Cellular Shades

Custom Cellular Shades in West Roxbury & Boston, MA

Delivering Comfort and Energy Savings to Homes Across Suffolk County and Surrounding Areas.

Tired of blinds that glare, show the whole room, and never feel quite right? Many homes have the same issue. Old window coverings let in harsh light, reduce privacy, and leave rooms uncomfortable.

A better choice is cellular shades. Their honeycomb design adds a soft layer at the window and gives you precise control of light, from gentle filtering to full blackout. Use them in a street-facing bedroom for privacy, a home office to cut screen glare, or a nursery that needs darkness.

What Are Cellular or Honeycomb Shades?

Cellular shades are fabric window treatments constructed with a distinctive honeycomb structure that creates air-filled "cells" between layers. This ingenious design isn't just about looks—those cells trap air to help reduce heat transfer, making your rooms more comfortable while giving you precise control over natural light and privacy.

Think of cellular shades as the Swiss Army knife of window treatments. Need complete darkness for a nursery? They've got you covered with blackout fabrics. Want to filter harsh afternoon sun in your home office while maintaining your street view? Light-filtering options deliver exactly that. Looking for privacy at street level without losing your connection to daylight? Top-down/bottom-up configurations solve the puzzle perfectly.

Why Boston Homeowners Choose Cellular Shades

  • Climate Comfort

    Boston's weather swings from sweltering summers to bone-chilling winters, and cellular shades help your windows work smarter, not harder. The honeycomb design creates an insulating air layer that helps reduce heat transfer, keeping rooms more comfortable year-round.

  • Privacy Plus Daylight

    Boston's density means neighbors are often close by. Cellular shades let you control exactly how much privacy and light you want, from sheer fabrics that maintain views while softening glare to blackout options that block everything.

  • Sound Softening

    Those same air-filled cells that help with temperature also help dampen street noise, a welcome benefit for anyone living near Commonwealth Ave or Mass Pike.

  • Child & Pet Safety

    With cordless lift options available, cellular shades eliminate the dangling cords that pose safety risks to little ones and curious pets.

  • Tailored Fit

    Boston homes come with their own architectural personalities—narrow casings, deep sills, unusual angles. Cellular shades adapt beautifully to these quirks with custom sizing.

Light Control Options: From Sheer to Blackout

  • Light-Filtering Cellular Shades

    The goldilocks option, not too much light, not too little. These fabrics reduce glare and provide daytime privacy while still allowing natural light to illuminate your space. Excellent for home offices, kitchens, and family rooms.

  • Sheer Cellular Shades

    Perfect for spaces where you want to maintain views while gently filtering light. Ideal for living rooms with beautiful street views or any room where you want to soften harsh direct sunlight without losing your connection to the outdoors.

  • Room-Darkening Cellular Shades

    Block most light while still allowing some gentle illumination around the edges. Great for bedrooms where you want to sleep in on weekend mornings but don't need complete darkness.

  • Blackout Cellular Shades

    Total light control for nurseries, media rooms, or anywhere you need complete darkness.

Pro Tip: Layer cellular shades with drapery for the ultimate in light control flexibility and design impact.

  • Maintaining Crisp Pleats

    To keep your cellular shades in excellent condition, avoid pulling them too quickly when raising or lowering. Don’t allow pets to climb or scratch on lowered shades, as this can damage the fabric and structure.

What Our Clients Say

I have been a customer of King Shade for years. All the shades in my home were installed by them as well as my storm doors. I just had 16 windows on my first floor replaced in December and never bothered to get a quote from any other company. I knew the price quoted by King would be reasonable and the quality of the product would be excellent. I wasn't disappointed on either count. King Shade is a local company and Melissa and George are wonderful to work with. Not knowing anything at all about windows, I had plenty of questions and they addressed all my concerns. In the spring I am going to have them replace 9 windows on my second floor as well as new window shades. The installation crew is very professional. There were 4 installers, and the installation was completed in only 4 hours. They showed up on time and cleaned up when the job was done. I am absolutely delighted with my new windows (I also notice how much warmer my house is now!) and I highly recommend King Shade for your window replacement.

Shout out to our local company, King Shade. Just had all new windows and window treatments completed by King Shade and cannot say anything but AWESOME! From start to finish they did an exceptional job. Melissa explains everything about their products in a friendly and understandable manner. George measured everything accurately, so the installation was perfect. The installers are so neat and quick there is nothing to clean up after. My windows look terrific and the shades are lovely. Their prices are competitive and they remind you that they are available if ever there is a problem. My recommendation is to shop local if you need anything involving windows. King Shade delivers outstanding service with a smile.

The entire team at King Shade are great to customers. They have a wide selection, good prices, and quick service. We particularly appreciate that they will come out and measure windows to ensure the right fit and help suggest different products and color schemes to fit your home. We've used them on at least five projects over the last decade.
