Roller Shades in Bloomington-Normal, IL
Roller shades suit the clean lines of newer homes and home offices around Bloomington-Normal. A screen fabric cuts glare on west-facing windows while keeping your view, and a room-darkening fabric makes bedrooms and media rooms easy to darken. Our designers in Normal help you pick the fabric, the openness and the operating system for each room, then our own installers measure and install everything.
What to know before you choose.
Roller shades are a single piece of fabric that rolls neatly up and out of sight. The clean, simple profile suits modern rooms, and the fabric choice does the work: light filtering for soft daylight, solar screen to cut glare and heat while keeping the view, or blackout for bedrooms and media rooms.
They're also among the easiest shades to motorize, which makes them a great fit for tall windows, wide walls of glass and whole-home automation.

Are screen shades a good choice for west-facing windows in Bloomington-Normal?
Yes. Screen fabrics cut glare and filter UV rays during the hot late-afternoon sun while keeping your view outside. More open weaves show more of the view; tighter weaves block more glare.

What's the difference between roller and solar screen shades?
A solar screen shade is a roller shade with an open-weave fabric. It cuts glare, heat and UV while you can still see outside during the day. At night, when it's brighter inside, screen fabrics don't give full privacy, so bedrooms usually get a room-darkening fabric instead.
Can roller shades block all light?
Blackout fabrics block nearly all light through the fabric. A little light can show at the edges; side channels or a fascia help, and we'll talk through the best setup for your windows.
The Vignette® Modern Roman Shades exceeded our expectations. They add a touch of elegance to the entire room. The fabric Bridget helped me pick out looks perfect in our space. Greg and Nolan installed them quickly and neatly. They helped me install the app and provided me with all the instructions on maintenance and care. Working with Bridget was a great experience. Highly recommended The Well Dressed Window!
Love, love, love the ease of decision making for my new abode. Working with Bridget and Tina made it a breeze. Very knowledgeable gals! Order came in a very timely manner. Appointment set for installation. Installers made a quick, but very thorough installation, and left me a very satisfied customer. I’d highly recommend The Well Dressed Windows to anyone looking for new or updating their window coverings!
Had a wonderful experience! I just put a down payment on my window treatment. This is a family business I so enjoyed working with Bridget. Bridget is an outgoing person that you think you have known her for years. She makes you feel very comfortable and there was never ever any pressure . We went through many books to find the right fabric came up with a design for the window. I felt very relaxed and it was quite fun. I would highly recommend her and her entire staff. Everyone was very delightful to deal with!
We’ve used the Well Dressed Window multiple times for our home, and are always more than pleased with the attention to detail, consultation with the designers and the installations. Taylor helped pick out our latest shades and we could not be more thrilled with how they turned out. Installation was very precise and efficient. We love this business and will continue using them for any window covering needs!
The staff is amazing! Pleasant and thorough … double checking measurements, walking through the process from beginning to the actual installation. We are doing the window treatments in three phases as we are in the middle of remodeling the primary bedroom and bath. No pressure sale … they worked around our remodeling schedule. They did the final measuring for all three phases at one time … saving us $$$. Looking forward to the second and third phases.
We had a broken blind with some other issues (installed by another company). I called TWDW and they were very responsive & eager to help us out. Within a few days our blinds were fixed. They gave us valuable feedback and a plan moving forward. Great people, very kind! We will definitely continue to use them.
