As we bid farewell to 2024, we at Made in the Shade Bellevue want to celebrate the incredible journey this year has been. We’ve had the pleasure of working on some of the top window projects of 2024, creating cozy, modern living rooms and stylish, functional kitchens. We are proud to transform homes in Bellevue with our custom window treatments that reflect each client’s unique style.
Transforming Living Spaces: The Year’s Most Stylish Window Blinds
Our most popular choice this year was undeniably our custom window blinds, thanks to their versatility and timeless appeal. These blinds added elegance and functionality to homes in Bellevue.
You can improve your window styles by motorizing them for smart-home use. This allows them to work well with your home automation system. You can control your blinds or shades from a smartphone app or use voice commands.
One standout project was a modern living room in Kirkland with casement windows. Sleek faux wood blinds matched the minimalist style. They provided privacy and controlled light. The designer finished these blinds with a warm oak tone that seamlessly blended with the room’s natural elements.
Kitchen Glow-Ups: Dual Shades and Decorative Grilles
2024 saw an increase in demand for kitchen window coverings that combine practicality with a touch of luxury. One memorable project featured roman shades, which allowed a Bellevue family to easily switch between filtered light and full privacy.
To elevate the design, we incorporated decorative grilles into a client’s kitchen archways. These custom veneer designs added a creative touch, making the kitchen both beautiful and functional.
Bedrooms That Invite Comfort: Cellular Shades Take the Lead
Few products match the comfort and energy efficiency of cellular shades, which became a top pick for bedrooms this year. Their insulating properties helped homeowners keep a cozy atmosphere in every season. Their customizable fabrics ensured a perfect match for any decor style.
In a Snoqualmie home, we created cellular shades in soft pastel colors. These shades featured a top-down, bottom-up option for flexible light control, creating a calm space for both parents and baby.
Outdoor Living Redefined: Sun Shades for All Seasons
As outdoor living spaces become more popular, outdoor sun shades are now essential. They help make patios and decks usable all year long.
We installed motorized solar shades around a family’s covered patio in Redmond. These shades provided UV protection and complete privacy during summer barbecues. The addition of smart motorization made it simple to adjust the shades with a single tap on their phone.
A Touch of Elegance: Sheer and Zebra Shades
For homeowners seeking a blend of style and practicality, sheer shades and zebra shades were the ultimate choices. Sheer shades softened the natural light, while zebra shades gave a modern look with alternating bands of light-filtering and blackout fabrics.
Motorization: The Smart Home Revolution
In 2024, motorized window treatments became more popular than ever, offering convenience and luxury to Bellevue homeowners. These motorized solutions perfectly complemented various home designs.
A highlight of the year was a Medina estate where we automated roller shades throughout the home. The family could adjust the shades to suit their mood, whether for a cozy movie night or a sunlit morning.
