High-Quality Shades in Gastonia, NC

Style, Function, and Light Control — Tailored for Your Home

Your windows are among the most visible features in any room. The right shades can turn them into design highlights while offering comfort, privacy, and control over natural light. At Bumble Bee Blinds – Gastonia, NC, we specialize in custom shades built to match your décor, your lifestyle, and your budget.

Whether you want breezy sheer fabrics, room-darkening options, or something in between, our local team can design, measure, and install shades that elevate your whole space.

Why Choose Custom Shades?

Shades are more than window coverings — they’re functional décor. Here’s why investing in well-made, custom shades is a smart decision:

• Perfect Fit — Off-the-shelf shades often leave gaps or look awkward. Our custom shades are measured precisely to your windows for a clean, built-in look.
• Material & Style Flexibility — You choose the fabric, weave, opacity, and color that match your interior design.
• Light & Privacy Control — From sheer to blackout, you can dial in the right balance between daylighting and privacy.
• Thermal Performance — Certain shade materials offer insulation, helping reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.
• Durability & Longevity — High-quality materials and professional installation mean your shades will look and perform well for years.

Our Shade Types & Styles

At Bumble Bee Blinds – Gastonia, we offer a broad collection of shades to suit different needs and aesthetics. Here are our popular categories:

Roller Shades

Clean, minimal, and versatile. These consist of a single fabric panel that rolls up and down. Great for modern interiors or minimalist décor.

Solar / Screen Shades

Designed to reduce glare and UV exposure while preserving outward view. Ideal for sunlit rooms and spaces where you want daylight without harsh glare.

Cellular / Honeycomb Shades

Featuring honeycomb cells that trap air, these shades offer both light control and improved insulation — a smart choice for energy savings and indoor comfort.

Roman Shades

Soft, elegant folds create a fabric-like texture. These shades add warmth and softness to interiors, combining beauty with practicality.

Woven Wood / Natural Material Shades

Made from grasses, bamboo, reeds, or natural fibers. These bring textures, organic warmth, and a bit of the outdoors inside.

Dual / Layered Shades

Also called “zebra” or “day-night” shades. They let you shift between sheer and opaque panels, giving you flexibility in light and privacy.
