Why Okanagan Homeowners Choose Made in the Shade?
At Made in the Shade Okanagan, we know that window coverings in the Okanagan are about performance, not just style. When it’s 38°C in August and the sun is reflecting off Okanagan Lake straight into your living room, you need products that actually work. We bring the showroom directly to your door, offering solutions that block the glare, protect your home year-round, and look beautiful doing it.
Our free in-home consultations are designed around your lifestyle. We’ll help you select UV-blocking solar shades for your lake-view windows in West Kelowna, or classic plantation shutters to complement the timber-frame architecture of your Vernon property. We provide precise measurements and clear, upfront pricing. As a locally owned business serving Penticton, Summerland, and Peachland, we treat our customers with the warmth the Okanagan is famous for. We offer professional installation and industry-leading lifetime warranties, ensuring your home stays comfortable and beautiful for years to come.

Our Professional Process
Just a Few Steps Away
Schedule Your Free Local Design Visit
Contact us to book an appointment that fits your schedule. We serve the entire valley, from the lakefront neighbourhoods of Kelowna’s Lower Mission to the growing communities in Lake Country.
See Samples in Your Own Home
Don’t guess how a fabric looks under store lighting. We bring the samples to you so you can choose materials that work with your Okanagan light — whether you’re capturing that golden vineyard view or blocking the harsh afternoon glare off the lake.
Precision Measuring for a Perfect Fit
Even a small gap lets in significant heat when it’s 35°C outside. We take precise measurements to ensure a tight, custom fit that maximizes your comfort and lowers your FortisBC energy bill.
Professional Installation
Our expert local team treats your home with respect. We install your new treatments securely, clean up all packaging, and ensure you know exactly how to operate your new motorized shades or plantation shutters before we leave.
Don’t Let the Okanagan Sun Damage Your Home
Cheap Blinds Warp & Fade Fast
It’s not just heat — it’s high-altitude UV combined with dry desert conditions. Standard vinyl blinds from big-box stores yellow, warp, and become brittle within a single Okanagan summer. We install premium UV-resistant composite products engineered to hold their shape and colour season after season.
Sky-High FortisBC Bills
If your windows aren’t properly shaded, your cooling system runs non-stop all summer. Gaps in cheap blinds let solar heat and UV pour in unchecked. Our cellular shades and insulating shutters act as a thermal barrier, significantly reducing your cooling costs — and your heating costs in winter.
Faded Floors, Furniture & Artwork
The Okanagan sits at elevation with exceptionally low cloud cover, meaning your interiors receive some of the highest UV exposure in Canada. Without proper protection, hardwood floors fade, leather cracks, and artwork discolours.

The Smart Choice for Okanagan Homes
Made in the Shade brings the showroom to you — serving Kelowna, Penticton, and Armstrong — so you get products built for our climate, expert advice, and a perfect fit every time.
Motorized Window Shades
Smart Comfort for Four Seasons
Your HVAC works hard enough in the Okanagan. Give it a break with our motorized solar shades. Program them to lower during the peak afternoon heat to block solar gain, or close them for privacy as the sun sets over Okanagan Lake. It’s the smartest way to keep your home cool in Kelowna’s Mission or West Kelowna’s Lakeview Heights.
Shutters
The Okanagan Lakehouse Look
Nothing complements the cedar-and-glass architecture of an Okanagan lake home like custom plantation shutters. They provide a timeless, upscale look while offering the best thermal insulation of any window treatment. Our composite shutters are UV-stable and will never warp, crack, or fade — even facing west over the water.
Exterior Shades
Enjoy Your Patio & Deck Year-Round
The Okanagan is made for outdoor living. Our motorized exterior screens block the intense afternoon sun and keep insects away, turning your covered deck or patio into a comfortable extension of your home. Enjoy a summer evening in Summerland or Peachland without the glare or the bugs.

Window Fashions for the Okanagan Climate
Living in the Okanagan means dealing with intense UV, wide temperature swings, and stunning lake views worth protecting. Our collection is curated for the Okanagan lifestyle. From UV-blocking solar shades that lower your FortisBC bill to lake-view-framing shutters that add timeless style, we have the durable solutions your home needs.
Shades
Your best defence against the Okanagan summer. Our solar roller shades block harmful UV before it enters your home, significantly reducing cooling usage. For bedrooms, our cellular honeycomb shades provide an insulating barrier that keeps rooms cool in July and cozy during cold valley winters.
Shutters
The architectural standard for Okanagan lake homes. Plantation shutters add permanent value and curb appeal, perfectly complementing the wood, stone, and glass exteriors of Kelowna and West Kelowna properties. Our composite shutters are UV-stable and will never warp, crack, or fade.
Blinds
Our faux wood blinds are engineered to withstand high UV exposure without yellowing or becoming brittle — a practical, durable option for outfitting a full home in Lake Country or Vernon, offering precise light control at great value.
Outdoor Shades
Our motorized exterior solar screens block the harsh afternoon sun, lowering the temperature on your covered porch significantly. They also protect your indoor furnishings from UV damage, extending the life of everything in the room.
Drapery
Custom drapery panels are the perfect way to frame large picture windows overlooking the vineyard or the lake. Layer them over blinds for a sophisticated look that adds an extra thermal barrier and improves acoustics in rooms with hardwood or tile floors.
Decorative Grilles
Faux iron grilles are a stunning addition to arched windows or entry doors common in Okanagan craftsman and Mediterranean-style homes. They provide the look of custom wrought iron without the rust, adding instant curb appeal to your facade.
