Locally & Family-Owned — Serving the Greater Eastside

Piper Strand — Owner  |  Dan Osincup — Design Consultant

Thank you for visiting Made in the Shade Bellevue! We’re a locally, family-owned business proud to serve the Greater Eastside — including Bellevue, Medina, Mercer Island, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah, Sammamish, and Preston. We bring the full luxury showroom of custom shades, shutters, blinds, drapery, outdoor shades, decorative grilles, and smart motorization directly to your door — so you can see how Pacific Northwest light and your own rooms affect every choice. From brightening a gray winter to controlling summer glare on a floor-to-ceiling window, our first goal is simple: make certain you are completely comfortable and fully informed with your window covering choices.

Meet Piper Strand

Piper is the mom of two boys, an avid trail runner, adventurer, and general lover of the outdoors — and a 40-year resident of the Issaquah-Sammamish area. She’s excited to serve her community and offer quality custom window treatments at the best price. Her business model is built entirely around the complimentary, in-home consultation: sit down for a few minutes to talk through what you’re interested in, then see the samples so you can make an informed decision — completely comfortable and educated about every choice.

We recently worked with Made in the Shade in Bellevue, and we couldn’t be happier. Daniel was awesome — super friendly, knowledgeable, patient and really took the time to help us find the right shades within our budget for our bedroom. He made the whole process really easy, from the first consultation to the installation. We felt like we were in great hands the entire time. The quality of the blinds is excellent, and they look amazing — clean, modern, and exactly what we had hoped for. What really stood out was the level of care Daniel brought to the entire process. It’s rare these days to find this kind of top-tier customer service, and we couldn’t be happier! https://mitsbellevue.com/

We had a great experience working with Piper. She came to our house with samples and we were able to order new shades for our entire house within the hour. We got three different shades for different areas. The motorized shades are sleek. Ours work by remote, and we can raise and lower them from both the top and botton. Expensive, but worth the cost. Much less expensive were the same shades with pulley cords, something my husband preferred. Quality materials. Quality service. You definitely get what you pay for at Made in the Shade Follow up - This was our experience 3 years ago, and we LOVE our shades. The motorized one in one room needed charging but the charger was thrown away somehow during another project. No problem, I emailed Piper, and the next day, she delivered a new one, no charge. Doesn't get any better.

We chose to use Made In The Shade- Bellevue for a refresh in our business waiting area. Piper made the selection process a breeze. She came out to our location with lots of samples, took the time to listen to our requirements, and showed us the best options. The project turned out great and her installation folks were quick, thorough, and clean. 5 stars plus for Piper and her crew. We'll definitely use MITS- Bellevue again with our future blind needs!

Huge upgrade for our bedroom, study and bathroom. Love the material and the ability to move them from both the top and bottom depending on time of day, window aspect, etc. The product look and feel and function exceeded our expectations, Piper steered us in the right direction for style and fabric, and all-in the consult and installation probably only took 15-30 min. out of two days.

I had a great experience with Made In The Shade. From start to finish, their service was excellent—friendly, responsive, and professional. They made the whole process easy and stress-free, and the blinds turned out even better than I expected. The quality is outstanding and everything looks great in my home. Installation was smooth and done right the first time. I’d definitely recommend Made In The Shade to anyone looking for high-quality window coverings.
