The Shade Store
About
The Shade Store is a national maker of premium custom window treatments, and its Harvard Square showroom gives Cambridge shoppers a place to see shades, blinds, curtains and drapery in person. The company stocks more than 1,300 exclusive fabrics and materials, from classic linen, cotton, wool and silk to woven woods, natural grasses, blackout and sheer options, plus collections created with well-known interior designers.
Every window treatment is handmade to order by craftspeople in the company’s own American workrooms, then hung and tested for quality before shipping. The brand traces its heritage to 1946 and has been shaped by three generations of window treatment makers. Design consultants work with homeowners and design-trade clients from mood boards and swatches through installation, offering in-person and virtual consultations, photo renderings and a dedicated measure and install team.
