Custom Window Treatments in West St. Pete
Solar shades, drapery, plantation shutters, and reupholstery for West St. Pete homes, built for the wide windows and hard afternoon sun on this side of the city. In-home consultation, made in our own workroom.
West St. Pete
Window Treatments Built for the West-Side Sun
West St. Pete leans mid-century, which usually means wide windows, big sliders, and a lot of west-facing glass. The afternoon sun here is relentless, and it fades furniture and drives up cooling bills faster than most homeowners expect.
We design around that. The right mix of solar shades, drapery, and shutters keeps these rooms cool and livable without giving up the light or the view, and every piece is built and installed by our own St. Pete team.

What West St. Pete Homeowners Need From Custom Fabric Creations
The west side of St. Pete has its own kind of light and its own kind of homes. Here is what we build for over here.
Real relief from the afternoon sun
West-facing glass turns living rooms into greenhouses by 4pm and fades furniture within a couple of seasons. We design treatments that cut the heat and glare while keeping the view.
Treatments sized for wide windows and sliders
Mid-century homes here are full of oversized sliders and picture windows. We build bypass shutters, panel tracks, and large-format shades that fit those openings cleanly.
A cooler home without a darker one
You should not have to choose between comfort and natural light. Solar shades and layered drapery let you keep the brightness and the view while bringing the temperature down.
Window treatments and upholstery together
Because we run our own workroom, we can reupholster the sun-faded sofa and dress the windows in one coordinated project, with fabrics that match.
Local Expertise
Window Challenges Specific to West St. Pete
West St. Pete homes catch the worst of the day. The low afternoon sun pours straight through west-facing glass, driving up indoor temperatures, spiking cooling bills, and bleaching everything it touches, from hardwood floors to upholstery to artwork.
The architecture adds to it. This side of the city leans mid-century, with wide windows, banks of jalousies replaced by modern glass, and big sliding doors built for indoor-outdoor living. Those openings are wonderful for light and views, and brutal without the right treatment to manage the heat.
What we design around here
- Intense west-facing afternoon sun and heat gain
- UV fading of furniture, flooring, and fabrics
- Oversized sliders and picture windows that need large-format treatments
- Glare on screens and work surfaces in bright rooms
- Keeping the view and the light while cutting the heat

I've used Custom Fabric Creations several times for drapes, cornices, and a remote shade. The custom work around my already existing crown molding was amazing. Anytime I need window treatments I would use them again.

Abigail Stockman
We love our custom shades! Terry is a master at what she does and she's a pleasure to work with. We needed a custom shower curtain with a fun pattern, an extra large motorized shade for a Nana door, and a roller shade for a floor-to-ceiling window. Terry made it happen and everything turned out flawless.
Barbara Staras
Terry made drapes for my entire house. Her work is flawless. The choice of fabrics is limitless. I moved from Atlanta, where access to quality, custom draperies was plentiful. Terry's work is as good, if not better, than the drapery makers I encountered in Atlanta. I highly recommend Terry.

Common Questions
West St. Pete: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about our work in West St. Pete.
Which window treatment is best for west-facing windows?
For hard afternoon sun we usually start with solar shades, which cut heat and glare while keeping the view, then layer drapery where the room wants softness. We walk every window and recommend per opening.
Do you handle large sliders and Nana doors?
Yes. Wide sliders and Nana doors are common in West St. Pete homes. We install bypass shutters, panel tracks, and motorized shades sized to the opening, including battery and wired motor options.
How much can solar shades reduce heat?
A good solar shade meaningfully reduces solar heat gain and glare on a west-facing window while preserving the outward view. We help you pick the right openness factor for each room so you keep the light you want.
Will treatments stop my furniture from fading?
They help significantly. UV-filtering shades and lined drapery block much of the radiation that fades wood, fabric, and art. For the worst exposures we layer treatments for the most protection.
Can you help with both window treatments and reupholstery?
Yes. Because we run our own workroom, we can do shades or drapery and reupholster the seating in the same project, with coordinated fabrics, instead of juggling two vendors.
Do you offer in-home consultations on the west side?
Always. We bring samples and measure on-site anywhere in West St. Pete. The consultation is free and there is no obligation.
