Let the Sun In… or Keep it Out: Solar Shades That Balance Comfort and Style

Sometimes, window coverings are about function as much as style. I was on a big job with an interior designer. While meeting for her drapery work and motorized everything, she tossed out the need for something in their barn. Something easy to clean and easy to use. They wanted to block the sun because it got so hot. I went to my go to, Charcoal colored solar shades. They reduce glare, cut down on the heat, and maintain the aesthetic of the barn.

Window coverings are about more than blocking light. They shape the mood of your home. With the right shades, a bright, sunny space can feel comfortable, and a hot afternoon doesn’t have to mean discomfort. The right balance of style, function, and ease of use makes every room more enjoyable.

For Central Coast homes, solar shades in San Luis Obispo are a popular choice for kitchens, barns, or modern spaces where practicality matters. They’re versatile, easy to maintain, and complement a wide range of architectural styles.

Working on projects like this reminds me why I love what I do. I built a relationship with a customer that led them to trust me enough to just aim me in the direction and let me make it happen. They work perfectly in the space. They’re a low cost option. Easy to use and you can just wipe them clean.
