The holidays are right around the corner, and if you’re anything like us, you’re already dreaming of twinkling lights, the scent of cinnamon, and cozy nights by the fire. But before your guests arrive and the stockings go up, it’s the perfect time to elevate your home with stylish and functional holiday window solutions that set the mood and make every room shine.
At Made in the Shade East Texas, we help homeowners across Tyler, Longview, and surrounding areas get their homes holiday-ready with stunning custom blinds, shades, shutters, and drapery solutions — all from the comfort of your living room. We’ll Bring The Showroom To You! And yes, our consultations, measuring, and professional installation are all free.
If you’re looking for a simple but impactful refresh before the guests arrive, here’s how you can prep your holiday window solutions for the most wonderful time of the year.
1. Create a Cozy Vibe with Cellular Shades
Holidays are all about warmth and ambiance — and nothing brings that cozy comfort like cellular shades. These energy-efficient shades not only help insulate your home against chilly East Texas nights, but they also provide a soft, honeycomb texture that’s both modern and inviting.
Choose cordless or motorized cellular shades for a clean, child-safe look and the convenience of raising or lowering them with a remote or voice command (yes, we can connect them to your smart home!).
✨ Tip: Opt for a warm neutral or rich fabric tone to coordinate with your Christmas window décor ideas — from pumpkins to pinecones.
2. Add Holiday Glamour with Sheer Shades
For a look that’s as elegant as a holiday dinner table, sheer shades are your go-to solution. They offer soft light diffusion during the day and privacy when you need it.
Sheer shades are ideal for living rooms, dining spaces, or anywhere guests will gather. And when paired with metallic or jewel-toned holiday décor, they give your windows a glamorous, layered feel.
3. Dress Up the Dining Room with Natural Woven Shades
Bring a touch of organic beauty to your holiday gatherings with natural woven shades. Handcrafted from bamboo, reeds, or grasses, these shades are perfect for East Texas homes looking for earthy sophistication.
Not only do woven shades filter light beautifully, but they pair well with seasonal greenery and natural wood accents — think pine garlands, birch candles, and rattan chargers.
4. Motorized Shades Make Hosting Effortless
There’s nothing more impressive than letting your guests watch the blinds go up — hands-free. With motorized shades, you can set the scene with a single touch or schedule them to adjust automatically throughout the day.
Hosting a holiday dinner? Lower the shades to block glare as the sun sets, then raise them after dessert to reveal twinkling outdoor lights. It’s smart living — and entertaining — at its best.
💡 Motorization is available on most of our products, including dual shades, roller shades, and even Roman shades.
5. Frame the Season with Drapery Side Panels
No holiday home is complete without a bit of drama — and custom drapery side panels deliver it with timeless elegance. Use them to frame your blinds or shades and create a high-end designer look.
We offer custom fabrics from Fabricut, Horizons, and more, so you can match your drapes to your holiday color palette or opt for a luxe neutral that works all year long.
6. Highlight Architectural Details with Decorative Grilles
Add artistry and charm to your space with Tableaux Decorative Grilles, the ultimate statement piece for your holiday home. These faux iron or wood grilles can be used as transom accents, archway panels, or even to conceal wall vents — turning any surface into a festive focal point.
Whether in the kitchen, bedroom, or front entryway, these holiday decoration grilles enhance East Texas interiors with timeless detail and texture.
7. Keep it Kid-Friendly with Cordless Blinds
Have little ones running around? Our cordless blinds combine safety and style — perfect for busy homes during the holidays. Choose from real wood, faux wood, or aluminum, all available with cordless lift for a clean, worry-free festive window treatment solution.
Cordless is also great for pets and helps keep your windows looking neat even during the most chaotic gift-unwrapping sessions!
8. Outdoor Shades for That Holiday Curb Appeal
Don’t forget your patio or sunroom! Our outdoor solar shades help block low winter sun and maintain a comfortable outdoor space for guests — especially in East Texas where holiday weather can still be mild.
Add a few twinkle lights and you’ve got a festive extension of your home that’s perfect for sipping cocoa or holiday cocktails under the stars.
