Going green isn’t just a trend for Earth Day. It’s a lifestyle that can start right at your windows! Choosing eco-friendly window shades and window blinds is an easy way to boost your home’s sustainability while saving energy and looking great doing it. Explore our collection of eco-friendly window shades, featuring energy-efficient designs, recycled materials and certified fabrics.

GREENGUARD® Certified

GREENGUARD Certified products go through testing to prove they emit lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), helping to improve indoor air quality compared to other products. When you choose window blinds and shades with this certification, you’re investing in a healthier home environment, which is important in rooms where your family spends a lot of time, like living rooms and bedrooms.

OEKO-TEX® Certified Fabrics

OEKO-TEX® is a globally recognized certification that ensures fabrics are free from harmful substances. Window shades with this certification means the fabric has been tested and proven safe for both you and the environment.

Dope Dyed Fabrics

Traditional dyeing processes use large amounts of water and chemicals. The Homestead Collection for Country Cottage Roman Shades features dope-dyed, or solution-dyed, fabrics, a dyeing process that reduces water waste and makes the shade fade-resistant.
