Temple Terrace mixes 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes with mid-century ranch houses and student rentals. West Shore Shade fits roller, zebra and woven wood designer shades for each kind of home.
Roller shades are best for most Temple Terrace homes, since they fit both ranch windows and deep stucco openings. West Shore Shade suggests zebra shades for living rooms and woven wood for Mediterranean Revival homes. Rental owners often choose simple roller shades. We plan each room at a free in-home consultation.
Temple Terrace is its own city, just northeast of Tampa. The Hillsborough River curves along its eastern edge. The city began in the 1920s as a planned golf course community. Some Mediterranean Revival homes from that time still stand.
Many streets also have mid-century ranch homes. Ranch houses often have long, low windows and sliders to a back patio or lanai. Wide windows suit a 2-on-1 roller shade on one headrail. Sliders suit solar screen roller shades that keep the yard in view.
Older Mediterranean Revival homes here may have arched windows and deep stucco openings. Deep openings suit inside-mounted roller or woven wood shades. Arched tops are hard to cover with a moving shade. We usually fit the rectangle below the arch and leave the arch open.
The University of South Florida sits just west of Temple Terrace. Many homes nearby are rentals. Rental owners often want simple, sturdy shades that are easy to clean. Light-filtering roller shades with chain control are a common choice.
Homes on the river or near the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club face open views. Those views come with more sun on the glass. Solar screen fabric in 5% or 10% openness keeps the view and cuts glare. We bring real swatches to your free in-home consultation.
Every style is custom-made for your windows with chain or cordless lift. Here is how each one fits homes in this area.
Roller shades fit the long, low windows of Temple Terrace ranch homes. Light-filtering fabric with chain control works well in rental homes near the university. Solar screen fabric suits river and golf course views.

Zebra shades suit living rooms in Temple Terrace ranch homes. You can shift between daylight and privacy with one control. Dim-out zebra fabric works in media rooms but is not full blackout.

Woven wood shades suit the older Mediterranean Revival homes in Temple Terrace. Kenaf blends like Silage pair well with stucco and tile. Roman folds and a valance give a finished top.
Woven wood details →Temple Terrace homes facing the river or fairways have open views and few trees on that side. About 76% of sunlight reaching standard double-pane windows turns into heat during the cooling season. The U.S. Department of Energy reports this number. Read more on Energy Saver.
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.
Light-filtering or blackout roller shades work well in rental homes. They are simple to use and easy to wipe clean. Chain control is sturdy for frequent use. Many owners near the university choose one fabric for the whole house.
A 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 roller shade covers wide ranch windows. Each shade moves on its own but shares one headrail. That keeps a clean line across the wall. You can raise one section and leave the others down.
No, dim-out is not blackout. Dim-out zebra fabric darkens a room but lets some light through. Blackout roller fabric blocks light through the fabric. For the darkest room, the ZeroLux system also seals the edges.
