Why West University Place Homeowners Choose Eyes on Shades
West University Place is a tight-knit, walkable community where homeowners take genuine pride in their properties. The neighborhood’s mix of original bungalows and cottages alongside newer custom construction means there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to window treatments — each home has its own architectural personality, proportions, and light conditions that demand a thoughtful, customized solution.
As a certified Hunter Douglas dealer, Eyes on Shades brings the full product catalog — hundreds of fabrics, styles, and operating systems — directly to your West U home. We’ve helped homeowners throughout West University, Southside Place, and Bellaire find treatments that work beautifully with both older homes and new builds.
Plantation Shutters for West U’s Classic Homes
Plantation shutters are one of the most popular treatments in West University Place, and for good reason. They complement the traditional millwork, tall ceilings, and double-hung windows common in West U’s older bungalows and cottages. They’re built to last, handle Houston’s humidity without warping, and add genuine architectural value that buyers notice. All of our shutters are custom-built to your exact window dimensions.
Cellular Shades for Energy Efficiency in Houston’s Heat
West University homeowners who want to reduce heat gain and lower energy bills consistently turn to Hunter Douglas cellular shades. The honeycomb structure traps air and acts as an insulating barrier — particularly effective on the south and west-facing windows common in West U homes. Available in light-filtering and room-darkening options, and in single, double, or triple-cell configurations for maximum insulation.
Motorized Shades for West U Renovations and New Builds
West University Place has seen significant renovation activity in recent years as homeowners update older properties with modern systems. Hunter Douglas PowerView® motorization is a natural part of that upgrade path — integrating with smart home systems, allowing remote control when you’re away, and protecting furniture and flooring from UV damage on a set schedule.
