Our Story
Locally Owned, Venice Proud
Made in the Shade Venice is owned and operated by William and Sinead Runyon, part of the national Made in the Shade family of independently owned window-fashion businesses. You get the selection and buying power of a respected national brand, backed by the care and accountability of a local, family-run team that lives and works right here in Southwest Florida.
With over three decades of combined industry experience, we built our business around one simple idea: the best place to choose window treatments is in your own home, against your own light, walls, and views. We bring the full showroom to you, measure every window ourselves, and handle professional installation, so the finished result fits your space and the way you live.
Gulf Coast homes have needs a big-box store can’t speak to. Intense west-facing sun, salt air, humidity, lanais, and pool cages all shape the right choice. We help Venice homeowners select the fabrics, materials, and motorization that stand up to the Florida climate while matching how each room is actually used, from blinds and shades to plantation shutters, drapery, and exterior shades and awnings.
We proudly serve Venice, Nokomis, Osprey, South Venice, North Port, Wellen Park, and the greater Sarasota area. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or outfitting a new build in Wellen Park, we make the process easy from the first free in-home consultation to the final install.
