"3 Day Blinds found it necessary to return to the house a second time to remeasure the windows which delayed the time to manufacture and ship the blinds. As a returning customer, the discount 3 Day Blinds applied to the cost of the blinds was very favorable. However, the amount quoted for installation was absurd for only four windows and one patio slider. As a result, we opted to install the blinds ourselves."

"Our experience with Wendy was outstanding! She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Wendy assisted us with moving away from dull paint colors and old window sheer/swag treatments and she directed us to consider more modern custom Roman shades (which we love) and modern paint color ideas. Wendy discussed everything from the floor to the ceiling and those conversations got us thinking to the point where we had our hardwood floor replaced (with hardwood, but in an updated style and color). Wendy brought visible ideas via photos, paint samples, and window treatment samples. She spent time with us and discussed several options to consider for updates. When the time arrived for us to start the remodeling process, she shopped for the window treatment fabric, which we selected from her samples. Wendy's advice and suggestions took our living room and dining room from old and dingy to modern and inviting. Wendy is a wealth of knowledge and we highly recommend her services!"

"I am so happy with A Shade Modern. They came highly recommended to me by a friend and colleague. They were very patient with me as Iâ m very busy and felt too overwhelmed to pick out what I wanted at first, so they were kind enough to leave samples with me and do some design pictures until I was satisfied with my selection. I had a goal in mind of having a very minimal, clean look as we just installed new bronze windows. I didnâ t want the window cartridge to look bulky and take away from the windows when the shades were open, and Amber helped find the perfect bronze cartridge to house the shades when they are rolled-up, so that the bronze cartridge blends seamlessly into the window design. I am SO happy with the results! They were wonderful to work with and I highly recommend them!"

Custom window treatments cost $800 per window, ranging from $150 to $3,000 for materials alone, before labor is factored in. Blinds are the most economical option, while custom curtains and drapes are more expensive due to intricate designs and premium materials. The final cost depends on your style preferences, material quality, and the complexity of the installation.
Mini blinds are the most cost-effective window treatment available, providing efficient light control and exceptional value. They offer the lowest cost option at $600 per set and serve as a dependable solution for budget-conscious homeowners. Roller shades and valances offer cost savings by avoiding premium materials, ensuring that quality design and functional installations remain uncompromised.
Prices increase with larger windows, premium materials, and additional labor for complex installations. High-grade fabrics, hardwoods, intricate designs, and motorized hardware all contribute to the total cost. For instance, drapes run more than Roman shades because they use more fabric and detailing. Still, a well-chosen treatment pays you back in style, privacy, and insulation.
Layering treatments—say, a sheer shade paired with floor-length drapes—adds depth and polish to any room. Sticking to one color family keeps the look cohesive while mixing textures boosts dimension, sound absorption, and energy efficiency. You also gain flexible light control, shifting from full sun to total blackout without swapping hardware.
Energy-efficient window treatments lower energy costs by minimizing heat transfer through advanced fabric technology and design. They block excessive sunlight while maintaining a consistent indoor temperature, thereby reducing the demand on heating and cooling systems. They retain heat in winter and keep your home cool in summer, maintaining year-round comfort and producing measurable savings on electric bills through superior energy management.
Bay, picture, and dormer windows rarely pair well with shutters because their unique shapes demand more flexible coverings. For a cleaner fit and better performance, choose treatments tailored to those dimensions—think custom shades, drapes, or valances that accentuate the architecture instead of competing with it.
