Custom shades are made-to-measure window coverings designed to control light, privacy, and heat based on your exact window size and room use. Professional Shades designs, manufactures, and installs custom shades in New York City within 7–10 days, including manual and motorized options for apartments, townhouses, and commercial spaces across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New Jersey.
What Custom Shades Are Best For ?
Custom shades are ideal when standard sizes fail to fit NYC windows correctly or when light control and privacy need to match specific room functions. Bedrooms typically require blackout or room-darkening shades, while living rooms and offices benefit from light-filtering or solar fabrics that reduce glare without blocking views.
Each shade is built to your exact window measurements to ensure clean lines, smooth operation, and consistent coverage.
Custom Shades Designed for NYC Homes and Offices
Custom shades must account for unique New York conditions such as oversized windows, high-rise sun exposure, and mixed residential-commercial use. Professional Shades designs shades specifically for city apartments, lofts, brownstones, offices, and retail spaces.
Installations are completed by local technicians familiar with NYC building layouts, wall materials, and mounting constraints.
Fabric Options and Light Control Levels
Custom shades are available in multiple fabric categories, each serving a specific function:
- Sheer fabrics for daylight diffusion and soft privacy
- Light-filtering fabrics for glare reduction
- Blackout fabrics for bedrooms and media rooms
- UV-resistant fabrics to protect flooring and furniture
- Textured and decorative fabrics for visual depth
Fabric selection is guided during the consultation based on room orientation and daily use.

Motorized Custom Shades (Smart Control Options)
Motorized custom shades provide hands-free operation through wall remotes, mobile apps, or voice assistants. These systems integrate with Alexa and Google Home, making them suitable for high windows, large spans, or daily automation.
Motorization improves durability by reducing manual handling and allows scheduled opening and closing for energy efficiency.
Measurement, Fabrication, and Installation Process
Every custom shade project follows a structured process:
- On-site consultation and precise measurement
- Fabric and control selection
- Custom fabrication to exact dimensions
- Professional installation and system testing
This process ensures accurate fit, smooth operation, and long-term reliability.

Most custom shade projects are completed within 7–10 business days from final approval. Service areas include Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New Jersey. All work is coordinated through the Professional Shades design studio located at 137 W 14th St, New York, NY 10011.
Pairing Custom Shades with Other Window Treatments
Custom shades can be layered with additional treatments for enhanced aesthetics and performance. Drapes and curtains add softness and insulation, while cornices provide architectural structure. Solar shades are recommended for sun-facing rooms where heat and glare control are priorities.
