Exploring the Premium Range of Graber Window Treatments
When it comes to outfitting your indoor windows, one size definitely does not fit all. Windows come in different shapes, face different directions, and serve different purposes depending on the room. Graber understands this diversity, offering a comprehensive lineup of custom products designed to elevate both the fashion and functionality of your home.

Custom Graber Window Treatments: Blinds and Shades
For many homeowners, the journey begins with classic blinds and shades. Graber’s selection is engineered to provide precise light control, privacy, and aesthetic appeal:
- Cellular Shades: Often called honeycomb shades, these are a homeowner favorite. Their unique cellular pockets trap air to create a powerful layer of insulation at your window. Learn more in our Cellular Shades overview and check out An Essential Guide to Graber Window Shades to see how they keep your home comfortable year-round.
- Roller & Solar Shades: If you love clean lines and modern simplicity, roller shades are the answer. For rooms hit by intense sun, indoor solar shades reduce glare and block up to 99% of harmful UV rays while preserving your view of the outdoors.
- Wood & Faux Wood Blinds: Natural wood blinds bring warmth and organic texture to living rooms and bedrooms. For high-humidity spots like bathrooms and kitchens, faux wood blinds offer the classic look of real wood but resist warping and moisture. For a complete breakdown of choices, read our Graber Custom Blinds: A Quick Start Guide.
Elegant Shutters and Tailored Drapery
If you are looking to make a architectural statement or add soft, luxurious layers to a room, Graber’s shutters and drapery offer unmatched sophistication:
- Wood & Composite Shutters: Shutters act like fine furniture for your windows. Real wood shutters offer timeless, heritage-quality beauty, while composite shutters provide incredible durability in high-traffic or high-moisture areas.

- Tailored Drapery: Drapes add depth, texture, and dramatic height to a space. Graber’s curated fabric collection includes gorgeous textures, modern patterns, and rich solids that can stand alone or layer beautifully over shades and blinds.
Smart Home Integration with Motorized Graber Window Treatments
Imagine your window shades automatically adjusting to block the afternoon heat or opening gently to let in the morning sun—all without you lifting a finger.

Customization, Quality, and the Showroom Experience
At The Color House, we believe custom indoor window treatments should be tailored to your lifestyle. Graber makes this easy by offering a vast library of fabrics, trend-inspired colors, and specialized lift systems. Whether you prefer a subtle, tone-on-tone neutral or a bold, textured weave, you can customize your selection down to the very last detail.
To help you compare the core shade options, here is a quick breakdown of how they perform across key categories:
| Feature | Cellular Shades | Roller Shades | Solar Shades (Indoor) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulation & Energy Efficiency | Excellent (Honeycomb design) | Moderate | Low to Moderate |
| UV & Glare Protection | Very Good | Good (Depends on fabric opacity) | Excellent (Preserves view) |
| Light Control Range | Sheer to Blackout | Sheer to Blackout | Varies by openness level (1%–10%) |
| Best Fit Rooms | Bedrooms, drafty spaces | Living rooms, minimalist spaces | Sunrooms, home offices |
Energy Efficiency and UV Protection
Windows are one of the primary sources of energy loss in any home. Graber’s honeycomb design in their cellular shades acts as a barrier, keeping indoor temperatures stable and lowering heating and cooling costs.
Additionally, protecting your home’s interior is critical. Over time, sunlight can fade hardwood floors, artwork, and furniture. Graber’s Window Shades | Designer & Custom Options | Graber Blinds and specialized Solar Shades | Graber Blinds provide exceptional UV protection, filtering out harmful rays while still allowing beautiful, natural light to illuminate your living space.
