Make Your Pleated Shades Uniquely Yours

At Black’s Shutters Shades & Blinds, we know no two windows—or homes—are exactly alike. That’s why we offer pleated shades made to fit your space perfectly. Choose from cordless pleated shades, classic corded designs, or motorized pleated shades for ultimate ease. You also have the option of top down bottom up pleated shades, which allow light in from above while keeping the lower half covered for privacy.
Want complete darkness? Try room darkening pleated shades in your bedroom or media room. Prefer soft glow in your living room? Our fabric pleated shades for windows come in various opacities for flexible light control. Every shade is custom cut to your window dimensions—whether wide, narrow, tall, or small.
We offer a wide variety of fabrics, colors, and pleat sizes to match any design scheme. Whether you’re covering one window or outfitting the whole home, you’ll find the perfect match for your vision. With our help, your custom pleated shades will be as practical as they are beautiful.

Beautiful, Folded Fabric That Adds Texture

The defining feature of pleated shades is their crisp, folded fabric design. Unlike flat window coverings, these folds add subtle depth and softness to any space. The result is a textured, clean-lined appearance that works in both modern and traditional settings. At Black’s Shutters Shades & Blinds, we offer fabric pleated shades in a variety of patterns and finishes—each crafted for elegance and function. Whether you want a light, airy look or a bold, room-darkening effect, the pleats bring structure and dimension without overwhelming your space.

Room Darkening Pleated Shades for Peace & Privacy

When you want total light control, pleated room darkening shades are an excellent solution. These shades are lined with light-blocking fabric, making them ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms. They help darken the space for better sleep, reduce screen glare, and provide extra insulation around your windows. Our room darkening shades are also available in cordless and top down bottom up configurations, giving you the flexibility to control privacy and sunlight with ease. They blend comfort with practicality while still keeping a soft, fabric-forward look in your space.

What to Know Before You Buy

Smart Features and Cordless Options
Cordless pleated shades offer a safer option for homes with children or pets. Some styles even come with top-down/bottom-up features, letting you control light and privacy with ease while maintaining a neat, modern look.

Top Mount vs. Inside Mount Explained
Inside mount pleated shades sit within the frame for a built-in appearance. Top mount or outside mount shades install above the window, covering more area and blocking more light around the edges.
Best Fabrics for Light Control and Look
Light-filtering fabrics create a warm glow, while room darkening pleated shades offer better control for bedrooms or offices.
How to Care for Your Pleated Shades
Keep your pleated shades looking their best with regular maintenance. Gently dust using a soft cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment. For spot cleaning, use mild soap and water, but avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the fabric to preserve the pleats and liners.

Choosing pleated shades is about more than looks—they also improve energy efficiency and home comfort. With so many styles and options, we help ensure your shades fit your needs, your space, and your lifestyle.

Expert Tips for Stylish, Practical Pleated Shades

When picking pleated shades, start with your room’s needs. In bedrooms, go with room darkening pleated shades for restful sleep. For living rooms, light-filtering pleated window shades let in a soft glow. Want more flexibility? Try top down pleated shades for privacy and sunlight at the same time. If you have kids or pets, choose cordless pleated shades for safety and simplicity. Also, consider color—neutral tones blend easily, while textured fabrics add depth. For tricky windows or larger openings, we recommend professional measurement to ensure the perfect fit and function.
