Made in the Shade gets 5 Stars from me! From my first inquiry to the final installation, we’re very pleased. Having them bring samples to me, do the measurements and offer suggestions for the best results was so much better than visiting a showroom. The timeline for producing our custom shades was reasonable and they delivered as expected. The entire family team could not have been more professional and knowledgeable about their products. They installed natural material blinds throughout my home. Love them all! I would highly recommend them!

We had a very positive experience with Made in the Shade Baton Rouge. Ken and Zach worked with us in choosing the colors and fabrics of the shades. They installed 7 roller shades and took the time to adjust each one and setup the app and remotes. We are now thinking about more shades in the future and they will be our first choice.

I have used this company in multiple occasions and I find them to be very professional, very transparent about pricing, options and what would be best for my home. I have been extremely satisfied with every installation and encounter I have had with Ken and his team. I would recommend them 10/10. I included photos of my porch with the newly installed remote control shades as well as my Roman shades and custom blinds I had installed last year.

I recently purchased window shutters from Made in the Shade, and I have to say, working with Ken was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Ken was professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain all the options, helped me choose the perfect style for the windows, and made sure everything was measured and installed perfectly. His attention to detail really shows in the final result.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Treatments in Baton Rouge

1. What window treatments hold up best in Baton Rouge's humidity?

Moisture-resistant composite (faux wood) shutters and blinds are the best choice for Louisiana. Unlike real wood, they won’t warp, crack, or grow mildew in Baton Rouge’s relentless humidity, and they’re easy to clean. For heat and sun, insulating solar shades and cellular shades are ideal. Many homeowners combine composite shutters in humid rooms with solar or cellular shades in living areas.

2. Will window treatments lower my Entergy bill?

Yes. Insulating solar shades block the sun’s heat before it enters your home, giving your AC a break, and cellular (honeycomb) shades add year-round insulation. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates cellular shades can cut window heat gain by up to 40% — meaningful savings on south- and west-facing windows during Baton Rouge’s long, hot summers.

3. Are you locally owned?

Yes — Made in the Shade Baton Rouge has been locally owned and operated by Ken DuBois since 2013. We’re your neighbors, committed to true Southern hospitality, honest pricing, and professional service across the Capital Region.

4. What areas do you serve?

We serve Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, Gonzales, Prairieville, Central, Greenwell Springs, and surrounding areas. Call (225) 320-2545 to confirm we cover your neighborhood — we bring the showroom to you.

5. How does the free in-home consultation work?

Book online or by phone and a local consultant arrives with a full mobile sample library — hundreds of fabrics, opacities, and finishes. They measure every window and show you each option in your actual Louisiana light. No fee, no obligation. Most visits take 45–90 minutes, and you leave with a same-day custom quote.
