Preferred Brands

Motorized Window Shades

Motorized window shades sport many benefits over manually operated shades. Cord free shades are safer for pets and children and soon to be a mandated industry standard. Hardwired shades (typically available only on new construction or with window replacement) never need charging and run on low voltage.

Rechargeable shades, available for most window types, can run off a single charge for up to six months. They seamlessly raise and lower and can programmed to operate at specific times of day such as sunrise and sunset even when you are away from home.

All of the brands we specify offer various types of motorization. Most shades can be operated via remote or via an app on your tablet or phone and can tie into smart home systems, Google, and Alexa.

Custom Draperies & Drapery Hardware

In addition to window shades and shutters, we also design, fabricate, and install custom draperies as well as custom Roman shades, valances, and other decorative window treatments.

Draperies can be purely aesthetic, helping to make a small window feel taller or wider, but they can also be functional by adding an extra layer of light control and acoustical relief. From modern and minimal traversing panels to pleated and traditional draperies, we can design the draperies of your dreams to enhance your space.

Custom drapery hardware requires careful consideration and is a crucial element to any drapery design. Proper specification and installation is a must. We proudly specify Kirsch drapery hardware in addition to other high quality designer hardware brands.

Morris Lare partners with local workrooms in the Des Moines area to transform our vision for your draperies into reality. We work with seasoned installers to measure for, advise on, and hang your new draperies or treatments for a seamless white-glove experience from start to finish.
