If your living room or family room gets a lot of sunlight, you already know the struggle: harsh glare on the TV, fading furniture, and rooms that heat up like a sauna by mid-afternoon. Enter: Solar Shades — a sleek, modern solution that blends beauty, comfort, and technology. At Made in the Shade Greensboro, we specialize in custom solar shades that give you the sun control you need without sacrificing your view. The best part? We’ll Bring The Showroom To You! Our Free In-Home Consultation makes it easy to find the perfect fit, right from your sofa.

What Are Solar Shades, Exactly?

Solar shades are engineered fabrics that filter sunlight while maintaining your view to the outside. They’re perfect for open-concept living spaces, family rooms, or any spot where you want to reduce glare and UV exposure without closing off your space. Think of them as sunglasses for your windows!

Why They’re Perfect for Living Rooms & Family Rooms

  • ✔️ Reduce Glare (Without Going Dark): Watching a movie or game in the middle of the day? These shades cut out glare on your screens while still letting in soft, filtered daylight.
  • ✔️ Protect Your Furniture & Floors: Solar shades block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, keeping your home looking newer, longer.
  • ✔️ Keep It Cool: Solar shades help maintain cooler indoor temps, which means your HVAC won’t have to work as hard—and that means energy savings.
  • ✔️ Maintain the View: Unlike blackout shades, solar shades let you enjoy the outdoors even when they’re down.

Smart Home Ready: Cordless & Motorized Options

We proudly provide cordless and motorized solar shade systems that pair beautifully with modern living.

  • Cordless: Child- and pet-safe, offering a clean, minimalist look.
  • Motorized: Controlled with a remote, voice assistant, or smart home system.

Tailored to Your Space, Installed by Pros

Every solar shade is custom-crafted to fit your windows perfectly, with professional measuring and installation handled by our team. Choose from a variety of textures, openness levels, and designer colors to match your décor.
