Window coverings

I was in the market for window coverings for my new custom built home. After calling several companies to come out and give me quotes and ideas, ades of Home (Marie) was the only one that offered to come by the house and walk through and take measurements personally first. The others wanted me to either come by the showroom for to take measurements myself first. As a result I went with Shades of Home for my project. Marie was professional, knowledgeable and provided me with many suggestions. She helped me pick out beautiful fabrics for the bedrooms, media room, office and laundry room, and roman shades for my kitchen. For the family room and other kitchen windows Marie recommended roller shades. For the bathrooms, horizontal sheers were installed for a soft look. Installation was quick and efficient and they came on the scheduled date given. I am pleased with the end result and the service Shades of Home provided. I would recommend them to anyone.

So glad I kept searching

I spent many months, earlier this year, searching for drapery for my new apartment. While I didn't want to re-invent the old pinch pleat drapes my Mom had in the 1980's I really do not like the current style (which seems to be everywhere) of grommet or rod pocket panels.

I was determined not to give up and was so happy when I found Shades of Home's website. As soon as I saw their photos of the ripple fold drapes I knew I had to go and see them. Made an appointment and visited their shop on Caledonia Road. Met with Marie and she helped me select the perfect fabric for both my living room and bedroom. Marie also set up a time to meet me so she could take custom measurements. I was impressed because it's an older building an to say that each room had a few irregularities would be an understatement. Marie told me not to worry... and she was right.

My drapes were delivered on the date promised and the installers were terrific. I am so glad that I took my time and even happier that I was able to work with Shades of Home. Great service... superb quality... highly recommend.

Windsor Coverings

We moved into our new house about 2 years ago and contacted Shades of Home to assist us with selecting new living room and dining room window coverings.
They visited our home, suggested several different options and installed the blinds on time and professionally. Everyone we spoke with was courteous and responsive to our needs.
About a year later we recommended Shades of Home to my sister and she was also very pleased with the service and product she purchased.
We recently replaced shutters in our kitchen and den area and Shades of Home again provided us excellent service and quality workmanship.

New blinds in our sun-room

We needed new blinds in our sun-room. After a rigorous search we contacted Marie at Shades of Home. They came to the house to give us an estimate and to give us a recommendation on the kind of blinds we should have. We dealt with both Marie and Steve. They were very professional, courteous, and friendly. The work was done in a professional manner. We are very happy with their work and the new blinds. Highly recommended.

Thank you Ruth
I know the delay you experienced getting your new windows installed meant the installation of your window coverings from Shades of Home was delayed until all the dust settled.
I'm happy that we were able to help put the finishing touches to your home.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Thanks for the review. I know Marie was extremely happy with the valances, fixed drapery panels and the full drapery in the living room bay and I am happy that you are as well. She's looking forward to helping you with your bedrooms when that time comes.

Thanks very much for letting us into your home and helping with your decor and window coverings.

Drapes for New Condo

A friend recommended that I consult with Marie for drapes in my living room and two bedrooms. I have a busy schedule but was going to consider a couple of other alternatives. That was not necessary. Shades of Home clearly understood what I was looking for and provided me with options that fit my budget. The installation process was very efficient. The team showed up on time and the job was really well done. I felt like Shades of Home cared about my home just as they would if it were their own. And the end results are amazing! I highly recommend their service.

Window Treatments

With a joint living and dining space, our aim was to achieve symmetry with a casual style that suited both a sitting area and eating area. The spaces also required some privacy.

We visited the design centre which was followed up with an in-home consultation with a designer. The process was exceptional with samples left at our home so we could live with the fabrics to get a feel for what we liked best.

After our selection was made, we had sheer horizontal blinds installed for privacy and non-functional drapes for style and the finishing touch. The installation was only a few weeks after our order was placed.

The measurements were on spot and the installer was clean, organized and professional.

Shades for whole house

To describe "Shades of Home" would mean to use words as "excellent, desirable, professional, courteous, and overall awesome experience".
They have great people in sales, installation and their customer service is up there with the best in any industry.
We will definitely recommend Marie and her expertise to our friends and relatives and even complete strangers.

We're blushing! We try to be as responsive as we can to each client and we do like hearing how the client feels about the whole process from start to finish. I can't get Marie to stop smiling. Thanks so much for the glowing review.
