Window Treatments for Every Style.

We’ll bring the showroom to you!

Beat the Gulf Coast Sun

The intense Gulf sun drives up cooling costs and fades your interiors. Solar shades block the sun’s heat and up to 99% of UV while keeping your view.

Built for Coastal Humidity

Gulf Coast humidity warps and molds the wrong materials. We fit moisture-tough faux wood blinds and shutters that hold their shape and finish in baths, kitchens, and humid rooms.

Showroom to Your Door

No retail storefront, no markup. We bring hundreds of samples to your Baldwin County home, measure precisely, and install it right. Top name brands, local service, worry-free warranty.

Free In-Home Consultation

Top Name Brands. Local Service. The Showroom Comes to You.

Finding the right window coverings should not mean a drive across Baldwin County to a showroom. Made in the Shade South Baldwin brings the full mobile showroom to your living room. Because the Gulf sun, the coastal humidity, and your home’s exposure affect every choice, we help you compare fabrics, opacities, and moisture-tough materials right where they will be installed.

Whether you need solar shades to cut cooling costs, moisture-tough faux wood for a humid bath, or plantation shutters for timeless style, we measure precisely and design each treatment to your exact windows. Free consultation, and we install it right.

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

Beat the Gulf Sun, Cut Cooling Costs

The intense Gulf sun heats your home and fades your furnishings. Solar shades block the sun’s heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters, cutting cooling costs while keeping your view, and they are our top pick for the Gulf Coast. Roller shades go smart with ‘Alexa, raise my shades!’, and cellular shades add insulation and energy savings.

Shutters

Timeless Style, Built for the Coast

Plantation shutters add timeless, upscale curb appeal and permanent home value. Their solid louvers block the Gulf sun and add light control, and durable faux wood resists the coastal humidity that warps lesser materials in baths and kitchens. Real wood brings classic warmth to refined, climate-controlled rooms.

Blinds

Moisture-Tough, Custom-Fit

From rich real wood to durable faux wood, our custom blinds deliver precise light control and a tailored fit that big-box sizes cannot match. Faux wood resists the Gulf Coast humidity, mold, and warping in baths, kitchens, and humid rooms, and vertical blinds handle wide patio sliders. We measure every window precisely.

Outdoor Shades

Reclaim Your Patio From the Gulf Sun

The Gulf sun can make a patio unusable by mid-afternoon. Exterior patio shades and retractable awnings block UV and radiant heat, cut glare, help keep the bugs off, and add privacy, so your porch or lanai stays comfortable. They also help keep the rooms behind the glass cooler. Manual or motorized, built for the coast.

Drapery

Softness, Texture & Designer Style

Custom drapery adds the finishing designer touch: softness, texture, and an extra layer of light control against the bright Gulf sun. Layer drapes over solar or roller shades to frame a large window with elegance. Tailored to your exact windows from a wide range 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, and bare walls, a distinctive touch for Gulf Coast and coastal-classic homes. They deliver the timeless look of hand-forged wrought iron without the weight, adding custom curb appeal that stands out.

Locally Owned & Operated

This husband and wife team are great to work with. Ive been wanting a shade on my back porch for some time and I didn’t know who to call. Went online and found this company. The process was so quick and easy and I had my shades up in less than a month. I wish I would have found them sooner.

I’ve never had better service from any company. The appointment was set for 9:30 and they were in my driveway at 9:30. Extremely knowledgeable about what needed to be done with my solar blind and had the job completed in 30 minutes. I could not have asked for a better experience. And if anyone is needing blinds for your home, do yourself a huge favor, call this company and forget calling anyone else. You will not be disappointed for using Made In The Shade!

I wanted to share my feedback from Lydia and Nick with Made in the Shade South Baldwin. They installed professional blinds at our Beach Home in Fort Morgan,Al. From start to finish they were hands on as they guided us through the process from selection to installation.. There customer service was exceptional, all of my follow up questions were answered immediately, the time frame of delivery was before the estimated date. Lastly, but most importantly I received service after the sale and installation was completed, just to make sure I was happy with there product. You guys are amazing!! Cedrick Harmon

My initial text for an appointment was sent on a weekend afternoon and was answered immediately. An appointment was made and they were prompt and prepared several days later. They gave advice when asked, charged a fair price and installed the rooms of curtains when we were out of town. I was really pleased when we came home and everything was done perfectly. In fact we are now having another room done. Would highly recommend Made in the Shade.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Treatments in South Baldwin

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

Custom window treatments usually range from about $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 needs the actual windows measured.

That is why Made in the Shade South Baldwin includes a free in-home consultation. We bring the mobile showroom to you, measure every window, show samples in your home’s real light, and tailor the quote to your project.

What window treatments are best for the Gulf Coast sun?

Solar shades are the top choice. They block the sun’s heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters, which keeps rooms cooler, cuts cooling costs through the intense Gulf sun, and protects floors and furniture from fading, while preserving your view.

Roller shades go smart with ‘Alexa, raise my shades!’, and cellular shades add insulation and energy savings.

Are you locally owned?

Yes. Made in the Shade South Baldwin is locally owned and operated, an independently owned franchise serving Baldwin County. We have no retail storefront, so we bring the full mobile showroom to your home and pass the savings on to you.

You work with a local team from the first sample to the final install.

What window treatments hold up to Gulf Coast humidity?

Faux wood blinds and shutters are built for it. They resist the moisture, mold, and warping that Gulf Coast humidity causes, so they hold their shape and finish in baths, kitchens, and humid rooms where real wood can swell.

We help you match moisture-tough materials to the right rooms during your free consultation.

Can my shades be motorized and smart-home ready?

Yes. Our motorized shades work with all major smart-home devices, so you can say Alexa, raise my shades, or control them by app or schedule. It is ideal for tall and hard-to-reach windows.

What areas do you serve?

Made in the Shade South Baldwin serves Baldwin County and the surrounding areas, including communities like Gulf Shores and Fairhope. The mobile showroom comes to your home anywhere in the service area.

Call (251) 278-2384 to confirm we cover your area. We’ll bring the showroom to you.
