How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in Venice?

Custom window treatments typically range from under $100 to over $1,000 per window. The price depends on the product, window size, material, operating system, motorization, and number of windows, so an exact quote requires measuring the actual windows. Made in the Shade Venice includes a free in-home consultation — owners William and Sinead Runyon measure every window, show samples in your home's real light, and tailor the quote to your actual project. Call (941) 499-5945 to book.

What window treatments hold up best in Venice's Gulf Coast humidity and salt air?

Moisture-resistant composite (faux wood) shutters and blinds are the best choice for Venice. Unlike real wood, they won't warp, crack, or grow mildew in Gulf Coast humidity and salt air, and they're easy to clean. For heat and glare, solar shades block the intense Florida sun while preserving your view. Many Venice homeowners combine composite shutters in humid and lanai-adjacent rooms with solar or cellular shades in living areas.

Are you locally owned?

Yes. Made in the Shade Venice is locally owned and operated by William and Sinead Runyon, who personally handle the consultation, measuring, and installation. You work directly with the owners, not a call center or a big-box retailer. They're based right here in Venice at 871 Venetia Bay Blvd and serve Venice, Englewood, and North Port.

Do solar shades really lower energy bills in Florida?

Yes. Solar shades block the sun's heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters, easing the load on your AC through Florida's long cooling season. Because Venice runs the AC nearly year-round, that heat rejection can meaningfully lower your electric bill. They also protect floors, furniture, and artwork from the intense Florida sun while preserving your view.

How does the free in-home consultation work?

Made in the Shade brings the showroom to you: William and Sinead come to your home, review products and samples in your actual Florida light, take professional measurements, and give you a quote. After you order, they handle professional installation for a precise fit. No showroom trip needed — you compare colors and textures against your own walls, floors, and lanai light.

I highly recommend Made in the Shade for your window treatments. William was very easy to work with and provided great options to help me choose my perfect shades for the sunroom. Josh provided  quick and professional installation. Both guys were so polite and helpful. I LOVE my new shades. I wanted to diffuse the sunlight but keep my beautiful view. The product is a 10/10 and the entire process was only 2 weeks from consultation to final install.

We just had Made In The Shade Venice (MITS) put an awning across our entire 28 foot wide patio lanai opening. We love it! It allows us more time on the patio and it looks great! William of MITS was polite, professional and a pleasure to work with. The price was very competitive. Highly recommended.

I will be ordering more blinds from this company, soon! Turned out better than I expected! User-friendly and absolutely love the way you can set the shades on automatic turn down. Cannot be happier with the shades. Great customer service and very knowledgeable.

Most importantly, William CALLED US BACK! So many others couldn’t be bothered. Came right out, measured, listened, and gave us a more than fair price, right away.  On install date, he was out here with his crew and made sure everything was done right and all cleaned up and ready to go. We highly recommend Made in the Shade. Our awning looks much nicer than the big old umbrella that we had before.
