Clean, minimal, and extremely versatile. Roller shades work in every room — from light-filtering sheers in living rooms to blackout fabrics in bedrooms and media rooms.
Custom roller shades are available in a wide range of fabrics: light-filtering, room-darkening, blackout, solar, and moisture-resistant options for kitchens and bathrooms. Every shade is custom-sized to the nearest 1/8 inch and available with motorized operation for hands-free convenience. Motorized roller shades are particularly popular in open-plan living areas and children's rooms throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, and San Bernardino County.
- Light-filtering, room-darkening, blackout, and solar fabrics
- Motorized and manual lift options
- Moisture-resistant fabrics for kitchens and bathrooms
- Custom sizing to the nearest 1/8 inch
Zebra / Transitional Shades
Contemporary light control with alternating sheer and opaque fabric bands. Over 370+ fabrics to choose from.
Zebra shades — also called dual or banded shades — align their woven and open bands to dial in exactly how much light and privacy you want at any moment. Fully aligned opaque bands block the view from outside; fully aligned sheer bands act like a light-filtering curtain. The result is a shade that transitions fluidly between privacy and openness. Available with motorized lift for automatic scheduling — lower them during bright afternoons and raise them again in the evening.
- Available in light-filtering, room-darkening, and blackout fabrics
- Manual or motorized lift systems
- Ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, and home offices
- Custom sizing to the nearest 1/8 inch
Roman Shades
Vignette® Modern Roman Shades with 125+ fabrics. Available with top-down/bottom-up operation and motorized lift.
Roman shades fold into neat, evenly spaced pleats when raised — a look that is simultaneously tailored and soft. Unlike flat roller shades, Romans add texture and dimension to a window even when fully open. The Vignette® collection wraps the fabric around each fold so the back of the shade is just as clean as the front. Add motorization and you can raise or lower them from anywhere — perfect for primary bedrooms and dining rooms where elegant simplicity meets practical convenience.
- Top-down/bottom-up and motorized operation available
- Hobbled, flat, and relaxed fold profiles
- Room-darkening liner options for bedrooms
- Pairs beautifully over custom drapery panels
Cellular / Honeycomb Shades
Duette® Honeycomb Shades for superior energy efficiency. 150+ fabrics and advanced skylight systems available.
Cellular shades trap air inside their honeycomb chambers, creating a thermal barrier between your window glass and your living space. This matters year-round across Southern California: the insulation reduces heat gain through west-facing windows in summer and minimizes heat loss on coastal winter nights. Add motorized operation to schedule them automatically — closing during peak afternoon heat in Riverside and San Bernardino County, opening again as the sun moves.
- Single, double, and triple-cell constructions
- Sheer, light-filtering, room-darkening, and blackout opacities
- Top-down/bottom-up, cordless, and motorized lift options
- Skylight and specialty-shape systems available

Which Shade Is Right for Your Room?
Bedrooms
Room-darkening cellular or zebra shades — or motorized blackout roller shades — are the most requested bedroom choice throughout Southern California. Motorized operation lets you open them without leaving bed in the morning.
Living Rooms
Motorized zebra and Roman shades let you manage glare on television screens and enjoy the view without sacrificing privacy. Both styles work beautifully layered under drapery panels for a fully dressed window.
Home Offices
Light-filtering roller or zebra shades reduce screen glare while maintaining the bright, airy feeling that makes a workspace productive. Motorized operation lets you adjust throughout the day without interrupting your work.
Kitchens & Bathrooms
Moisture-resistant fabric options and motorized or cordless operating systems keep these high-traffic rooms both functional and clean-lined. Motorized roller shades are a popular choice where cords near water would be a concern.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are shades measured and installed?
A Sash & Shade specialist measures your windows in person — inside-mount and outside-mount options are available. We take care of every detail from measurement through installation, so the fit is always exact.
Are motorized shades available for all shade types?
Yes. Every shade style we offer — roller shades, cellular shades, Roman shades, and zebra shades — is available with motorized lift systems. Motorized shades are cordless, safe for children and pets, and can be controlled by remote, app, or schedule.
Can shades be installed on skylights or angled windows?
Yes. Our Duette® cellular shade line includes specialty skylight systems and can be fitted to angled, arched, or oddly-shaped windows that standard shades cannot accommodate.
What is the difference between light-filtering and room-darkening shades?
Light-filtering fabrics diffuse sunlight and reduce glare while keeping the room bright. Room-darkening fabrics block most light and are ideal for bedrooms or media rooms. Blackout liners eliminate virtually all light for the deepest sleep environments.
Do you carry woven wood or natural fiber shades?
Yes — we carry a full range of natural woven shades in bamboo, jute, and grasscloth textures. These are popular in casual coastal homes throughout Malibu, Venice, and Santa Monica. Ask your consultant to bring samples.
