Well-designed window treatments are an excellent way to keep your home a little cooler during hot Texas summers and conserve your heating when the temperature drops. Blinds, shutters, and shades all allow you to control how much sunlight enters your home through windows. They add an extra layer of insulation that keeps the outdoor elements from affecting indoor temperatures. While adding a set of blinds isn’t a replacement for good home insulation, it can go a long way to maintaining a comfortable space.

THE FROG offers customized window treatment solutions for windows and doors of all sizes and shapes, including skylights, sliding glass doors, and hard-to-reach windows. We won’t make you choose between window treatments that are too small or too large for your oddly shaped window. Allow us to customize your window treatments to your   needs and specifications.

Blackout blinds, with side channels, block all light from entering a room, which is ideal for a home theater or bedroom to promote better rest. We’re happy to install them wherever needed. Room-darkening treatments, no side channel, will limit the amount of light entering a room, but do not block it out completely.

Absolutely! Visualization is essential when it comes to deciding on fabrics for window treatments. Seeing colors, textures, and patterns in your space with your lighting, day and night, makes an incredible difference. When you schedule a complimentary in-home consultation (link to Lead Sheet) with our team, we’ll bring samples to your home or office to make your selection process easier. We can provide swatches to use let you compare how the window treatment will fit with other parts of your design project. If there’s something you’d like to see, don’t be afraid to ask!

THE FROG provides temporary, paper shades to our customers if they need privacy before their order can be produced.

All our manufacturer’s design blinds, shades, and hardware with the safety of children and pets as their number one priority! Blinds, shades and draperies with cords or looped cords made with shorter cords and cord loop lengths need to be evaluated for where they are used to eliminate the risk of strangulation for small children and pets. Cordless and motorized window treatment can solve some of these safety risks. Most window treatments can be motorized.
