In our related article, we showcased how one East Texas business transformed its office with natural custom shades. At Made in the Shade East Texas, we know a well-designed workspace can boost productivity, improve comfort, and create a lasting impression on clients.
Why Window Treatments Matter in the Workplace
The right window covering is more than a decorative touch. It affects lighting, temperature control, privacy, and overall ambiance. A well-planned solution can reduce glare on computer screens, cut energy costs, and support employee well-being.
Many East Texas offices still rely on outdated blinds that are hard to operate and inefficient. Modern products like
solar shades, roller shades, and motorized bamboo window shades offer sleek designs with advanced functionality.
Choosing the Right Shade for Your Office
Every workspace is different, so the ideal shade depends on your office layout, light exposure, and design goals.
During our free consultation, we bring samples and guide you through options:
- Solar Shades – Perfect for reducing glare without blocking natural light. Popular for open-plan offices with large windows.
- Roller Shades – Clean, minimal design with a wide variety of fabrics, including blackout options for conference rooms.
- Natural Custom Shades – Add texture and warmth to reception areas or executive suites while maintaining style.
- Motorized Shades – Integrate with smart office systems for easy light control at the touch of a button.
- Tableaux Decorative Grilles – Create a bold design statement while controlling light and privacy.
Designing for Comfort and Productivity
Lighting affects everything from mood to efficiency. Poor lighting can cause eye strain, headaches, and fatigue.
Strategic use of dual shades or zebra shades allows you to switch between filtered light and complete privacy.
In our previous case study, the business chose a layered approach with solar, roller, and motorized shades. The result? Less glare, more comfort, and improved energy efficiency.
Energy Efficiency Benefits
Energy costs can be a major concern for businesses in East Texas, especially during the summer. Products like cellular shades provide insulation that helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures. Solar shades block heat while keeping spaces bright.
The U.S. Department of Energy reports that well-chosen and eco friendly window coverings can reduce heat gain by up to 77% in summer months. This means real savings for your business.
Motorization and Smart Office Integration
Motorized window treatments are not just convenient—they can be programmed to adjust throughout the day,
maximizing natural light and minimizing energy use.
Our team can integrate shades with voice control systems or centralized office automation platforms.
