About Us A Shade Above – Our Story
About Us A Shade Above is your trusted local source for custom blinds, shades, curtains, drapery, and window treatments in Houston, Texas, and surrounding areas. Founded and owned by Kim Nguyen, About Us A Shade Above was created to help homeowners and businesses transform their spaces with stylish, functional, and high-quality window coverings.
We believe window treatments should add more than decoration. The right blinds or shades can improve privacy, manage sunlight, reduce glare, support energy efficiency, and create a more comfortable environment. Curtains and drapery can add warmth, texture, color, and character to any room. Our goal is to help every client enjoy these benefits while finding a style they truly love.
Custom Blinds, Shades, Curtains, and More
At A Shade Above, we offer a carefully selected range of window treatment options for residential and commercial spaces. Our solutions include custom blinds, roller shades, cellular shades, Roman shades, woven wood shades, curtains, drapery, and other window covering styles.
If you want a clean and modern look, shades and blinds can provide simple light control with a polished finish. If you are looking for a softer or more elegant style, custom curtains and drapery can add depth and personality to your home. For bedrooms, media rooms, and spaces where privacy is important, blackout and room-darkening options can help create a more relaxing atmosphere.
We take the time to understand what you need before recommending products. From selecting colors and fabrics to choosing the right level of light filtering, our team helps you make confident decisions for your home or business.

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!
Kim and her crew did our house and their work was done amazingly well and they were extremely helpful during the installation. Highly recommended.
Thanks for helping me with my former and current home. The window treatments have been more than affordable and customer service has been amazing. Even when I shopped around, no business could beat your prices. I continue to recommend your products and services.
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
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.

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!!
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.

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!

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.
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!
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!
A Shade Above went above and beyond our expectations for our roller shades (30 windows),They’re absolutely beautiful! 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.
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.
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%!!!!

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.
The entire experience was incredible – from the design stage through installation and follow up! I consistently receive compliments on the blinds anytime I have visitors. I highly recommend A Shade Above TX!

I have to thank you very much to share of a Texas! I just love our new cellular shade that have both a day and night function. They are beautiful and functional. The motorization of the blinds is fantastic. No more reaching and stretching for each individual shade.
