Hyde Park homes often keep their original windows, with tall sashes and odd sizes. West Shore Shade measures each one and fits roller, zebra or woven wood designer shades to match.
Woven wood shades often suit historic Hyde Park homes best. Their natural fibers match wood floors and older trim. West Shore Shade also fits light-filtering roller shades for tall sash windows. Blackout roller shades work in bedrooms. We measure every window during a free in-home consultation.
Hyde Park is one of Tampa's oldest neighborhoods. It sits just west of downtown, along Bayshore Boulevard. Many streets are lined with Craftsman bungalows, Colonial Revival homes and Victorian houses. Hyde Park Village gives the area a walkable center.
Older homes here often keep their original wood windows. Those windows can be tall, narrow and slightly out of square. No two openings may match. We measure every window by hand and note the depth of each frame. That tells us whether an inside or outside mount will look right.
Many owners want to show off the original window trim. An inside mount keeps the trim visible. A slim 3-inch cassette gives a neat top line. Woven wood shades with Roman folds pair well with heart pine floors and painted wood.
Some homes here have sleeping porches or sunrooms with many windows in a row. Those rooms get light from three sides. A row of matching roller or woven wood shades keeps the look even. We size each shade to its own window, since older frames rarely match.
Homes here sit close to the sidewalk. Front rooms need privacy from people walking by. A light-filtering liner on woven wood shades blocks silhouettes at night. We bring real swatches to your free in-home consultation so you can see each fiber in your own light.
Every style is custom-made for your windows with chain or cordless lift. Here is how each one fits homes in this area.
Light-filtering roller shades fit tall sash windows without hiding the trim. Choose an inside mount and a slim cassette for a quiet look. Blackout fabric works well in upstairs bedrooms.

Zebra shades suit Hyde Park rooms that face the sidewalk. Align the solid bands for privacy during the day. They work best on the newer rear additions found on many older homes.

Woven wood shades are a natural fit for Hyde Park bungalows. Reed bamboo, Shady ramie and Devine flax add texture that suits older trim. Roman folds and edge binding give a finished look.
Woven wood details →Hyde Park homes near Bayshore Boulevard take morning sun across Hillsborough Bay. Old single-pane windows let heat in easily. Even standard double-pane glass lets about 76% of sunlight become heat in summer, says the U.S. Department of Energy. Read the Energy Saver page.
The same roller, zebra and woven wood styles come motorized. Use a remote, a wall switch or your smart-home app. Every motor carries our lifetime motor warranty.
Not if we use an inside mount. An inside mount sits within the frame and leaves the trim in view. We check the frame depth first. If the frame is too shallow, we suggest a slim outside mount instead.
Yes, we fit older windows that are slightly out of square. We measure each window at several points. Then we size the shade so it clears the frame and hangs straight. Our own crew does every measure and install.
No, unlined woven wood shows silhouettes when your lights are on. Homes close to the sidewalk should add a liner. A light-filtering liner adds privacy. A room-darkening liner also blocks more light. You can compare liner swatches at your visit.
