A family business, built on doing it right the first time.
I grew up in the window covering business — literally. From a young age, I was working alongside my family's blind business in Indianapolis, learning every side of it: cleaning blinds, installing them, sales, ordering, and the customer service that ties it all together. I learned early on that the real work isn't just hanging a shade — it's making sure a customer feels taken care of, especially during something as stressful as building or renovating a home.
A couple of years ago, I moved to Charlotte and saw an opportunity to bring that same hands-on expertise to homeowners across the Carolinas. Shades of Carolina is built around that same philosophy: treat every home like it's the only one that matters, get the details right, and never let a customer settle for less than they should expect.
Our focus is simple — a great customer experience, top-quality products, and fair, honest pricing. That's it. That's the whole business plan.
Find Your Style
Pick a category to see what's available and what might look and fit best in your home.
Roller Shades
Clean, modern, and easy to fit into any décor, with real control over light and privacy. Fabrics run from soft sheers to full blackout, so there's a fabric and a price point to match.
Best for: bedrooms, media rooms, home offices, and storefronts.
Woven Wood Shades
Made from bamboo, grasses, reeds, and other natural fibers, woven wood shades bring warm texture and soft, filtered light into a room. Each one is hand-woven, so no two patterns are exactly alike.
Best for: anyone who loves natural materials and sustainable sourcing.
Zebra Shades
Zebra shades use a dual-layer design of alternating sheer and solid bands. Slide the layers to line up or offset them, and you get endless positions between wide open and fully private, instead of just "up" or "down."
Best for: rooms where you want your shades to keep pace with the light through the day.
Honeycomb / Cellular Shades
Honeycomb shades trap air in insulating pockets, which helps keep a room more comfortable year-round and can meaningfully cut heating and cooling costs, while softening sound and light. They come in single, double, and triple-cell builds, in hundreds of colors and textures from sheer to full blackout.
Best for: sunrooms, home offices, and any room that runs hot or cold.
Blinds
From classic mini blinds to vertical blinds for larger openings, and everything in real wood or faux wood in between, blinds are a practical, budget-friendly way to control light and privacy in any room.
- Real wood: warm, natural grain that's great for dry living spaces.
- Faux wood: holds up beautifully in bathrooms and kitchens where moisture is a factor.
Best for: practical, budget-friendly light control in any room. We'll match the style and material to the room.
Shutters
Quality shutters turn a window into a real architectural feature and become a permanent, lasting fixture in your home, from classic plantation designs to modern composite materials. We partner only with manufacturers known for solid construction and finishes that hold up for decades.
- A personal consultation to find the right style and material for each room
- Custom manufacturing for a precise fit, no matter the window shape or size
- Expert installation from technicians who respect your home and your time
- A lifetime warranty on non-motorized products, for real peace of mind
- Access to premium brands with the best materials and construction available
Real vs. Faux vs. Composite Wood
The right material depends on the room, the look you want, and your budget. Here's the short version:
| Feature | Real wood | Faux wood | Composite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Look | Genuine grain, warm and natural | PVC-based, wood look | Engineered wood core |
| Moisture | Best kept to dry rooms | Fully moisture-proof | Resists moisture better than real wood |
| Best in | Living rooms, bedrooms, offices | Bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms | A solid middle ground between the two |
| Good to know | Lightest of the three | Heaviest of the three | Middle ground between the two |
