House of Shades DOES NOT provide repair and servicing for products that were not made or sold by us. We only repair and service window treatments for our existing customers who purchased their products directly from us. Thank you for your understanding .
At House of Shades, the difference matters — because a window treatment that’s right for your space does more than block light. It shapes the feel of a room, controls the brutal Arizona heat, protects furniture from UV fade, and gives a home the kind of finished look that’s hard to describe but immediately obvious.
Our Scottsdale showroom at 2708 N 68th St STE 1 is where that process starts. It’s not a big-box experience. There’s no warehouse, no generic catalog, and no commissioned salesperson pushing you toward whatever has the highest margin. What we have is a team of designers who know Arizona homes, a curated selection of the best window treatment brands available, and the workroom infrastructure to build whatever you need from scratch.
There are plenty of places to buy window blinds in Scottsdale. Here’s what separates House of Shades from the alternatives:
We’re not a franchise or a national chain operating a satellite office in Arizona. House of Shades was built specifically for this market. We understand how intense afternoon western exposure affects a south-facing great room. We know the difference between a Paradise Valley estate and an Arcadia bungalow in terms of how window treatments need to perform. That local knowledge shapes every recommendation we make.
Most window treatment dealers source from third-party manufacturers and cross their fingers on quality. House of Shades has an exclusive partnership with Dressed To Kill, a boutique drapery workroom located just blocks from the showroom. Every custom drape, curtain, cornice, and pillow produced for House of Shades clients is made there — by the same team, to the same standard, on every order.
Our consultants don’t sell by the square foot. They ask about how you live in the space, what times of day are the most uncomfortable, whether you have pets or kids, and how much maintenance you’re realistically willing to do. Those answers shape a recommendation. Visit Design Expert Sanja Gotikj‘s profile to understand the kind of thinking that goes into our approach.
We handle the measuring, the ordering, the fabrication coordination, and the installation. When the job is done, everything should operate properly and look exactly as discussed. If it doesn’t, we fix it — no runaround.
Shades are the workhorse of the Arizona home. They handle the most sun exposure, get the most daily use, and contribute the most to energy performance. At House of Shades, shades are available in roller, Roman, cellular, zebra, solar, sheer, and layered styles — each with light-filtering or blackout liner options. Motorization is available across virtually every style
Blinds offer precise, adjustable light control in a format that suits traditional and contemporary interiors alike. We carry wood, faux wood, aluminum, and vertical blind options — sized to fit standard and non-standard windows. Cordless and motorized lift systems are available for child safety and smart home compatibility.
Drapes do something shades and blinds can’t: they add softness, dimension, and a layer of warmth that transforms the atmosphere of a room. Our custom drapes are designed in-showroom and fabricated by Dressed To Kill in every major pleat and heading style.
Curtains range from casual, everyday fabric panels to structured statement pieces. We offer a wide selection of materials — from breezy linen sheers to rich velvet blackouts — all cut and sewn to your exact window measurements.
Shutters are a long-term investment in a home’s character and light management. Our custom plantation shutters are built to fit — including arched, angled, bay, and oversized windows — and are available in bypass configurations for sliding glass doors
Our motorized window treatments integrate with Lutron Caséta, RadioRA, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and other platforms. Whether you want to schedule shades to rise with the sun or use a single button to close everything for an afternoon movie, we handle the selection, programming, and installation.
Large glass openings need different solutions than standard windows. We offer panel track blinds, vertical shades, bypass shutter systems, motorized drape tracks, and cellular shade configurations built specifically for patio and sliding glass door applications.
Valances and cornices are the finishing touch that give a window treatment installation its completed, polished look. We offer custom fabric valances and wood-wrapped cornices in styles that range from clean and architectural to softly gathered and traditional.
The Dressed To Kill workroom doesn’t stop at windows. If you want bedding, throw pillows, or other soft furnishings that coordinate with your window treatments, we can produce those from the same fabric palette.

Solar shades and cellular (honeycomb) shades are two of the best performers in Arizona. Solar shades reduce glare and UV without closing off the view. Cellular shades create an insulating air pocket that slows heat transfer significantly. For rooms with heavy afternoon exposure, combining a solar shade with a drapery panel gives you the greatest range of light and temperature control throughout the day.
Yes. We regularly work with arched windows, angled frames, bay windows, skylights, and unusually wide or tall openings. Our measuring process is thorough enough to accommodate almost any shape, and in cases where standard products won’t work, we have custom fabrication through Dressed To Kill to build treatments that fit correctly.
A House of Shades consultant comes to your home with fabric samples, hardware options, and a measuring kit. The visit typically takes 60–90 minutes depending on the number of windows involved. You’ll see how samples look in your actual light conditions and against your existing décor. At the end, you’ll have a clear recommendation and a quote — no pressure, no follow-up sales calls.
Yes. We offer cordless lift systems and motorized options for every product category. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has established safety standards for corded window coverings, and we take those seriously. Cordless and motorized are our default recommendation for any home with children or pets
Absolutely. Mixed systems are common and often the right call from a budget and functionality standpoint. Your consultant can map out which windows benefit most from motorization and which are fine with manual operation.
