Matt & Elise Anderson — Owners
Thank you for visiting Made in the Shade Eastern Iowa! We're Matt and Elise Anderson, and we're proud to bring concierge, in-home window treatment service to our neighbors across the Quad Cities, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and the surrounding communities. As an independently, locally owned business, we bring the full showroom of custom blinds, shutters, shades, drapery, outdoor shades, decorative grilles, and smart motorization directly to your door — so you can see how Iowa's changing light and your own rooms affect every choice. From historic homes to new builds, our goal is simple: help our neighbors love their homes and stay comfortable through all four Iowa seasons.
The Best Showroom Is Your Own Home
The best place to choose the perfect window treatment is in the room where it will live. Our business is built around a free, no-pressure consultation in the comfort of your home. We bring the showroom to you, so you can see how Iowa's seasonal light, your room colors, and your furnishings affect your options — no trip to a big-box store, no guesswork. From a drafty historic window to a tall, hard-to-reach specialty window, we provide precise measurements, professional installation, and smart-home setup — then clean up completely, with no furniture to move and no mess.
