Window Treatments for Every Style.

Beat the Texas Afternoon Sun

Aggieland summers are long, hot, and bright. Solar shades block heat and up to 99% of UV to lower your energy bills and stop fading, one local business installed ours just to block the afternoon sunlight.

Smart Shades, Effortless Control

Roller shades are our top pick and they go smart with motorization for the tall, hard-to-reach windows of Bryan and College Station homes. One customer calls their motorized blinds “worth every dime.”

The Showroom Comes to You

Locally owned by Amanda Krotulski. We bring hundreds of samples to your Bryan or College Station home, measure precisely, and match them in your own light. 4.9 stars, financing available.

Free In-Home Consultation

Top Brands. Local Owner. The Showroom Comes to You.

Finding the right window coverings shouldn’t mean driving around Bryan–College Station to a showroom. Made in the Shade Aggieland brings the full mobile showroom to your living room. Because the Texas sun hits every home differently, Amanda and the team help you compare fabrics, opacities, and finishes right where they’ll be installed — from a new build in College Station to an established home in Bryan or a business across the Brazos Valley.

Whether you need solar shades to block the afternoon sun, smart roller shades for tall windows, or plantation shutters for timeless style, we measure precisely and design each treatment to your exact windows. Free consultation, financing available.

Roller Shades Hallway HM

Custom Window Fashions for Every Style

Choosing the best window treatment is essential in showcasing your unique style. Our solutions for all types of windows will blend seamlessly with your overall interior design. Window treatments improve the look of your space and provide privacy, control light, and save on energy efficiency. We carefully craft each custom treatment to your specific measurements and desired decorative and functional features, including motorization options.

Shades

Block the Afternoon Sun, Lower Your Bills

The Texas afternoon sun heats your home and fades your furnishings. Solar shades block the heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters — giving your AC a break — while honeycomb shades add insulation for the long cooling season. Roller shades are our featured top pick, and they go smart with motorization for tall windows. Add blackout roller shades for bedrooms.

Shutters

Timeless Texas Style & Energy Efficiency

Plantation shutters are an Aggieland favorite — timeless, upscale curb appeal plus permanent home value. Their solid louvers add real insulation that eases your AC in the summer heat, and they’re a durable, elegant fit for the great rooms and large windows of Bryan and College Station homes. Choose the warmth of wood or the durability of composite for kitchens and baths.

Blinds

Classic Style, Custom-Fit for Texas Homes

From rich real wood to durable faux wood, our custom blinds deliver precise light control and a tailored fit that big-box sizes can’t match — including the large and specialty windows of Aggieland homes. Faux wood resists moisture and won’t warp in kitchens and baths; vertical blinds handle wide patio sliders. Amanda and the team measure every window precisely for a flawless fit.

Outdoor Shades

Reclaim Your Patio from the Texas Sun

The Texas sun can make a patio unusable by mid-afternoon. Exterior patio shades and retractable screens block UV and radiant heat, cut glare, and add privacy — turning a sun-baked patio, porch, or outdoor kitchen into a comfortable space you can actually enjoy. Retractable awnings add shade on demand. Manual or motorized, built for the Aggieland climate.

Drapery

Softness, Texture & Designer Style

Custom drapery adds the finishing designer touch — softness, texture, and an extra layer of light control against the bright Texas sun. Layer drapes over shades for depth and a sophisticated, finished look on both small windows and large great-room windows. Tailored to your exact windows from thousands of premium fabrics, with motorized tracks available.

Decorative Grilles

Architectural Character for Your Home

Decorative faux-iron grilles add instant architectural character to arched windows, entryways, transoms, and bare walls — a distinctive, high-design touch for Aggieland homes, from ranch-style to Spanish and modern architecture. They deliver the timeless look of hand-forged wrought iron without the weight, adding custom curb appeal that stands out.

Absolutely LOVE this local franchise of Made In The Shade. We were looking for a specific shade for a baby nursery. The owner came and provided numerous suggestions and ideas that we had never even knew existed. She personally measured and as soon the the product arrived she called and scheduled install. It was all so timely and done perfectly before babies arrival! Looks great with our nursery theme and blocks enough light out of babies room. Highly recommend Amanda & her team!

They set up shutters in our master bedroom to keep the room nice and dark for daytime naps! Shutters looked great, blocked the light great, and they provided very friendly and proffesional service. Great people and an absolute pleasure to have met them!

We built a new home and connected with Made in a Shade and had a great experience! Very professional couple. Bends over backwards to provide great service. Even with the crazy supply chain issues and current environment we live in, she was able to keep us updated, set expectations and provide a high quality product and a great value.

I mostly knew what I wanted, but didn’t really know where to start. When Andy showed up, he was attentive and listened to what I wanted, then showed me a few options and told me he would have them up by the end of the week. The next day he showed up, installed and was done so fast. He even went and wiped all the window sills and asked if he could dispose of my old blinds for me. Amazing customer service and quality materials. We have had them now for over two years now. Still in brand new condition. Snug, sturdy, and beautiful. To top it all off, they were cheaper then their competitors. Can’t highly recommend this company enough. Thank you from a thoroughly satisfied customer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Treatments in Aggieland

How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in Aggieland?

Custom window treatments typically range from under $100 to over $1,000 per window. The price depends on the product, window size, material, operating system, motorization, and number of windows, so an exact quote requires measuring the actual windows.

That’s why Made in the Shade Aggieland includes a free in-home consultation – Amanda and the team measure every window precisely, show samples in your home’s real light, and tailor the quote to your project. Financing is available.

What window treatments are best for blocking the hot Texas afternoon sun?

Solar shades are the top choice for the Aggieland sun – they block the sun’s heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters, keeping rooms cooler and stopping fading. Roller shades (our featured top pick) go smart with motorization, and honeycomb shades add insulation to lower your energy bill.
