House of Shades Locations in Scottsdale, AZ — Showroom & Designer Workroom

- Locations
Two Locations. One Standard of Craft.
House of Shades operates from two distinct Scottsdale locations, each built to serve a different side of the window treatment experience. Walk into the showroom on N 68th Street to touch fabrics, see hardware, and work one-on-one with a design consultant. A few blocks away, the Dressed To Kill workroom is where every custom drape, curtain, valance, and soft furnishing takes shape — cut and sewn with precision by skilled fabricators who specialize in nothing else.
Together, these two spaces reflect a single commitment: that every window in every Arizona home deserves something made specifically for it, not pulled off a shelf.
Two Locations. One Standard of Craft.

Prefer to stay home? We bring the showroom to you. Our in-home consultations are available throughout the Phoenix metro. A consultant arrives with fabric samples, hardware options, and a measuring kit — everything needed to make confident decisions in the space where the treatments will actually live.
Dressed To Kill — The Boutique Designer Workroom
Located at 2921 N 68th St Suite 2, Scottsdale, AZ 85251, Dressed To Kill is the fabrication studio behind every custom soft window treatment House of Shades produces. This is not a retail space. It is a precision workroom staffed by fabricators who spend their days matching patterns on floor-length drapes, hand-sewing pinch pleats, and calibrating motorization-ready header tape to within a fraction of an inch.
What Dressed To Kill Produces
- Custom drapery — pinch pleat, ripple fold, goblet, euro pleat, grommet, and tab-top styles
- Custom curtains in sheers, blackout, and performance fabrics
- Valances and cornices — tailored to frame your windows with architectural intent
- Side panels designed to layer beautifully with shades or blinds
- Custom bedding, throw pillows, and soft furnishings to coordinate full rooms
- Pattern-matched panels for large-scale or repeat fabrics
- Lined, interlined, and blackout-lined treatments built to Arizona’s thermal demands
- Motorization-ready headers integrated with Lutron and other smart home systems
Who Dressed To Kill Works With
The workroom operates on a trade-only model, accepting projects exclusively from House of Shades clients and credentialed interior designers. If you are a homeowner working directly with House of Shades, your custom soft treatments will be fabricated here. If you are a designer interested in production support, contact the workroom by appointment to discuss project requirements.
Why Two Locations Work Better Than One
Most window treatment companies separate their retail experience from the production side — and the seams show. Samples don’t match what gets made. Lead times stretch because outside vendors are involved. Quality varies because no one person owns the outcome from start to finish.
House of Shades built a different model. The showroom and the workroom sit within a mile of each other and operate as one team. When a consultant specifies a pleat depth or selects a lining weight in the showroom, the workroom that produces it is the same group they’ve been collaborating with for years. That proximity produces consistency — in quality, in communication, and in results.
Products Available Across Both Locations
Roller, Roman, cellular, zebra, solar, and sheer styles with light-filtering and blackout options
Floor-length, custom-pleated panels fabricated in the Dressed To Kill workroom

Frequently Asked Questions — Our Locations
Do I need an appointment to visit the Scottsdale showroom?
Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Friday during regular business hours. Saturday visits require a scheduled appointment. Booking ahead is always a good idea — it ensures a design consultant is available to spend focused time on your project rather than fitting you in between other clients.
Can homeowners work with Dressed To Kill directly?
No. The Dressed To Kill workroom is trade-only, meaning it serves interior designers and House of Shades clients. If you’re a homeowner, the fastest path to custom fabrication from the Dressed To Kill team is to book a consultation through House of Shades directly. Your consultant will handle the project specifications and workroom coordination on your behalf.
How far does House of Shades travel for in-home consultations and installations?
We serve a wide footprint across the Phoenix metro area, including Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Glendale, Peoria, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, Biltmore, Cave Creek, Fountain Hills, and Surprise. We also serve select northern Arizona communities including Sedona, Prescott, Flagstaff, and Payson. Call (480) 336-3427 to confirm availability in your zip code.
How long does it take to receive custom window treatments after ordering?
Lead times vary depending on the product type and current workroom production schedule. Motorized shades and blinds from major brands typically ship within 2–4 weeks of order. Custom fabricated soft treatments — drapes, curtains, valances — are generally completed within 3–6 weeks. Your consultant will provide a more accurate estimate based on current production timelines at the time of order.
Can I see motorized shade demos at the showroom?
Yes. The Scottsdale showroom features working motorized displays so you can experience how Lutron-integrated shades, remote-controlled blinds, and app-connected drape tracks operate before committing to any purchase.
Does House of Shades work with interior designers?
Absolutely. House of Shades has a dedicated trade program for interior designers, architects, and contractors. Trade professionals get access to the Dressed To Kill workroom for custom fabrication, preferred pricing, and a streamlined collaboration process. Visit the Who We Work With page for more details.
What brands are available at the showroom?
