Custom Drapery & Shades in Washington County, MN

Washington County is defined by water and views. The St. Croix River runs along its eastern edge, and from Stillwater to Marine on St. Croix, a good drapery or shade treatment often has one job above all: keep the view while managing light and privacy.

Historic homes on the hillsides of Stillwater, a short walk from the Lift Bridge, often have original windows with distinctive shapes and deep sills. Custom work respects those details in a way standard sizes can’t. In Afton and Marine on St. Croix, homes near Afton State Park and the river bluffs tend to have large windows facing the water or woods. Top-down shades and light-filtering fabrics let you enjoy the scenery and still have privacy.

Newer neighborhoods in Woodbury, Cottage Grove, and Oakdale have open floor plans and big windows that benefit from layered treatments, with shades for light control and drapery for softness. Around Lake Elmo Park Reserve and in Forest Lake, Hugo, and Mahtomedi, many homes face open water or green space, and UV-blocking shades help protect floors and furniture from fading.
