Shades & blinds in Midway

A small town with a European feel

Midway sits on the west side of the Heber Valley at about 5,600 feet, right up against the Wasatch Mountain State Park and Soldier Hollow. The town's Swiss heritage shows in its chalet-style homes, steep roofs, timber balconies and divided-light windows, and in resort properties around the Homestead Crater and Zermatt. It's a place where softer, more tailored window treatments often look more at home than stark modern shades.

Window treatments for chalet-style homes

Homes with timber details, warm wood and stone suit Roman shades in natural linens and woven textures, especially in bedrooms and dining rooms. Divided-light and casement windows need careful measuring so shades clear cranks and handles. Some deep European-style openings are perfect for inside mounts that tuck the shade into the window. Where windows are shallow, an outside mount above the trim keeps the look clean. We'll measure each one and show you how it will look.

Views up to the mountains

Many Midway homes look west and north up to the Wasatch ridgeline and toward Timpanogos, or across the valley to the Jordanelle hills. For rooms built around those views, solar shades or a sheer or dual shade keep the mountains in sight while softening the sun. Great rooms with tall glass may call for battery-powered motorized shades, especially where you can't reach the top of the window.

Resort and vacation rentals

Midway has a lot of vacation homes and rentals for visitors coming for golf, the hot springs crater, cross-country skiing at Soldier Hollow and summer events. Rentals need durable, cordless shades, real darkness in bedrooms, and controls guests can figure out without a manual. Neutral backings help a rental look tidy from outside. See our guide to shades for short-term rentals.

HOAs and town character

Many Midway subdivisions and resort communities have HOAs that care about exterior appearance. If yours has guidelines on window coverings, share them with us and we'll bring fabric samples that fit.
