LUXURY WINDOW TREATMENTS, DESIGNED AROUND YOU

Hi, I’m Kim Nguyen, founder and owner of A Shade Above, proudly serving Houston and surrounding areas.

With over four years of experience, I created A Shade Above to bring beautiful, functional, and thoughtfully designed window treatments into every home.

I personally work with each client from consultation through installation, ensuring every detail feels intentional and tailored to your space.

For me, luxury is in the details the fabric, proportion, texture, light, and finishing touches that bring a room together.

Thoughtful design. Exceptional craftsmanship.

A beautifully finished home.

OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

We believe window treatments should do more than complete a room they should enhance the way it looks, feels, and functions.

Every project is thoughtfully customized around your style, needs, and home. From understated shades to beautifully tailored drapery and motorization, each details is selected with care.

Stories From Our Clients

Thoughtful design, professional service, and beautiful results-shared by the homeowners we serve.

Kim is great to work with - she is responsive, fast, and handles everything with care. She scheduled a consultation within a few days of me reaching out and the measurements were so fast and easy! It also doesn't take long for the treatments to be made, and Kim is incredibly flexible with scheduling. The shades are great quality and custom-made. I highly recommend A Shade Above if you're in Houston!

Review We had a positive experience with A Shade Above. The team was professional, motivated and exuded a culture of good work ethic. I had no problem letting them install whole I was overseas and am satisfied with the good outcome. 😊 Text

Rick Brown Homeowner

I cannot say enough good things about this company. Kim and Erick were amazing. They came to my home for the consultation and made everything easy. The fabrics were exactly what I wanted. Erick came back for install and did an amazing job. It came out even better than I had pictured in my head. I wish I had more windows just to be able to hire them again. Everything from the service to the quality was perfect.

EDWIN MARTIN x BIG BANK Homeowner

Kim and Eric are PHENOMENAL!!! Very professional and their prices are unmatched! My daughter loved her bedroom curtains! We will definitely be using them again soon!!

Shantia Taylor Homeowner

I love my new blinds!! I was getting new windows so it was a perfect time for me to finally get the new blinds I've always wanted. I have the zebra blinds because I needed to make sure they looked more like a standard blind from the outside due to HOA requirements. I also have a Spanish style home so I was looking for that balance btw modern and traditional. I never thought these blinds would add so much more beauty to my home. I love the remote control adjustment as well. Worth every penny for this feature. Above all 'A Shade Above' offered such great help from the initial design assistance, to the amazing selection of top quality options, to the great installation team, and continued help when I have had questions. I'm extremely thrilled with my complete experience.

Christine Medrano Homeowner

Kim & Trinh were extremely responsive, helpful, professional, & kind. The drapes we ordered are beautiful & were installed in about 90 minutes. It looks great, keeping the sun/heat out of our bedroom. They kept us updated on when to expect to schedule the installation & provided many samples of fabric/colors to choose from. Their price was also within our budget. We would highly recommend A Shade Above for window treatments!

Christina Farrens Rugen Homeowner

A Shade Above did a splendid job installing window treatments in my new townhome. Kim, the owner, and her assistants, came to my home with a huge set of samples and ideas to choose from. They considered my ideas, had great suggestions for improving them, and then had all the options to make it all work. Once we had everything picked out, ordering went very smoothly. And once everything was in from the manufacturer, installation was top notch. The man who installed them was careful, precise, and punctual. The final results exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier.

Kevin Keating Homeowner

Amazing results on my big back patio window/sliding French doors. The color suggestion came out nice and the installation was quick. I was surprised at how quick the blinds were manufactured and shipped!

=\Shadi Taha Homeowner

Kim and her team did an amazing job on the drape that we ordered. From picking out the product to installing it, the whole process was a great experience!

Trihn is so sweet,professional and kept in communication with us the whole time in regards to the process of purchasing,paying and installing. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone.

Heileigh Falls Homeowner

Had a great experience with A Shade Above. I picked the shades I wanted, they came and measured and then installed as soon as they arrived. The process was seamless and the pricing was excellent too as window treatments are always surprisingly expensive.

Margaret Huber Homeowner

Great experience! Kim helped me select the right blinds for my project. The entire process was easy and everything went perfectly from beginning to end. I love how the blinds look in my office! I’m planning on future projects. I recommend A Shade Above 100%!!!!

Kimberley - Amish Craftsman Furniture Homeowners

I had dreaded this project, but Kim, Trinh, and Toby at A Shade Above TX couldn't have made it any easier or enjoyable. With clear and frequent communication throughout the entire process; from selection, proposal acceptance, to installation and support, it has been a great experience. The shades are exactly what we needed, and we are now ready to stave off more of the Houston summer heat this year. Thank you Kim, Trinh, Toby, and the rest of the support staff.
