The Perfect Shades for Your Lake Tahoe Home


When it comes to choosing the right window treatments for your Lake Tahoe home, comfort, privacy, and style are key—especially in the Sierra Mountains known for intense sun exposure, snowy winters, and seasonal second-home living.


At Design Incline, we make the process seamless from selection to installation. Whether you’re outfitting a new home, refreshing a room, or designing a second-home retreat, we help you choose the perfect Hunter Douglas solutions to match your lifestyle. We offer both in-studio consultations and in-home visits throughout Incline Village and the greater Lake Tahoe area.

Why Window Treatments Matter in Lake Tahoe


1. Energy Efficiency

Lake Tahoe’s climate brings sun-soaked summers and frigid winters. Insulated window treatments like Duette® Honeycomb Shades help maintain consistent indoor temperatures—reducing heating and cooling costs in your vacation or year-round home.

2. UV Protection

With 300+ days of sunshine, it’s important to protect flooring, furniture, and artwork from fading. Designer Screen Shades filter out harmful UV rays without blocking your views.

3. Privacy & Security

Away from your home? Automated window coverings can be scheduled to open and close, giving the illusion of occupancy and offering peace of mind while you’re gone.
