As we near the end of another year, we love reflecting upon our clients’ window covering favorites! At Custom Shades of London, we strive to bring the ideal combination of style and atmosphere into Ontario homes. Do you have an upcoming project? Take a look at this top 10 list to see if your own favorites are on here, and let us know if something new catches your eye!
1. Roller Shades
Simple stunning, there’s no better way to describe roller shades. They are simple and stunning, all at once! Today’s modern rollers feature the easy operation they have been known for, but with the latest innovations, they smoothly adjust with a low profile design. With a wide selection of fabrics in patterns, colors and textures, it’s no wonder they are at the top of our window covering favorites!
2. Drapery
Inviting fabrics into a room instantly changes the feeling of the space. It’s softer, more coordinated. That’s what custom drapery does, immediately adding a beautiful layer of style. In addition, drapes are a dynamic way to block the light and increase energy efficiency in Ontario homes!
3. Wood Blinds
Wood blinds have been a staple at the window for decades. Customizable in regard to slat sizes, stain colors, hardware and trim, it’s a beautiful option for introducing light control and privacy into your home. We also offer stringent safety standards for blind cord safety, allowing you to cover your windows with wood blinds, while removing the risks.
4. Window Shutters
When you love the look of structure and uniformity at the window, window shutters are a beautiful option. Most often, for Ontario homeowners, it’s our vinyl shutters that are most popular. They come in a range of whites, with customizable details centering on the tilt bar, louver size and operating features. Our Palm Beach collection of shutters is available with motorization.
5. Gallery
We’ve started a gallery of recent work! While it’s nice to see window coverings from anywhere, it’s especially refreshing to see window treatments styled in Ontario homes by our team of professionals. These homes feature similar layout challenges, window types and issues that you’re very familiar with. Check back to see more projects as they get added.
6. Cellular Shades
The winter’s can certainly get chilly here, and we are always on the lookout for energy savings! We love offering our award-winning Duette Honeycomb Shades for anyone who is facing a drafty home in the winter. These cellular shades create a barrier at the window, insulating your home from the natural elements beyond the window. It doesn’t just work in the winter. In the summer, if you have windows that face the sun, cellular shades provide that same insulation, keeping your home cool.
7. Motorization
Life is hard–let us help you make it easier. Coming in at number 7 on our window covering favorites is motorized blinds. It’s with good reason! Automating your window treatments takes the stress out of adjustments. No more struggling to reach high windows, behind couches, or making adjustment after adjustment to make them look “right.” We offer a variety of levels of motorization, from one tap on a remote, to app adjustments, or even smart home integration.

8. Roman Shades
Absolutely timeless, roman shades are one of our most-loved window treatment options. Available in fabrics that feature specialty patterns, colors and textures, you can also find romans made of natural fibers or exclusive materials. We even have rolling roman shades that offer a designer look with a low profile design and simple operation.
9. Repairs
Our Custom Shades installation team is happy to help you repair window coverings, from Hunter Douglas products to any other brand–as long as we can obtain the parts to do the job right!
