Made in the Shade North Jersey helps local businesses elevate productivity, comfort, and style with tailored natural window treatments. When a local architecture firm in Bergen County contacted our team to refresh an outdated office, we delivered a modern, cohesive solution using premium products from Graber, Norman, Alta Window Fashions, Insolroll, and Horizons.
Client Overview
- Business Name: Local Architectural Firm
- Location: Paramus, NJ (serving the greater North Jersey area)
- Project Size: 2,500 sq. ft. office
- Rooms Serviced: 5 executive offices, 1 conference room, 1 break room
- Window Treatments Installed:

The Problem: Too Much Sun & Zero Style
Before our visit, the team faced daily distractions and comfort issues:
- Harsh glare across monitors and meeting tables
- Poor temperature control from direct afternoon sun
- Outdated, mismatched blinds that clashed with the décor
- Limited privacy in conference and executive spaces
They needed clean lines, consistent finishes, and intelligent light management—without sacrificing outside views or brand presentation.
The Consultation: Design Meets Function
During our free consultation, we performed a full walkthrough with the office manager and partners. We assessed:
- Window orientation and size
- Sun exposure throughout the day
- Existing furniture, finishes, and brand palette
- Preferences for motorization and cordless operation
We brought curated fabric books and live control demos so the team could compare openness factors, textures, and lift systems on-site. That’s the Made in the Shade difference: We’ll Bring The Showroom To You!
The Solution: Stylish, Smart & Seamless
Solar Shades for the Conference Room
In the conference room, we installed solar shades from Insolroll in a 3% openness. This balances natural light with glare control—ideal for presentations and video calls.
- UV protection for finishes and flooring
- Clear views while reducing eye strain
- Clean, minimalist cassettes that complement audiovisual gear
Roller Shades in Executive Offices
Each executive office received custom roller shades from Alta Window Fashions. We specified light-filtering fabrics for daytime work and added select blackout options where full privacy was required.
- Slim profiles that pair with modern casework
- Light-filtering and room-darkening choices for task control
- Smooth cordless and motorized lifts for a tidy, safe workplace
Natural Woven Shades in the Break Room
To soften a clinical break space, we introduced natural woven shades from Horizons for texture and warmth. For teams that love a tailored drape look, natural roman shades are an excellent alternative with similar organic appeal.
- Invites soft, natural light with optional privacy liners
- Eco‑friendly materials that add visual interest
- Coordinates with neutral paint and wood accents
Motorization for the Win
We tied the entire package together with motorized window treatments via a Z‑Wave automation hub. Staff can set scenes, schedules, and one‑touch controls from wall keypads, remotes, or phones. As the sun moves, the office stays comfortable—no manual adjustments needed.
- Energy‑saving automations based on time of day
- No dangling cords; cleaner lines and safer operation
- Seamless integration with existing smart office tech
