Shades West

Shades West carries more than just blinds and shades. Alongside custom treatments, they offer layered fabrics—drapery panels, valances, and Roman shades—plus motorized options for quick adjustments. If you need sun control, cellular shades and shutters create layered privacy without blocking views. Quick swatches let you test options at home before committing. Elsewhere, motorized tracks route cords out of sight for cleaner lines.

Find them in the Garment District: 1411 Broadway, between 39th and 40th Streets. The storefront sits steps from the subway hubs where garment workers once swapped bolts of fabric; today it’s window specialists swapping mini and maxi treatments. Daylight pours through the plate-glass windows, turning every sample into an instant preview.

Call before you swing by (917) 755-1656; a specialist will walk you through a free after-hours estimate. When you’re ready to place an order, the map at the bottom of their listing makes quick work of the route. The sidewalks calve into smaller side streets lined with midtown loading docks and ramen kitchens, perfect for back-to-back errands.
