Why Houston Heights Homeowners Choose Eyes on Shades
The Heights is one of Houston’s most architecturally rich neighborhoods — a Historic District where original bungalows, Victorian cottages, craftsman foursquares, and Edwardian homes sit alongside thoughtful renovations and striking new builds. Window treatments here are not a one-size-fits-all proposition. A craftsman bungalow with original wood windows calls for something entirely different than a modern Heights new-construction home with floor-to-ceiling glass.
Eyes on Shades brings the expertise and the product range to handle both — and everything in between. As a certified Hunter Douglas dealer, we carry hundreds of fabric and style options and have the design knowledge to recommend treatments that respect the original character of historic homes while meeting the functional needs of today’s households.
Window Treatments for Historic Heights Bungalows and Craftsman Homes
Houston Heights’ historic homes often feature original double-hung wood windows, transoms above doors and windows, and non-standard dimensions that most big-box window treatment solutions simply can’t accommodate. Every product we install is custom-built to your exact measurements — including those irregularly sized historic windows that are what make Heights homes so distinctive. Roman shades, woven wood shades, and plantation shutters are consistently popular choices that complement the neighborhood’s craftsman and Victorian millwork without competing with it.
Motorized Shades for Heights Renovations and New Builds
The Heights has seen extraordinary renovation activity over the past decade, with many homeowners preserving original facades while completely modernizing interiors. Hunter Douglas PowerView® motorization fits naturally into these updated spaces — enabling schedule-based automation, smart home integration, and remote control of every shade in the home. Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Control4, and Lutron systems.
Woven Wood and Natural Shades for Heights Interiors
Woven wood shades — made from grasses, reeds, bamboo, and natural fibers — are among the most popular treatments we specify for Heights homes. They bring an organic warmth that complements the wood floors, exposed beams, and natural materials common throughout the neighborhood’s historic interiors, while still providing meaningful light management. Available in dozens of weave patterns and natural colorways.
