Shades: Elegant, Functional & Custom Window Coverings in Johns Creek, GA

At Bumble Bee Blinds of Johns Creek, we believe your windows should do more than just look good — they should bring comfort, control, and style to every room. Our custom shades combine beauty with functionality, giving you effortless light control, privacy, and energy efficiency — all tailored for homes in Johns Creek, Suwanee, Alpharetta, and the surrounding North Fulton communities.

Why Choose Shades?

While blinds and shutters have their strengths, shades offer a different kind of versatility and aesthetic appeal. Here’s what makes them special:

• Seamless design — Shades create a clean, tailored look without the interruptions of slats or louvers.
• Soft light filtering — With the right fabric, you can soften harsh sunlight while still preserving an open, airy feel.
• Layering & style flexibility — Shades pair beautifully with drapery or can stand alone as minimalist accents.
• Energy efficiency — Many shade types (e.g. cellular, solar) provide insulation and UV protection that help regulate your home's comfort.

Our Shade Collections — Something for Every Style & Need

Below is a breakdown of the shade types we offer. Each can be customized for your home and lifestyle in Johns Creek:

1. Roller Shades & Solar Roller Shades

Clean, modern, and unfussy. Roller shades are perfect for rooms where you want simple up/down operation plus a wide palette of fabrics and opacity levels.
Solar roller shades block glare and harmful UV rays while preserving your view to the outdoors — ideal for sunlit rooms in this region.

2. Cellular (Honeycomb) Shades

These shades are engineered with a unique cellular structure that traps air, creating a natural insulation barrier. They’re well suited for bedrooms, living rooms, or anywhere you want added energy efficiency.

3. Roman Shades

Soft, graceful, and decorative — Roman shades fold neatly as they lift, giving you the elegance of drapery in a streamlined shade design. They come in a broad variety of fabrics and fold styles (flat, hobbled, etc.).

4. Sheer & Sheer-Light Shades

For rooms where you want filtered light and layered textures, sheer shades (sometimes called soft shades) offer translucence without full transparency, giving you a gentle glow.

5. Natural Woven Shades (Bamboo, Grasscloth, Wood, Seagrass)

Bring organic beauty into your home. These are ideal for textured, earthy interiors, giving warmth and character through natural materials.

6. Banded / Zebra Shades (Transitional Shades)

These shades alternate opaque and sheer bands, delivering precise control over light and privacy—align the bands to filter softly, or close them for full coverage.

7. Motorized & Smart Shades

Harness the power of automation. Control your shades with remote, wall switch, app, or voice. Perfect for hard-to-reach windows, home theaters, or simply for daily convenience.
