START WITH THE ROOM

Most people don't shop for a shade. They shop for a problem.

Glare on the TV. A bedroom that's bright at 5am. A slider nothing ever fits. Pick the room and we'll show you what works.

Bedroom

Room darkening & blackout

Living Room

Glare control, keep the view

Home Office

No glare on the screen

Media Room

True blackout, motorized

Sliders & Patio

Vertical, panel & outdoor shades

Kitchen

Easy-clean, moisture-friendly

HOW IT WORKS

Three visits. Zero guesswork.

01

We come to you

Your consultant arrives with the full sample library. You see fabrics and finishes in your own light, against your own walls — the only place the decision actually matters.

02

We measure it exactly

Every opening measured to the sixteenth. Arches, skylights and angled glass included. Your quote is fixed before anything is ordered.

03

We install it clean

Professional installation by our own trained team. We hang it, level it, test it, and take the packaging with us on the way out.

LIGHT CONTROL, MADE VISUAL

Three fabrics. Three very different rooms.

Openness factor is the number that decides how a room feels. Tap through to see what each one actually does — these are real installations, not renderings.
Solar shades

5–14% openness · 86% light through

Keeps the view and the daylight, blocks the UV and the glare. The choice when you have something worth looking at outside.

Light filtering shades

Soft daylight · 48% light through

Softens glare and hides the harsh edges without shutting the room down. The everyday choice for living rooms and kitchens.

Room darkening shades

Near blackout · 4% light through

Blocks essentially all of it. Bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms — anywhere you need it dark at 2pm.

RECENT WORK

Real North Jersey homes. Not catalog photos.

Every one of these is a job we measured and installed ourselves, in the town it says. Manufacturer stock photography looks the same on every competitor site — this does not.

“Our experience with Jose and Made in the Shade North Jersey was excellent. I had looked at various online sites but preferred the in home experience. What a difference it makes to look at samples right in the room where they will hang. I purchased blinds for five rooms and am very happy with my decision to use Made in the Shade. Blinds came quickly and installation was quick and professional.”

Our reply

Sally, thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We're thrilled you preferred the in-home experience — you're right, seeing samples in the actual light and room where they'll hang makes all the difference, and it's exactly why we do it that way. Congratulations on your five newly finished rooms! We're glad the ordering and installation process was smooth from start to finish. It was a pleasure working with you, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything else. — Jose, Made in the Shade North Jersey (And to anyone reading this: if you're weighing online options against seeing samples in your own space, that's exactly what we offer too — reach out and we'll bring the showroom to you.)

“We recently had 12 window shades replaced. Made in the Shade was fabulous from the meeting at our home for the selection to the installation. We choose Light filtering Solar shades with remote. The installation was done both timely and professionally. They are beautiful. I've gotten so many compliments on how they look. I would highly recommend Made in the Shade for window treatments. The options are plentiful. Barbara Albanese”

“For years I have used umbrellas on my deck to shield us from the sun. We have gone through over 10 in the last 15 years as they would blow over, get torn or rust up and not work great.
I found Made In the Shade and Jose was awesome. We installed 2 20’ awnings on the back of our house to cover the full length of the deck.
We are able to operate them with a remote or the app on the phone which makes it so easy to do. Also there are lights in the awnings that make it great to sit outside at night and relax.
Yes it is an investment but worth every penny.

Has truly made entertaining outdoors so much better and comfortable.

I cannot thank Jose and Made In The Shade enough for helping make our outdoor life much more enjoyable.

If you are thinking about an awning then definitely reach out to Made In The Shade as they will not disappoint you.”

Our reply

Thank you, Steve! We're glad to hear that you’re enjoying your new awnings and that they’ve enhanced your outdoor experience. Jose appreciates your kind words, and we're grateful for your recommendation. Enjoy those relaxing nights outside!

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED

You'll deal with the owner. Not a call center.

I'm Jose. I live in West Milford, I run this business, and more often than not I'm the one measuring your windows and hanging your shades. That's why the reviews read the way they do.
Made in the Shade partners with the top manufacturers in the country — showroom quality without showroom pricing. And the consultation costs you nothing either way.
FINANCING AVAILABLE

Do the whole house now. Pay for it over time.

Most people cover one or two rooms because of the check, not the plan. Financing through Regions Bank means you can do it properly the first time.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

The questions we get asked most.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes — no cost, no obligation, and no pressure. We bring the samples to your home, measure your windows and leave you a written quote. You keep it whether you order or not.

How long does the whole process take?

Most orders are manufactured and installed within two to four weeks of your consultation, depending on the product line and how custom the shapes are.

Do you cover arched, angled or skylight windows?

We do — that is often why people call us. Circles, arches, angles, skylights and oversized sliders are all measured, manufactured and installed to fit exactly.

Which brands do you carry?

Hunter Douglas, Alta, Graber, Norman, Horizons, SunPro and Pentagon Security Shutters among others. Our manufacturer partnerships let us offer premium lines at better-than-retail pricing.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Financing is available through Regions Bank, including a 9-month same-as-cash option and low-APR terms up to seven years, subject to credit approval.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in West Milford and serve Bergen, Passaic, Morris, Sussex, Essex and Warren counties plus surrounding North Jersey towns. If you are nearby and do not see your town listed, call us anyway — we travel.

NO COST · NO OBLIGATION · NO PRESSURE

We'll bring the showroom to you.

Pick a time that works — evenings and Saturdays included. We will arrive with samples, measure everything, and leave you a fixed quote whether you buy or not.
