The Custom Shade by Innovative Openings is rooted in over 40 years of specialized expertise in window covering manufacturing and retail. Since 1980, our family-owned business has proudly served Colorado, providing high-quality, custom solutions for homes and businesses. Our journey into manufacturing roller shades began with a simple yet ambitious mission: to deliver exceptional, locally made products that embody craftsmanship, durability, and style.
We established The Custom Shade to bring our decades of experience directly to your fingertips, making premium, custom-made roller shades accessible online at a fraction of the cost of major logo brands. By manufacturing shades in-house and shipping them directly to you, we eliminate unnecessary markups, ensuring affordability without compromising on quality. Our shades are designed to outlast and outperform generic big-box store options, offering a superior, long-lasting solution for your window covering needs.
Our headquarters in Louisville, Colorado, is the heart of our operations, where every shade is meticulously crafted and rigorously tested to meet our exacting quality standards. We are deeply committed to keeping our manufacturing and operations local, supporting the Colorado community, and maintaining a sustainable, American-made product line.
Our dedicated and experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way, helping you select the perfect shades to match your style, needs, and budget. When you choose The Custom Shade, you’re not just choosing a product—you’re supporting a legacy of quality, innovation, and local craftsmanship.
Love these products!!! We used custom shade for our whole house. We did the partial blackout for the living spaces and full blackout for our bedrooms. The partial blackout still allows for natural light to come into our rooms and the full blackout is amazing for our bedrooms. Set up was very easy, we will be using the custom shade for our future needs! – Daniel C.
Thank you for our awesome shades! I highly recommend ordering from The Custom Shade. We live in Washington state and purchased shades for three good sized windows that get strong afternoon sun. We were very pleased with the quality of the shade fabric with just the right amount of sun block while maintaining a clean, smooth look when lowered (fabric-wrapped cassette pulls it all together). The online ordering process was convenient and easy to use and the shades were delivered quickly and fit our windows perfectly. Our favorite shade features are the motorized option (remote control and Alexa-enabled) and the ability to set the timing of the shades to raise and lower on a schedule. You won’t be sorry if you order these shades. – Julie S.
