Custom Roller Shades in West Roxbury, Suffolk County & Greater Boston
Proudly Serving Suffolk County with Custom Roller Shades Since 1948
Your home gets plenty of beautiful natural light, but outdated or ill-fitting window coverings can make it hard to enjoy. Maybe you’re dealing with glare in the living room, too much light in the bedroom, or cords that don’t match your décor. Off-the-shelf shades from big-box stores often don’t fit Boston’s older windows, leaving rooms looking mismatched instead of refined.
At King Shade & Window, we craft custom roller shades built to your exact window openings and design preferences. From light-filtering to blackout fabrics, spring or clutch lift systems, and styles that range from antique-inspired to modern minimalist, we create shades that complement any Boston home.

Fabrics & Finishes: From Light-Filtering to Blackout
Today's roller shade materials are designed for real life. Select light-filtering fabrics for soft, diffused light and daytime privacy, or blackout for bedrooms and media rooms where you need full darkness. Choose sleek solids, textured weaves, or patterned designer looks.

Understanding Sheer Fabrics
While sheer fabrics offer a light, airy look and maintain your view, they provide minimal privacy and limited glare reduction. They work best in spaces where privacy isn't a concern and you want maximum natural light with a decorative touch. Our team will help you understand the trade-offs of each fabric option so you can make the right choice for your lifestyle.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Most roller shade fabrics are engineered with smooth or lightly textured surfaces that don't trap dust. A quick pass with a soft brush vacuum attachment or a microfiber wipe maintains a fresh look. For spot cleaning, gently dab with a damp cloth and mild soap if the fabric allows. Your advisor can recommend care based on the fabric you choose.
They can. Blackout fabrics dramatically reduce incoming light. For the best darkness, pair blackout shades with a fabric cassette and consider side channels or drapery panels to help minimize edge glow. Many Boston families prefer blackout in bedrooms and nurseries for comfort and privacy while keeping lighter fabrics in living spaces.
A spring roller is cord-free with a classic, minimal look, great for kids, and pet-friendly spaces. A chain-operated clutch offers ultra-smooth positioning and is ideal for larger or heavier shades. Both are excellent; your choice depends on window size, daily usage, and the style you prefer. We'll let you try each system in our showroom.
Yes. Roller shades are one of the best treatments for large spans because wide fabrics and sturdy tubes keep the shade rolling evenly. For very wide openings, you can also use two or three coordinated shades on a shared opening for easier operation and consistent alignment. We'll recommend the configuration that suits your window and lifestyle.
Custom roller shades are built to your exact measurements, including older Boston windows that aren't perfectly square. You'll get a better visual finish, smoother operation, and a much larger selection of fabrics and hardware. Stock sizes are convenient for quick pickup, but custom gives you the fit, look, and functionality homeowners expect in a finished room.
