Window Treatments Made for Your Windows
Older Greater Boston homes rarely have square windows. A Colonial in Lexington, a Victorian in Cambridge and a 1960s split-level in Framingham all measure differently. Everything we sell is cut to your opening after a designer has measured it, so the finished treatment sits tight, hangs plumb and operates the same way in year ten as it did on installation day.
Because our design team, workroom relationships and installers all sit under the same roof at 643 Moody St., nobody hands your project off to a third party halfway through. Browse the project gallery to see finished rooms, then book a free in-home consultation.

How It Works
Four Steps From First Swatch to Final Install
- 1
Free in-home consultation
A designer comes to your home anywhere in Greater Boston with fabric books, slat samples and motorized demos, so you see materials in your own light. - 2
Measuring & written quote
We note jamb depth, trim, radiators, casements and tile sills, then give you an itemized quote per window so you can phase work by room. - 3
Workroom fabrication
Panels are cut, lined, weighted and hand-finished. Blinds and shades take two to four weeks; drapery and upholstery four to eight. - 4
Installation & walkthrough
Our installers hang everything, program motors and remotes, clean up and show you how each treatment works.

Visit the Waltham Showroom & Design Studio
Screens flatten fabric. In the showroom you can drape a linen over your hand, lift a woven wood shade, compare blackout linings and hear how quietly a motor runs. The studio sits on Waltham's restaurant row, a short drive from Newton, Watertown, Belmont, Weston and Lexington.

Upholstery & Drapery Together
A Coordinated Room, Not a Collection of Parts
Because we handle both windows and furniture, we can put the same fabric on a reupholstered wing chair and the drapery beside it, or pull a trim color from the sofa into a Roman shade. It is the simplest way to make a room look designed rather than assembled.
Learn about custom upholstery and reupholstery, or if you are an interior designer, see our trade program for design professionals.
"They measured every window in our 1920s house, told us which ones didn't need anything fancy, and the drapery in the living room still stops people in their tracks."

FAQ
Custom Window Treatment Questions
Still have a question? Call (781) 899-1811 or email info@designsinblinds.com.
Pricing depends on window size, fabric, lining, hardware and whether the treatment is motorized. Simple custom roller shades typically start in the low hundreds per window, while lined drapery panels on decorative hardware sit higher. Every quote is itemized after measuring, with no obligation.
