About Lumé Custom Shade and Drapery

Built on
expertise.
Not a franchise.

I built this business on decades of real experience, one home at a time. I wasn't hired by a company and sent out after a two-week training course to learn as I go. This isn't a franchise. I'm the expert you'd hope to find, and exactly who shows up at your door.

Our Story

A different kind of
window covering company.

At Lumé Custom Shade and Drapery, we've built our business around one core belief: every client deserves a window treatment experience that's as enjoyable as the results. We listen carefully to understand your goals and your vision, then we bring the showroom to you.

I show you what would work best for your space (after we talk things over), then we scale to fit your priorities. Other companies size you up the moment they pull into your driveway and show you the "budget options" because that's what they assume you can afford. I've been in this business 30 years. I know how it works.

- James, Designer

Serving the Greater Seattle metro area, James delivers signature service from the first consultation to the finished window, with the highest quality custom blinds, shades, motorized options, shutters, and draperies.

We listen. We design. And it shows we cared. We don't push products. We don't upsell. That's not marketing copy. That's what our clients tell us, in their own words, again and again.

What sets us apart

01

Decades of Real Experience

Our knowledge comes from years of hands-on design work, not a corporate training manual. We've seen every window, every challenge, and every style imaginable.

02

No Pressure. Ever.

We're not here to hit a quota. We're here to find the right solution for your home. Our clients choose us because we listen first and recommend second.

03

Signature In-Home Service

We bring the full showroom to your home: samples, expertise, and a design eye trained to see what works best in your specific space and light.
