities and beautiful fabrics, making them an excellent choice for those who want to elevate their living room while sticking to their personal style.

3). Roman Shades for Dining Rooms

Dining rooms are the elegant focal point of a house. This is why one of our favorite custom window shades for more sophisticated spaces is Roman shades. Featuring uniform folds that gently cascade down the window, these luxurious window treatments strike the perfect balance between opulence and charm. Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades come in a variety of rich colors and fold styles that pair beautifully with bold, modern, or contemporary dining rooms.

4). Woven Shades for Kitchens

Since kitchens are where fun meals and lasting memories are made, it only makes sense to adorn your kitchen’s window treatments with a style that exudes a charming uniqueness! Often made from organic materials, the weaves of these shades are built to resist bowing and stretching while providing beautifully filtered light and privacy.

Their versatile design pairs well with everything from rustic farmhouse kitchens to modern eateries, making them a versatile addition to the heart of your home. Whether you choose the organic beauty of Hunter Douglas woven shades or the refined beauty of the Natural Wovens collection from Alta® Window Fashions, these shades instantly elevate your kitchen.

5). Roller Shades for Bathrooms

Bathrooms are often home to “hard” accents, such as porcelain vanities, ceramic tubs, and tile floors. To help soften up this space, we recommend adding roller shades to the mix. Sonnette® Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas feature a simple design that beautifully filters light while providing privacy.

Plus, with over 50 fabric colors that range from neutral to bold, these shades can act as the focal point of your bathroom or blend in seamlessly. For even more customization, roller shades from Alta® Window Fashions boast 600 color and fabric options, multiple roll styles, and various top treatments.
