Select from a vast collection of shades to suit any style. Choose Roman shades for softness and tailored elegance, cellular shades for serious energy efficiency through Maryland's temperature swings, solar shades to block UV without losing your view of the harbor or backyard, innovative sheer shades, or woven wood shades for organic texture and warmth.

Our plantation shutters offer a timeless character and built-in insulation that performs year-round in the Mid-Atlantic climate. Because so many Baltimore homes feature original or non-standard window frames, every shutter we install is measured and built to fit that specific opening, never forced into a stock size. Choose from premium hardwoods, moisture-resistant composites for kitchens and baths, and a full range of louver sizes, frame styles, and finishes.

We offer motorized window treatments with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation for energy efficiency and convenience.

Beyond the convenience, motorized treatments meaningfully improve energy efficiency and extend the life of your fabrics by managing sun exposure throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you offer on-site consultations for historic homes in Roland Park or Mt. Vernon?
A: Absolutely. We’re used to the odd angles and unique windows you find in Baltimore’s historic districts. Our team knows how to get a perfect fit without touching or damaging your original molding—we treat those historic details with the respect they deserve.
Q: How do I choose fabrics that won't fade in sun-drenched rowhomes?
A: If your home gets blasted by the afternoon sun, we usually suggest Hunter Douglas solar shades or lined drapery. They’re great for blocking UV rays before they start fading your furniture or flooring.
Q: Can you help with soundproofing for homes near busy city streets?
A: Absolutely. Our custom heavyweight drapery and cellular shades are excellent for sound absorption, helping to dampen city noise and create a quieter indoor environment. Clients near Charles Street, the JFX, and the harbor regularly tell us the rooms feel noticeably quieter once their treatments are installed.
Q: What's the typical timeline from first consultation to installation?
A: Each custom window treatment project is its own timeline depending on the fabrics, hardware, and workroom schedule. Stock items and standard sizes can move faster, while fully custom drapery and specialty shutters sit on the longer end. We'll give you a clear timeline up front and keep you updated at every step of the way.
Q: Do you handle measuring and installation, or just the sale?
A: We handle the entire process in-house, from initial measurement through final install. Precise measuring is one of the most important parts of any custom treatment. Since a fraction of an inch off can ruin the look of an otherwise beautiful drape or shutter, we never leave it to chance. Our installers are employees, not subcontractors, and they treat every home like their own.
Q: Do you offer child- and pet-safe cordless options?
A: Yes, we recommend cordless options for any home. Nearly every product line we carry is available in cordless, motorized, or retractable-cord configurations, and our designers will walk you through the safest options for nurseries, playrooms, and family spaces.
Q: Can you repair or restring existing window treatments?
A: In many cases, yes. If you have an existing Hunter Douglas product that needs repair, call us and we'll let you know whether repair makes sense or whether replacement is the better long-term investment.
Q: Do you work with interior designers and trade professionals?
A: We do. Designers across the Baltimore area rely on our showroom, fabric library, and in-house workroom for projects of every size, and we offer trade pricing and dedicated support for design professionals. If you're a designer interested in working with us, reach out and we'll set up an introduction.
