Made in the Shade shares the convenience of motorized shades and blinds for your Prescott home

Shades are very important for regulating the temperature of an Arizona home. When it gets hot here, air conditioning bills go through the roof! Great quality shades can really reduce the heat in your home by blocking out the UV rays. Made in the Shade outlines the convenience of motorized shades and blinds for your Prescott home.

Take Control
Motorized shades can be controlled by a remote control device - and even your phone - so that you don’t have to disrupt your daily routine. Maybe you were away from home longer than you expected to be, and you want to close the blinds for security. No problem! You can go right to your phone and operate them with a click of a button. But what if you forgot about the shades entirely? No need to worry; the shades can be programmed to automatically close if they detect temperature fluctuations.

Safety
If your home has large windows that extend beyond your reach, safety is a concern as well. Manually-operated shades obviously can’t connect to your phone. If you need to climb a ladder to close blinds too high to reach, you risk a dangerous fall. If you neglect closing those blinds, you risk racking up a huge utility bill. Motorized shades are safe and convenient, and can help reduce energy costs.

Customize
Not only are they safer and more convenient for your home, but motorized shades also are customizable! Shades can really set the atmosphere of your home, whether they’re a dark wood style, fresh and bright white, or even bamboo texture, you can find the shades you want.

If you have manually operated, traditional window treatments, you’re probably bracing for these upcoming summer months in Prescott. Motorized shades take the hassle out of going to work or going about your day and forgetting to close the window coverings.

Made in the Shade shares the benefits of solar shades for your Prescott home or business

With summer coming, Made in the Shade would like to introduce Prescott home and business owners to the benefits of another one of the many choices we offer in window treatments: solar shades.

What are solar shades?
Solar shades are roller shades. The difference between a solar shade and conventional roller shades is the fabric choice. Solar fabric is designed to reduce infrared heat gain and glare. As with all roller shades, the fabric also determines the level of daytime privacy as well as the view when open.

Energy efficiency
The benefit of very large windows in a home or office are often the views, but the downside is the cost to cool the space. Even if your space is not comprised of large windows, all of us know that any area with windows providing a direct east or west exposure can become extremely warm. Rooms with large windows and direct exposure need extra protection from the sun. You not only save money through lower cooling costs but by reducing glare you reduce eye strain. If you're a business owner, reduced eye strain in combination with a more comfortable environment can actually improve your employees’ productivity.

Solar shades can reduce glare, solar heat gain and provide a level of daytime privacy but one fabric can not accomplish all three together. Prioritizing your needs will help you select the perfect solar shade for your home or office. Your choice of the density of the fabric's weave and the color will determine the level of privacy provided and the reduction in both glare and infrared heat achieved.

If you're building your new custom home, redecorating your existing home or are a Prescott business owner looking at new window treatments, Made in the Shade invites you to consider solar shades as one of the many choices available to you.

Made in the Shade discusses decorative faux iron grilles to enhance the windows in your Prescott home

Are you looking for a unique design to add a touch of history or even mystery to your home? Consider the look of wrought iron window coverings. Made in the Shade can install decorative faux iron grilles to enhance the windows in your Prescott home.

Style
Ironwork has been a staple in architecture for thousands of years. The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous examples of iron creations in human history. Modern homes today are using the look of wrought iron for creative detailing and elegant screens on windows. Wrought iron tends to corrode, and it’s also very expensive and heavy. Enter faux iron grilles! They’re resistant to rust, rot, wear and tear.

Ease
You can incorporate faux iron into your home without the heavy weight and hassle of real iron. It is so versatile and can make any house look elegant. Faux iron grilles are made from recycled wood, so they’re easier to install, change, or move. They can be customized to match your home’s decor. Whether it be a metallic finish or a Spanish colonial design, faux iron can make your dream house a reality.

Variety
The environmentally friendly materials they’re made of make them ideal for both outdoor and indoor applications. Depending on what style you like - Victorian, Colonial, or Imperial - faux iron can create any look. They can even be paired with soft window treatments, blinds, or even curtains. And they’re not limited to windows: install them on a ceiling or over an archway for an elegant look.
   
If you want a unique look for your Prescott home’s windows, consider faux iron grilles to add style and luxury. For your free in-home consultation, contact the experts at Made in the Shade today at 928-308-9998. For more information, visit https://mitsyavapai.com.

Made in the Shade: How to upgrade your Prescott home with elegant sheer shades

What are sheer shades? Simply put, they are an elegant, sophisticated combination of a blind and a shade and a beautiful improvement over any basic blind. There's no need to compromise - sheer shades offer the best of both worlds. Made in the Shade hopes Prescott homeowners will consider this striking window treatment for your home.

Sheer Elegance
Sheer shades’ delicate and soft appearance gives off the impression of having almost no window treatment at all and yet they are still very effective at controlling light. The multiple layers of woven fabric spanning each vane is incomparably soft making these sheer shade window treatments a pleasure to view and touch. Their soft fabric also plays a significant role in the quality and amount of light that enters your home.

Light Filtering
Like traditional blinds, sheer shades feature vanes that can be directed to let more light in or block it out, but like traditional shades, sheer shades also feature solid pieces of fabric that run their entire length. Many homeowners think that sheer shades can only be used for light filtering but are not effective at darkening rooms. The fact is that sheer shades are very good at blocking light.

Materials
By utilizing a varied combination of vanes and fabrics in the manufacturing process, sheer shades can be made for darkening rooms, even preventing about 95 percent of light and UV rays from coming into your home, making sheer shades a great option for every room in your home.

If you are searching for a consistent style and design for the custom window treatments in your Prescott home, you won't go wrong with sheer shades. Sheer shades are extremely versatile and, because of their beautiful look and light control, can be installed in any room in your home. Sheer shades can also accommodate every budget.
