Don’t Let Drafty Windows
Ruin Your Comfort
Historic Windows, Modern Bills
Many beautiful homes in Richmond 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 and lowering your Dominion Energy bill.
The “Fishbowl” Effect
In popular family neighborhoods in Short Pump and Glen Allen, 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 Manakin-Sabot 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 NW Richmond
Made in the Shade brings the showroom to you—serving Tuckahoe, Ashland, and beyond—so you get designer quality, professional advice, and a perfect fit every time.
Convenience for Busy Richmond Families
Between work, school, and activities, you don’t have time to run around 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 an affordable luxury that fits your real life in Glen Allen or Short Pump.


The Gold Standard for Classic Virginia Homes
Nothing complements a classic Virginia home like custom plantation shutters. They are the timeless choice for adding curb appeal and permanent value to the brick Colonials in Tuckahoe or stately homes in Manakin-Sabot. Our shutters provide superior insulation against winter drafts and offer unmatched privacy, making them a true investment in your home’s character.
Create Your Southern Porch Oasis
Enjoy beautiful but humid Virginia summers without the mosquitoes or the intense afternoon sun. Our motorized exterior screens transform your deck or porch into a comfortable, bug-free retreat. Block the glare and add privacy, creating the perfect space for relaxing in Mechanicsville or entertaining in Ashland.

Window Coverings for Every Virginia Season
Living in NW Richmond means enjoying four distinct seasons. Our collection is curated to handle the humid August heat and the chilly February winds. From energy-efficient shades that lower your Dominion Energy bill to timeless drapery, we help you create a home that is comfortable and stylish year-round.
SHADES
The most versatile solution for any room. Our cellular honeycomb shades trap air at the window, providing excellent insulation against both summer heat and winter cold. For modern homes in Short Pump, consider sleek roller shades for a minimalist look, or opt for blackout shades for media rooms and bedrooms.
SHUTTERS
The architectural standard for classic Virginia homes. Plantation shutters add permanent value and curb appeal, perfectly complementing the brick Colonials of Henrico and the stately homes of Manakin-Sabot. They provide a solid layer of insulation and superior privacy.
BLINDS
Achieve a classic look with modern durability. Our genuine wood blinds add warmth to home offices and libraries, while our moisture-resistant faux wood options are perfect for handling Virginia’s humidity in kitchens and bathrooms without warping. Get precise light control with a timeless aesthetic.
OUTDOOR SHADES
Enjoy your deck or porch without the mosquitoes and intense afternoon sun. Our motorized exterior screens transform your outdoor space in Mechanicsville or Ashland into a bug-free, comfortable retreat. Block the glare and add privacy for family gatherings.
DRAPERY
Add elegance and warmth to your formal dining or living room. Layering custom drapes over your blinds adds a finished, designer look that fits perfectly in traditional Richmond homes. The thick fabric also acts as an excellent thermal barrier, stopping winter drafts.
DECORATIVE GRILLES
Enhance your entryway without a major renovation. Faux iron grilles are the perfect addition to transom windows or sidelights common in Glen Allen architecture. They provide the look of custom wrought iron, adding a touch of sophistication that sets your home apart.
