Custom Window Coverings in Santa Monica
Coastal Light, Ocean Views, and UV Protection
Santa Monica's oceanfront boulevards and bluff-side homes enjoy abundant daylight, but that same exposure brings glare, heat gain, and UV fading for art and furnishings. Grace designs custom window treatments that balance the bright coastal light with comfort, privacy, and clear views.
From north-south facing condos along the beach to hillside homes above Montana Avenue, each Santa Monica residence has its own light and privacy profile. Grace brings fabric books and shade samples directly to your home so you can see materials in your actual lighting.
Solar shades are a frequent choice for Santa Monica's west-facing rooms, cutting glare off the water while preserving outward views during the day. For evening privacy in glass-walled condos, Grace often layers sheer drapery or blackout liners behind a decorative panel.
Motorized shades are especially useful for tall oceanfront glazing and hard-to-reach clerestory windows, letting you adjust light and privacy without leaving your seat. Grace coordinates measurement, specification, and professional installation from start to finish.

Santa Monica FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions for Santa Monica Homeowners
Can window treatments reduce glare off the ocean in Santa Monica?
Yes. Solar shades and light-filtering fabrics can reduce glare while helping preserve outward views. Fabric openness and opacity should be selected carefully for your exposure.
How can I protect art and furnishings from fading near the coast?
UV-filtering shade fabrics, lined drapery, solar shades, and scheduled motorized shades can help reduce direct sun exposure and support long-term interior protection.
Can I keep my ocean view and still have privacy at night?
Yes, depending on the fabric and time of day. Solar and sheer materials can preserve daytime views, while evening privacy may require lined, layered, or blackout options.
Are motorized shades worth it for tall Santa Monica windows?
Often, yes. Motorized shades are especially helpful for tall glass, wide sliding doors, clerestory windows, and hard-to-reach areas common in oceanfront condos.
