Made In The Shade a Trusted Saskatoon Window Coverings - In Home Design Consultations

 Trusted Saskatoon window covering experts! 

Here they share a tip on In Home Design Consultations:

 

Do you ever sit in your home and daydream about all of the interior decorating changes that you’d love to make, but you don’t know where to start? If you’re like me, you might have a million pages torn out of magazines that show off styles that you like, but have no idea how to incorporate into your unique space.

That perfect design combination of color, fabric, and texture is a challenge, and there’s a reason why designers are artists too. It takes practice, experience, trial-and-error, and a fearless attitude to bring your home from just being functional, to also being beautiful. This is where we come in.


We believe that Windows, Walls & Floors are the foundation of every great space. These three elements set the tone for all other design considerations, and when well-thought-out can serve as a base to help you express your style. Our job at Made In The ShFashions is to help you pull these elements together so that your home can express your style and meet the needs of your family’s lifestyle.

An in-home consultation is a great way for you to show us your space and explain your vision. We come armed with samples, swatches, and creativity to help you to achieve the space you've always wished for.


Why choose an in-home consultation?

  1. Most of us are visual learners: It’s easier for you to explain your ideas when we’re in the space with you, and it’s easier for our designers to understand what you mean about that unique wall or distinctive nook when we can see it first-hand.
  2. Colors change based on the environment: Seeing the samples and swatches in your home and in the light that is normal for your space ensures that the colors you choose turn out exactly like you want.
  3. Your living room doesn’t travel well: It’s a lot easier for us to bring the showroom to you, than for you to bring your living room to us.
  4. Sometimes it’s easier to make decisions in the comfort of your own home, without too many choices to create confusion. You can visualize your future space, much more easily when you’re sitting in your present space.


Take a moment to request an In-Home Consultation and let us do the rest for you. You won’t be disappointed.

Made In The Shade BlindsTrusted Saskatoon Blind Expert tip on Window Coverings, Budget and Timelines

Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon wants to help you get your windows on the Best Dressed list! They offer free in-home consultations, where they bring the showroom to you. Not only is this more convenient for you, it allows you to see a variety of choices for your home, surrounded by your colors and furnishings, in your home’s own natural light.

 Heather shares a tip on Window Coverings – Budget and Timelines – What to expect:

Building or buying a home this year?


 
There are so many details and things to consider when you are moving into or building a new home. I can’t tell you how often I have been with a family in their new home, and they have a definite need for window coverings but have no idea as to what to expect as far as budget, timelines, or even which type of window covering product would suit them the best. We at Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon want to make it easy for you!
 

Looking at timelines – your consultation will take 30-75 minutes (give or take). At your consultation, we can decide on your window coverings and take accurate measurements of the windows in your home. Your quote will be back to you within 24-48 hours of your consultation. For most custom window coverings, plantation shutters being the exception, the shipping time from the manufacturer is between 2-3 weeks. Plantation shutters will take 4-10 weeks, depending on the size and scale of the project. Most other products (wood or faux wood blinds, cellular or honeycomb shades, roller and solar shades, Roman shades, sheers and draperies, etc.) can be delivered within 3 weeks of placing the order. Give yourself some extra time so that everything comes together smoothly. We will schedule an installation date once your product arrives at Made in the Shade. 


Budget! This is something we all want to know! Made in the Shade Blinds offers various choices from several manufacturers – Hunter Douglas, Graber, Horizons, Maxxmar, Shade-O-Matic and Norman Shutters – and there is a bit of variance in the price ranges. The size of your windows also factors your costs…the larger the window, the more pricey the window covering (of course). One of the most cost-effective window covering products would be faux-wood blinds. Fabrics and natural woven woods generally require more investment, as do plantation shutters. Pleated, roller and solar shades tend to fall more into the budget-conscious category, and cellulars (depending upon the brand) fall pretty much in the middle of the road. I think you would be surprised when you do comparison shopping! 


Call us at 306-280-0632 for a free in-home consultation and quote—we can work with any budget! We will work with you to get the window coverings you love for one window or a whole home or office building!

Made In The Shade Blinds your Trusted Saskatoon Blinds & Window Coverings Expert tip on working with businesses who care

Not only is this more convenient for you, it allows you to see a variety of choices for your home, surrounded by your colors and furnishings, in your home’s own natural light.

Here Heather shares her first tip on Work with businesses who care!
 
I recently had the opportunity to visit a family that was not happy at all with the company that they had hired to provide and install their blinds. Our initial phone call revealed that the customer received a colour that she did not want. I booked an appointment to go out and consult with the family the next afternoon.  
 

Upon arrival, I did notice that the blinds were not white (as the customer had requested) and was told that the other company had told her that the product she wanted was not available in white. What? 2” Composite blinds? Not available in white? I thought it to be very strange as I have numerous variations of white in my sample books…. And of course, we found one that matched her trim perfectly. I asked about a previous consultation and the quote for service, and she mentioned that she had not been given either from the company. Hmmmm…..

When measuring her windows, I went room by room and had the chance to see the installation that was done. I wondered why the blinds in the master bedroom (and only that set) were recessed into the window casing and butted up against the window, including the valance! The poor homeowner had been so distressed about the colour that she had not noticed how her product had been installed! I wrapped up our consultation and headed home to ask some questions of the manufacturer’s representative.

As her fight continued with her previous provider (who flat out refused to do ANYTHING and insisted upon payment), I found that she had not been sold a composite blind, she had been sold a far inferior vinyl product usually reserved for builders. It only comes in two versions of white…one being the exact colour my client had in her home. Flat out, she had been deceived by her previous provider.


 

My best advice in this situation?

  1. Make sure you get a consultation and physically view the product that you are planning to install in your home. If the person does not offer a consultation, DO NOT WORK WITH THEM. Seriously, if a business will not take the time to meet you, consult with you and find out more about your needs, they do not deserve your business.
  2. Get a quote and go through it carefully. In fact, get a few quotes! The rule of thumb is 3…so if you are not provided with a written quote, cross that person off of your shopping list.
  3. Ask questions. If there is ever something that seems very out of line, ask about it!
  4. Work with a company that offers a customer satisfaction guarantee. Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon offers a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee, meaning that we won’t stop working until you are satisfied.

Deal with people who care about your job, and their reputation! Work with Made in the Shade Blinds Saskatoon and expect to be impressed!

The owner of the Saskatoon Made In The Shade franchise is Heather Boyko, and before starting her business in September 2013 she was the Trusted Saskatoon consultant! 

When she was out and about visiting business owners as their Trusted Saskatoon consultant Heather saw a gap in the Saskatoon window coverings market, which she believed she could fill. As Saskatoon continues to boom and grow,  new houses are being built on every corner of the city and each of them require window coverings! As people improve, renovate and re decorate their homes they are surprised how many options are out there for blinds & other window coverings,  and as shopping for those the traditional way from store to store is very time consuming Heather felt a mobile service was definitely the way to go ....at Made in The Shade they come to you at home, and fit in with your busy schedule, and as there are minimum overheads the savings are fantastic!!
