Custom Made Blinds & Shades

Many people have never stopped to consider how light effects the color of shades and blinds placed on windows.  The color of light actually changes dramatically from day to day, and from morning to night.

Sunlight early and late in the day can skew heavily towards warm colors such as reds and yellows.  Mid day sun is probably the most natural color, but light reflected onto a shaded window from a deep blue sky can be very blue, even on a sunny day.    Heavy tree foliage reflecting sunlight onto shades can move towards a green cast.  Cloudy days are very blue.

When nighttime comes, the light striking your shades from inside will be rather reddish if from incandescent bulbs, and perhaps a bit towards green if from fluorescent tubes.

What’s this all mean?  Basically, your blinds and shades will never be the same color from day to day.  In addition, shades on windows facing two different directions will undoubtedly be different colors at the same time.  Learn to enjoy the different colors.  It’s all part of nature and the beautiful world we live in.  Let your window blinds and shades be a part of the ever changing color.
