I truly can’t express the high quality and the perfect color match of the shades. I simply love them. They were installed perfectly and Wendy and her team are amazingly skilled and professional. Wendy has a friendly personality and was very knowledgeable and helpful in deciding the choice of the color for the shades. The shades are one of the best investments I have made for our home.

We were super overwhelmed moving into a new home with no window treatments. So we were so lucky to find Wendy with MITS. She was amazing helping us find the right color, size, and depth of shutters and shades to look best in our house. And she was incredibly patient and understanding, coming to the house multiple times, as we pieced different parts of the house together over a few months. We had some unique asks and she accomodated all of them without batting an eye. Even with a small hiccup with one shutter she was quickly resolve it immediately and hand delivered the second one! We are super happy with the outcome and look of our shutters and shades and really appreciated her expertise through this process!

Great business to work with! Wendy was recommended to us by our realtor for our new home, and we consulted with her as well as 2 other companies. She was by FAR the most knowledgeable and spent the most time listening to our concerns. She kept us close to our budget, while also sharing her expertise as to what would be worth splurging vs saving on. Ended up doing a blend of shutters, blinds, and shades for our new home. Could feel her knowledge of the industry and products in her recommendations, and we are so satisfied with the final result. Really happy we chose to work with her!

I urgently needed a new blind for a large window due to security concerns and contacted Made in the Shade. Wendy, the owner, came out within just two hours of my message, which was incredibly reassuring. She took the time to work with me and helped me choose the perfect electric shade that matched my existing shades and had an easy-to-charge battery. The price was fantastic, and the installation was completed very quickly. I’m absolutely thrilled with how the shade looks and how easy it is to use. The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. Made in the Shade is extremely professional, responsive, and helpful. Thank you so much!

We are so pleased with the shades we had installed! Just in the first month, our cooling costs went down! The look and feel have modernized both a studio space and out living room. Wendy was excellent to work with. When one blind was little off, she noticed it way before I would have and immediately guaranteed a replacement. She came back with the new blind, and on the second visit, my dog, Chance fell in love with her. I think Wendy may have to come back and play with Chance on occasion.

WHY NASHVILLE CHOOSES MADE IN THE SHADE

Wendy Owner MITS Nashville

We’re local. We know Nashville homes — from the humid, sun-drenched summers to historic East Nashville windows and modern Gulch high-rises. Every recommendation is filtered through one question: will it perform in Nashville’s heat, humidity, and storm season? We don’t sell anything we wouldn’t install in our own Music City home.

Heat & Humidity Expertise

We source treatments engineered for Nashville: UV-blocking solar shades, insulating cellular shades, and moisture-resistant shutters and faux wood blinds that won’t warp in the humidity.

Flawless Professional Installation

Precision matters in older Germantown and East Nashville homes where frames have shifted over decades. Our in-house team handles laser measurement and flawless fitting — never subcontracted.

Warranties That Mean Something

Generous manufacturer warranties, including limited lifetime coverage against fading and warping on select shutters and shades. Nashville’s sun and humidity are relentless — our warranties stand up to them.

Premium Brands. Local Prices. No Retail Markup.

We leverage our national buying power to bring the world’s leading window covering brands to Nashville homeowners at prices that undercut big-box retail — without sacrificing quality or service. Our showroom carries:

 

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Treatments in Nashville

1. What are the best window treatments for Nashville's heat and humidity?

For sun and heat, solar shades block UV and glare while preserving your view, and cellular (honeycomb) shades add insulation to keep rooms cool and lower your NES bill. For humidity-prone rooms like kitchens and baths, moisture-resistant faux wood blinds and composite plantation shutters won’t warp the way real wood can. Many Nashville homeowners combine solar or cellular shades in living areas with faux wood or shutters in wet rooms.

2. Will window treatments lower my NES bill?

Yes. Cellular shades and plantation shutters reduce heat gain in Nashville’s hot, humid summers, easing the load on your AC. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates cellular shades can cut window heat gain by up to 40%. Since most Nashville homes cool with heat pumps, that summer heat reduction is where the savings show up on your NES bill.

3. What areas do you serve?

We serve Nashville, Davidson County, and Brentwood, including neighborhoods like Belle Meade, Green Hills, East Nashville, Germantown, 12 South, and Sylvan Park. Call (615) 947-0047 for information on coverage of your area — we bring the showroom to you.

4. How does the free in-home consultation work?

Book online or by phone and a local design consultant arrives with a full mobile sample library — hundreds of fabrics, opacities, and finishes. They measure every window and show you each option in your actual Nashville light. No fee, no obligation. Most visits take 45–90 minutes, and you leave with a same-day custom quote.

5. Are motorized shades worth it in Nashville?

For tall windows in Belle Meade estates, big-glass Gulch condos, and hard-to-reach transoms, motorized shades are a practical upgrade. Schedule them to lower during peak afternoon heat to keep rooms cool, or control every window by voice. They integrate with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, and we handle all programming during installation.
