“
Working with Custom Shades of London was a very easy experience. Vanessa Vitta
was professional and knowledgeable as to what I required, and answered all my questions.
She was great. Ben, the installer, also very professional, and did the installation on time
and also did a great job. I would highly recommend them both, as well as Custom Shades
of London.

We are super happy with our experience at Custom Shades. Vanessa, particularly, was excellent to work with. We really appreciated their willingness to bring product samples to our house, so we could be confident about our purchase. It's a big investment to redo blinds on an entire floor.

I have Hunter Douglas power honey comb blinds that I bought10 years ago. The store went out of business. When the clip and battery holder broke Custom Shades were so helpful. They gave me the clip and the batery holder to replace the old ones. Ben was super helpful as was Patty. Customer service was absolutely amazing. Strongly recommend the for shades and shutters

The best customer service in London!

The store is beautifully laid out, clean and organized. Patty and Sydney went completely out of their way to help me with a couple of used blinds I had.

The merchandise is first class! If you want to be tested with kindness, respect and interest, this is your store!

Customizing Your Heritance Wood Shutters

Heritance® Wood Shutters offer a timeless aesthetic, meticulously crafted from 100% natural hardwood. These shutters bring classic style and enduring beauty to any room, enhanced by artisanal techniques that speak to their quality and heritage.

Experience the perfect blend of form and function with Heritance wood shutters. Their natural materials and expert craftsmanship ensure they are not just window coverings, but a sophisticated addition to your home’s interior design. For those with unique window shapes, see our Shop By Window page.

The beauty of Heritance® Wood Shutters lies not only in their material but also in the extensive customization options available. Each shutter is built to your exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and aesthetic for your unique windows. You can choose from a variety of stains and paint colors to seamlessly integrate with your existing decor, or select from artisanal techniques like glazing, distressing, or even a custom color match to create a truly one-of-a-kind look. These options allow you to tailor your window treatments to reflect your personal style and enhance the overall ambiance of your home. Heritance® shutters can also be built for specialty shapes such as arched windows; ask us during your consultation.

When considering the materials, it’s helpful to understand the differences between wood options. While Heritance shutters are crafted from 100% natural hardwood, other wood blinds might offer different characteristics. If you’d like a lower-maintenance option, compare them with NewStyle® Composite Shutters and Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. Additionally, for those interested in the functionality and technology of window coverings, understanding the benefits of motorized options can be beneficial. Our operating systems page covers the options.

The durability and maintenance of your window treatments are also important considerations. Heritance wood shutters are designed for longevity, but proper care ensures they retain their beauty for years to come. If your shutters ever need adjusting or repair, our service team can help. For homeowners looking to enhance their home’s energy efficiency, exploring options that contribute to this goal is often a priority. Our FAQ on what makes a window covering energy efficient can help you identify products that offer both style and savings.
