Don’t Let Drafty Windows
Ruin Your Comfort
Old Windows, Cold Drafts
Many beautiful homes in Chatham and Summit still have original windows. They look great, but they leak heat in the winter. Our insulating cellular shades and shutters add a thermal barrier, stopping drafts instantly without requiring a window replacement.
The “Fishbowl” Effect
In towns like Cranford and Garwood, homes are close together. Standard blinds force you to choose between sunlight and privacy. We offer versatile solutions that allow you to block the street view while still flooding your rooms with natural light.
Style Mismatches
Cheap plastic blinds look out of place in a sophisticated Short Hills estate. We offer premium wood shutters and designer fabrics that complement your crown molding and hardwood floors, rather than cheapening them.
Now that’s easy, call now!
The Sophisticated Choice
for NJ Homeowners
Made in the Shade brings the showroom to you—serving Berkeley Heights, Scotch Plains, and beyond—so you get designer quality, professional advice, and a perfect fit every time.
Convenience for Busy Families
Between school runs, sports practice, and work, you don’t have time to run around the house adjusting blinds all day. Our motorized shades simplify your routine. Program them to open with the sunrise for a gentle wake-up call, or close instantly for privacy during family dinner. It’s affordable luxury that fits your real life.
The Gold Standard for Classic NJ Homes
Nothing complements a Northern New Jersey home like custom plantation shutters. They are the timeless choice for adding curb appeal and permanent value to historic Colonials in Westfield or classic Tudors in Summit. Our shutters provide superior insulation against winter drafts and offer unmatched privacy, making them a true investment in your home’s character and comfort.
Create Your Private Outdoor Oasis
Enjoy beautiful New Jersey summers without the mosquitoes or the intense afternoon sun. Our motorized exterior screens transform your deck or patio into a comfortable, bug-free retreat. Block the glare and add privacy from neighbors, creating the perfect space for entertaining in Short Hills or relaxing in Mountainside.
Window Coverings for Every Season
Living in Northern New Jersey means enjoying four distinct seasons. Our collection is curated to handle the humid August heat and the freezing February snow. From energy-efficient shades to timeless drapery, we help you create a home that is comfortable and stylish year-round.
Shades
Insulate All Year & Lower Your PSE&G Bills
New Jersey’s four seasons demand shades that work in summer and winter. Cellular honeycomb shades trap insulating air to cut heat gain in humid summers and hold warmth in through snowy winters — lowering your PSE&G bills year-round. Add solar shades for glare and UV control, or blackout roller shades for bedrooms. Cordless and motorized options for every room.
Plantation Shutters
Timeless Elegance & Permanent Value
and estates — timeless architecture that adds permanent home value. Their solid louvers insulate against the cold and block summer heat, and premium composite options handle high-moisture rooms beautifully. A designer favorite for bay windows and formal spaces.
Blinds
Classic Style, Custom-Fit
From rich real wood that suits a traditional NJ colonial to durable faux wood for kitchens and baths, our custom blinds deliver precise light control and a tailored fit. Faux wood resists moisture and won’t warp in humid summers; vertical blinds handle wide patio and deck sliders with ease.
Outdoor & Patio Shades
Extend Your Outdoor Season
Make the most of NJ’s beautiful spring, summer, and fall. Exterior patio shades and retractable awnings block sun and glare, cut heat, and add privacy — turning a deck, patio, or three-season porch into a comfortable outdoor room. Motorized options adjust at the touch of a button.
Drapery
Designer Softness, Warmth & Elegance
Custom drapery adds the finishing designer touch — softness, texture, and an extra layer of insulation that adds warmth during a New Jersey winter. Layer drapes over shades or shutters for a sophisticated, multi-dimensional look while lowering your heating bills. Tailored to your exact windows from thousands of premium fabrics, with motorized tracks available.
Decorative Grilles
Architectural Character for Fine Homes
Decorative faux-iron grilles add instant architectural character to arched windows, entryways, transoms, and bare walls — a refined fit for the Golden Triangle’s historic and estate homes. They deliver the timeless look of hand-forged wrought iron without the weight, adding a custom, high-design statement that impresses.
