At Made in the Shade South Mississippi, we work with local business owners to find the right balance of style, function, and light control through natural window treatments. Designing the perfect office isn’t just about desks and decor. It’s about creating a space where people feel comfortable, focused, and productive. And one of the most overlooked design decisions? Your window treatments.
Whether you’re moving into a new office or upgrading your current space, the right natural roman shades or blinds can dramatically improve your daily work environment—and even support your bottom line.

Why Window Treatments Matter in Commercial Spaces
Most office spaces feature large, bright windows that invite natural light—but that’s not always a good thing. Without the right coverage, sunlight can:
- Create glare on computer screens
- Overheat the room, especially in the South Mississippi climate
- Fade furniture, artwork, or flooring
- Limit privacy in client-facing areas
Choosing the right window treatments helps you solve all of these problems while reinforcing your brand’s aesthetic. We offer a wide selection of products from industry-leading vendors like Graber, Norman, Insolroll, and Alta Window Fashions, all available with professional measuring, expert installation, and motorized control options.
1. Solar Shades for Tech-Savvy Offices
Solar shades reduce glare while maintaining outward visibility, making them ideal for conference rooms or collaborative spaces.
Best features:
- Protects screens from glare
- Maintains natural light
- Reduces energy costs

We installed these in a Gulfport marketing agency’s boardroom—read about it in our office makeover case study.
2. Roller Shades for Minimalist Design

These work well in:
