Window Treatments in University Park, TX
Bumble Bee Blinds of Greater Dallas Area makes choosing window treatments in University Park, TX easy, from the first swatch to the last bracket. We design and install custom window treatments for University Park homes: blinds, shades, shutters, drapes and curtains, and motorized window treatments that open and close at the touch of a button. Everything starts with a free in-home design consultation, so you get to see real colors and fabrics in your own rooms, in your own light, with a design consultant right beside you to help. Our certified installers then fit every piece and show you how it all works before they head out. You work with one team from start to finish, and you never have to measure a single window yourself.
Custom Window Treatments for University Park Homes
University Park was incorporated in 1924, and it fits a lot of history into its 3.73 square miles around SMU, with Dallas on three sides and Highland Park just to the south. That history shows up in the windows. About one home in six here was built in 1939 or earlier, and more than a third went up in 2000 or later, so one street can hold original casings and narrow older openings right next to a rebuild with wide modern glass and a big open family room.
Every window gets measured and fitted on its own for that reason. An older window with deep wood trim might look best with a treatment mounted inside the frame, where the woodwork still shows. A tall new opening might need a shade wide enough to cover it in one clean piece. Your design consultant takes all of that into account, window by window, so nothing is forced to fit a standard size.
How you use each room matters just as much. A formal front room facing the street usually calls for a polished, tailored look. Bedrooms tend to need real darkness for sleep, and a media room needs the light kept out on movie night. We walk through the house with you and match each treatment to the way that room is used day to day.
Blinds, Shades, Shutters and Drapery for University Park
Your design consultant brings samples from our full line of custom window treatments right to your home, so you can hold them up to the window and see how they look.
Blinds
Blinds give you easy control over light with a simple tilt. We offer wood, faux wood, aluminum, vinyl and vertical blinds. Faux wood is the most popular choice in Greater Dallas homes, and it works especially well in kitchens and bathrooms. Vertical blinds are a good fit for large windows.
Shades
Our shades come in roller, solar roller, cellular, Roman, natural woven, banded and sheer styles. Light-filtering fabrics let soft, natural light in while still giving you privacy. Blackout fabrics block the light completely, which is what most people want in a bedroom or a media room.
Shutters
Plantation shutters in University Park, TX are a natural match for traditional rooms and newer homes alike. We offer custom and plantation shutters in real wood or durable composite, and composite is the most popular choice around Greater Dallas. Shutters can be built for arched, angled and bay windows too, each one measured to match its window exactly.
Drapes and Curtains
Custom drapes and curtain panels add softness and color to a room. You can hang them on their own or layer them over shades for extra light control, and we help you pick the hardware to finish the look.
Motorized Window Treatments
Motorized shades in University Park homes are a big help on tall and hard-to-reach windows. You can raise and lower them with a remote or a smartphone app. Cordless and motorized options both take the cords off the window entirely, which keeps children and pets safer.
Outdoor shades give your patio or deck shade and help cut the heat, and they're made to stand up to wind and rain. For University Park offices and shops, we also offer commercial window coverings for retail stores, medical offices and other workplaces, giving you light control and privacy with a professional look.
Managing North Texas Sun, Heat and Privacy
Dallas-Fort Worth averages 20 days a year at or above 100 degrees, two more than the old normal. That means hot afternoon sun pours through the west- and south-facing glass of University Park homes for months at a time, warming up rooms and slowly fading floors, rugs and furniture.
Solar roller shades are a favorite for those windows. They cut the glare and help protect your furnishings, and you can still see out to the yard while they're down. Cellular shades are our go-to for energy efficiency, helping keep the summer heat out and holding warmth inside during the winter months.
Privacy matters too, especially for front windows that face the street and sidewalk. Top-down bottom-up shades let you open the top of the window to the sky and keep the lower half covered, so the room stays bright without feeling exposed. Sheer shades and layered drapes give you that same soft, private feel.
How Our In-Home Design Consultation Works
The first step is scheduling your free consultation at a time that suits you. Your design consultant comes to your University Park home with swatches and sample books, so you see real colors against your own walls and floors. Together you go room by room, talking through how you want each space to look and what you need it to do, from privacy to darkness to easy cleaning.
Your consultant takes every measurement at that same visit and gives you a quote, along with flexible financing options. You can also try the Visualizer Tool to preview different styles before you decide. Our online estimator shows typical ranges, too: custom blinds generally run $200 to $11,000, shades $300 to $16,000, plantation shutters $500 to $26,000 and custom drapery $1,500 to $35,000, depending on the product and how many windows you're covering. Every price includes the consultation, measuring, made-to-measure products, professional installation and manufacturer warranty coverage, with no separate measuring, delivery or labor fees.
Our office reaches out to set an installation time that works for you as soon as your order arrives. Our certified installers fit everything, then walk you through how each product operates.
