Roller Shades

Product Overview

Fabric Type

Roller shades come in a variety of fabrics to suit your needs—from soft, light-filtering textures to durable blackout materials. Whether you want a gentle glow or complete privacy, there’s a fabric that fits your style and function.

For homeowners seeking tailored solutions, custom roller shades let you choose the exact opacity, weave, and color that work best for each room, ensuring a precise fit for unique window sizes and architectural details. You can pair decorative fabrics in living spaces with room-darkening liners in bedrooms, or select moisture-resistant options for kitchens and bathrooms. Beyond aesthetics, the right fabric can improve energy efficiency by reducing heat gain, helping maintain a comfortable indoor temperature throughout the day. Consider how each room is used—home offices often benefit from glare reduction without sacrificing daylight, while nurseries may call for enhanced privacy. With professional guidance on measurements and material performance, you can create a cohesive look across your home that also supports comfort, durability, and easy maintenance.

Lift Systems

Pick a control method that fits your lifestyle. Go cordless for a clean, minimalist look, choose a continuous loop for smooth operation, or upgrade to motorized shades for smart, remote-controlled convenience.

Motorized options integrate with voice assistants and home automation systems, enabling scheduled adjustments that align with sunrise and sunset to improve comfort and energy efficiency. For families, cordless mechanisms enhance child safety by eliminating dangling cords, while continuous loop systems are ideal for larger, heavier fabrics that require consistent tension. If you’re investing in custom roller shades, you can fine-tune lift speeds, power sources, and remote configurations, from rechargeable batteries to hardwired setups. Consider adding a wall switch or app-based control to coordinate multiple windows at once—especially useful in great rooms or homes with high, hard-to-reach windows. With the right control method, your shades become both a design feature and a practical daily convenience.

Indoor or Outdoor Mounting

Decide how your roller shades are installed. Inside mounts sit within the window frame for a sleek, built-in look. Outside mounts provide more coverage and light control—ideal for rooms that need a blackout solution.

When complete darkness is a priority, blackout roller shades perform best with an outside mount and optional light-blocking side channels to minimize glow along the edges. This setup is especially helpful in bedrooms, nurseries, and home theaters where ambient light can disrupt sleep or screen visibility. For shallow frames or uneven openings, an outside mount can also help achieve a straighter visual line and cover minor imperfections. If you prefer a minimalist style, inside mounts showcase the window trim while still offering effective glare control. Measure carefully to account for bracket depth and fabric roll clearance, and consider how the mount style will interact with existing window hardware, casings, and nearby decor to create a polished, functional finish.

Controlling Light

Choose how much light you want to let in. Sheer fabrics offer soft, natural light. Light-filtering options add privacy while keeping things bright. And blackout fabrics create complete darkness—perfect for bedrooms and media rooms.

For the most versatile setup, layer custom roller shades with drapery or top treatments to fine-tune brightness and frame the window. Sheer materials can reduce harsh glare on screens without closing off the space, while light-filtering weaves balance daytime privacy with a welcoming ambiance. If you need better sleep hygiene or light control for shift work, blackout roller shades paired with a secure mount and minimal light gaps can dramatically darken the room. Consider the direction your windows face—south- and west-facing rooms often benefit from stronger light management—and think about color; darker fabrics typically enhance glare reduction, whereas lighter tones reflect heat and help maintain a bright, airy feel.

Color

With a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures, our roller shades can blend in or stand out. Whether you’re going for a modern neutral or a bold statement, we’ll help you find the perfect finish.

From matte linens and crisp wovens to subtle jacquards and high-performance blackout textiles, every choice impacts both style and function. Selecting custom roller shades allows you to coordinate finishes across open-plan spaces, match existing trim or hardware, and choose designer details like decorative hems, contrast bindings, or fabric-wrapped cassettes. For contemporary interiors, streamlined fascias and low-profile brackets keep sightlines clean, while textured fabrics add depth to minimalist palettes. If durability is a priority, consider easy-clean materials that resist fading and moisture, ideal for busy households and sunny exposures. We’ll guide you through swatch comparisons in natural light so you can see how colors shift throughout the day, ensuring a cohesive look that complements your furnishings and enhances the overall feel of your home.

Rich was awesome to work with. Super responsive and had great suggestions for our windows, since we are first time homeowners and didn't really know what to get. He also went the extra mile for us when the shutters on our long windows didn't look quite right, and now they look fantastic! Very happy with Cali Coast and will definitely order from them again if we need any other window coverings.
