Venice homes include Mediterranean Revival houses, villas and newer community homes. West Shore Shade fits designer shades for each style. We bring real fabric swatches to every free in-home consultation.
Roller shades with solar screen fabric fit most Venice homes with sliders and Gulf-facing windows. Woven wood shades suit Mediterranean Revival rooms near downtown. Zebra shades work in villas and bedrooms. West Shore Shade measures each window at a free in-home consultation and installs with our own crew.
Venice was planned in the 1920s, and its downtown still shows Mediterranean Revival style. Older homes on Venice Island often have arched windows and stucco walls. Newer neighborhoods east of the Intracoastal have villas and single-family homes with large sliders. Many of these homes back onto ponds, preserves or golf courses. Those views are worth keeping during the day.
Venice sits right on the Gulf. Homes near the beaches face strong afternoon glare. A 3% or 5% solar screen roller shade cuts that glare and keeps the view. Arched windows need careful measuring. We measure each one by hand during your visit. Often the best fit covers the straight part below the arch. Stucco walls also affect how we mount each shade.
Many Venice residents live in villas and 55-plus communities. Many associations there have rules for window coverings seen from outside. A white or neutral back side often fits. Bring your guidelines to your free in-home consultation.
Woven wood shades suit the warm tones of Mediterranean Revival rooms. Bamboo and kenaf blends pair well with tile floors and stucco. Cordless lift on eligible sizes keeps controls simple for every age. Our own crew installs each shade. We do not use subcontractors. Your quote comes in person at the free in-home consultation, after we measure.
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 suit the sliders and Gulf-facing windows in many Venice homes. A 3% or 5% solar screen cuts beach glare and keeps your view. A flat fascia or Q Box finishes the top of the shade.

Woven wood shades match the warm tones of Mediterranean Revival homes near downtown Venice. Bamboo, kenaf and flax blends pair well with tile and stucco. Edge binding and valances add a finished look.
Woven wood details →Venice homes near the Gulf face long hours of strong sun. The U.S. Department of Energy studied window heat gain. About 76% of sunlight on standard double-pane windows becomes indoor heat in the cooling season. Solar screen roller shades on west-facing sliders block part of that heat before it enters.
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.
