Don’t Let the High-Altitude Sun Ruin Your Furniture (or Your View)
Cheap Blinds Don’t Stop UV Damage
The sun is stronger here than almost anywhere else in the country. Standard big-box blinds might block light, but they often let damaging UV rays pass through, fading your expensive hardwood floors and furniture in a matter of months.
The "All or Nothing" Problem
With off-the-shelf blinds, you usually have two bad choices: block the sun completely (and lose your mountain view) or suffer through the glare. We offer high-performance screen shades that cut the glare while keeping your view of the Foothills intact.
Dangerous High-Reach Installs
Many West Denver homes feature tall, vaulted ceilings to capture the light. Trying to install blinds on a 20-foot window yourself is dangerous and difficult. Let our insured professionals handle the ladders and leveling while you stay safe on the ground.

The Stress-Free Way to Cover Your Windows
Made in the Shade brings the showroom to you—serving Golden, Lakewood, and Arvada—so you get UV-blocking products, professional installation, and a warranty that lasts as long as your home.
Motorized Window Shades
Smart Sun Control for Large Windows
Colorado homes maximize views with massive windows, but they also let in intense solar heat. Our motorized solar shades are the answer. Program them to lower when the sun hits the Rockies to cut the glare and lower your cooling costs, all without blocking your view of the mountains.
Shutters
Insulation for All Seasons
From snowy winters to scorching summers, your windows are the biggest source of energy loss. Plantation shutters act as an extra layer of insulation, trapping warm air inside during a blizzard and blocking heat in July. They offer a classic look that fits perfectly in both modern Golden lofts and traditional Lakewood homes.
Exterior Shades
Wind-Resistant Patio Protection
Enjoy your deck without being blown away. Our motorized exterior screens are built with heavy-duty zipper tracks designed to withstand the high winds of the Foothills. Create a comfortable, shaded outdoor living space where you can watch the sunset over the mountains without the glare or the gusts.
West Denver’s Most Recommended Window Treatment Team
From new builds in Arvada to mountain-view homes in Golden, our neighbors trust us for honest advice and flawless execution. We are proud to hold a 5-star reputation across West Denver for respecting your home, showing up on time, and delivering results that look even better than you imagined.
Window Coverings Built for the Mile High Climate
West Denver homes face a unique challenge: you want to enjoy your mountain views, but you need to block the intense high-altitude sun. Our collection is curated to withstand the Colorado climate, offering materials that resist UV fading and cracking in the dry air while keeping your home energy-efficient during winter snowstorms. We carefully craft each custom treatment to your specific measurements and desired decorative and functional features, including motorization options.
Shades
Cut the glare without losing your view of the Foothills. Our solar roller shades reduce eye strain and protect your furniture from UV damage while keeping your rooms bright. For chilly winter nights, upgrade to cellular honeycomb shades, which trap air at the window to insulate your home against the freezing temperatures.
Shutters
In our dry climate, real wood can sometimes crack. We recommend our premium composite plantation shutters, which offer the look of freshly painted wood but are engineered to resist cracking, peeling, and yellowing under the intense Denver sun. They provide excellent light control for south-facing windows.
Blinds
Get the classic look of wood without the maintenance. Our moisture-resistant faux wood blinds are perfect for the arid Colorado climate, ensuring they won’t dry out or warp over time. Whether you choose wide slats for a shutter-like appearance or sleek aluminum for a modern office, we have a durable solution for every budget.
Outdoor Shades
Maximize your outdoor living in Golden and Lakewood. Our exterior solar screens are built with heavy-duty zipper tracks to hold tight against strong winds coming off the mountains. Block up to 90% of UV rays to keep your deck cool and safe, allowing you to enjoy sunset dinners without the blinding glare.
Drapery
Add a layer of warmth to your home. In West Denver, temperatures drop quickly when the sun goes down. Layering custom drapes over your blinds adds a thermal barrier that stops drafts in their tracks. Choose from hundreds of fabrics to add a soft, finished look to your living room or master suite.
Decorative Grilles
Give your home a custom look that stands out. Faux iron grilles allow you to dress up plain transom windows or high foyer glass without blocking the natural light you love. They are lightweight, rust-proof, and add instant architectural interest to any home in Arvada or Wheat Ridge.
