The Owner of Made In The Shade Heather's tip on Shutters – A beautiful choice for window coverings:

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again…we LOVE shutters as an option for window coverings!

At our initial consultation, our client let us know that she was interested in adding shutters to the main living areas of her home. We decided upon beautiful Norman Shutters with a 3 1/2″ louver in a standard configuration with a divider rail for light control. During the installation, the client decided to add cafe shutters to her corner windows. We think the combination of the two styles works perfectly in her home!

Our products are backed by the best warrantees in the industry, and these shutters are no exception – they are beautifully crafted, designed to last, and have a limited lifetime warranty that includes fading! Interestingly enough, due to the built-in nature of shutters, they are also the only window covering product that actually adds real value to your property.

Our goal at Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon is to always exceed our customer’s expectations – and with these gorgeous shutters, we can and do! Visit us at www.madeintheshadeblindssaskatoon.com or give Heather a call at 306-280-0632 and expect the best for less!

Not only is this more convenient for you, it allows you to see a variety of choices for your home, surrounded by your colors and furnishings, in your home’s own natural light.

Here Heather shares a tip on Top Down, Bottom Up Shades:

Top Down, Bottom Up Shades – the best of both worlds!

Everyone has different needs when it comes to their window coverings – some of us want more privacy, some want more light control and some want to enhance their decor and create a real “wow factor”. Whatever you are looking for, top-down, bottom-up shades are a wonderful option.

Think of it; the view from the tops of my windows offer the tree tops, the beautiful blue sky and glorious natural light. The view from the bottom of my windows show the parked cars on the street, the roadway, and currently, all of the snow packed and frozen on my lawn! The view is always better when you are looking up…

Now let’s think of the privacy offered by your window coverings. With a traditional bottom up lift, as soon as you raise the shades for some of that glorious light….everyone can see in to your home. With the top-down option, you are free to let the light shine in while keeping your spaces completely private.

Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon offers free in-home consultations so that you can see a wide variety of the best window covering products in your own natural light and your own decor. Let’s get together and discuss the possibilities!

Made In The Shade a Trusted Saskatoon Window Coverings - In Home Design Consultations

Trusted Saskatoon window covering experts!

Here they share a tip on In Home Design Consultations:

Do you ever sit in your home and daydream about all of the interior decorating changes that you’d love to make, but you don’t know where to start? If you’re like me, you might have a million pages torn out of magazines that show off styles that you like, but have no idea how to incorporate into your unique space.

That perfect design combination of color, fabric, and texture is a challenge, and there’s a reason why designers are artists too. It takes practice, experience, trial-and-error, and a fearless attitude to bring your home from just being functional, to also being beautiful. This is where we come in.

We believe that Windows, Walls & Floors are the foundation of every great space. These three elements set the tone for all other design considerations, and when well-thought-out can serve as a base to help you express your style. Our job at Made In The ShFashions is to help you pull these elements together so that your home can express your style and meet the needs of your family’s lifestyle.

An in-home consultation is a great way for you to show us your space and explain your vision. We come armed with samples, swatches, and creativity to help you to achieve the space you've always wished for.

Why choose an in-home consultation?

Most of us are visual learners: It’s easier for you to explain your ideas when we’re in the space with you, and it’s easier for our designers to understand what you mean about that unique wall or distinctive nook when we can see it first-hand.
Colors change based on the environment: Seeing the samples and swatches in your home and in the light that is normal for your space ensures that the colors you choose turn out exactly like you want.
Your living room doesn’t travel well: It’s a lot easier for us to bring the showroom to you, than for you to bring your living room to us.
Sometimes it’s easier to make decisions in the comfort of your own home, without too many choices to create confusion. You can visualize your future space, much more easily when you’re sitting in your present space.

Take a moment to request an In-Home Consultation and let us do the rest for you. You won’t be disappointed.

Made In The Shade Blinds your Trusted Saskatoon Blinds & Window Coverings Expert tip on Window Coverings, Budget and Timelines & What to expect

1. Apr 2014 trusted Saskatoon Window Coverings, Trusted Tips

Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon wants to help you get your windows on the Best Dressed list! They offer free in-home consultations, where they bring the showroom to you. Not only is this more convenient for you, it allows you to see a variety of choices for your home, surrounded by your colors and furnishings, in your home’s own natural light. Made In The Shade Saskatoon are your Trusted Saskatoon Blinds and Window Coverings Experts!

Here Heather shares a tip on Window Coverings – Budget and Timelines – What to expect:

Building or buying a home this year?

There are just so many details and things to think about when you are moving into or building a new home. I can’t tell you how often I have been with a family in their new home, and they have a definite need for window coverings, but have no idea as to what to expect as far as budget, timelines, or even which type of window convering product would suit them the best. We at Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon want to make it easy for you!

Looking at timelines – your consultation will take anywhere between 30-75 minutes (give or take). At your consultation, we can decide on your window coverings and also take accurate measurements of the windows in your home. Your quote will be back to you within 24-48 hours of your consultation. For most custom window coverings, plantation shutters being the exception, the ship time from the manufacturer is between 2-3 weeks. Plantation shutters will take between 4-10 weeks, depending on the size and scale of the project. Most other products (wood or faux wood blinds, cellular or honeycomb shades, roller and solar shades, roman shades, sheers and draperies, etc.) are able to be delivered within 3 weeks of placing the order. Give yourself a little bit of extra time so that everything comes together smoothly. Once your product arrives at Made in the Shade, we will schedule an installation date.

Budget! This is something we all want to know! Made in the Shade Blinds offers a wide variety of choices from a number of manufacturers – Hunter Douglas, Graber, Horizons, Maxxmar, Shade-O-Matic and Norman Shutters – and there is a bit of variance in the price ranges. The size of your windows also plays a factor into your costs…the larger the window, the more pricey the window covering (of course). One of the most cost-effective window covering products would be faux-wood blinds. Fabrics and natural woven woods generally require more of an investment, as do plantation shutters. Pleated, roller and solar shades tend to fall more into the budget-conscious category, and cellulars (depending upon the brand) fall pretty much in the middle of the road. I do think that you would be surprised when you do some comparison shopping!
