Custom Window Treatments & Drapery in Santa Monica
Coastal light and glare specialists — UV-protective, view-preserving shades and drapery, made to measure for Santa Monica homes.
Living near the water in Santa Monica means living with the light. That gorgeous coastal glow also brings strong glare and UV that fades floors, art, and furniture — and beach-bright mornings that make blackout in the bedroom a necessity, not a luxury. Dream Curtains designs window treatments specifically for how Santa Monica homes meet the sun.
From North of Montana to Ocean Park and Sunset Park, we measure, fabricate, and install shades and drapery made to your windows. Every project begins with a free in-home consultation where we look at your exposure, your views, and the salt-air realities of coastal living before recommending a thing.
Window treatments we make & install in Santa Monica
Roller Shades
Clean, minimal, and endlessly versatile — from light-filtering to full blackout.
Roman Shades
Soft, structured folds in premium fabrics, including our signature Tulip fold.
Zebra Shades
Alternating sheer-and-solid bands that tune light and privacy in one pull — standard or blackout.
Solar Shades
Cut glare and UV while keeping your view — ideal for bright, sun-facing rooms.
Motorized / Automated Shades
Remote, app, and voice control for effortless everyday light — perfect for large or hard-to-reach windows.
Custom Drapery
Made-to-measure Pinch Pleat, Grommet, Rod Pocket, and Ripple Fold panels, sewn and lined to your windows.
Motorized shades shine on Santa Monica's big view windows and sliding doors — lower them against afternoon glare with a tap, then open the whole wall back up to the ocean when the light softens.
Every project also includes free in-home measurement, a free design consultation, professional installation, and repairs.
Treatments made for coastal light near the beach
West-facing Santa Monica windows take a beating from afternoon ocean glare and UV. Solar shades are our go-to here — they cut glare and block UV to protect hardwood floors, rugs, and furniture, while keeping the view to the water intact. For ocean-view rooms where you don't want to lose the outlook, we love sheer and layered treatments that soften the light without closing it off.
Bedrooms facing bright beach light are a different problem, and blackout roller or zebra shades solve it — real darkness for sleep, paired with a lighter daytime layer if you want dual control. In Santa Monica's mix of beach cottages, remodeled bungalows, and modern condos, we also recommend materials that hold up to salt air and humidity, and motorized shades for the large view windows and sliders that make indoor-outdoor living work.
The goal on the coast is always the same: protect the room and preserve the view. We build treatments that do both.

Santa Monica window treatment questions
What's the best window treatment for ocean glare and UV in Santa Monica?
Solar shades are ideal — they cut glare and block UV to protect your floors and furniture while keeping your view to the water. For rooms where you want to keep the outlook fully open, we pair them with sheers.
Can you provide blackout shades for a bright, beach-facing bedroom?
Yes. Blackout roller and zebra shades give true darkness for sleep, and can be layered with a daytime shade so you get both privacy and glare control.

We recommend fabrics and hardware suited to Santa Monica's coastal conditions, so your treatments look and perform well over time.
