Beyond Shades was wonderful to work with! This was our first time buying shades and they took the time to find the... right option for our new home. We ordered the shades right before the shelter in place started and even during a pandemic they were fantastic. I got frequent updates on the status on our shades and when they could finally be installed, our installer made sure we felt comfortable/were happy with everything. I’d highly recommend them to everyone! It says a lot about a company who has excellent customer service during a pandemic. Can’t thank them enough! Love the way they make our house feel even more like a home.read more

From my first visit to the Beyond Shades store all the way through to the installation my experience was very pleasant.... Rachel was knowledgeable and professional and offered welcome suggestions. Greg, the installer, was meticulous with his measuring and arrived right on time for the install. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Beyond Shades again! Thanks Rachel!read more

I cannot say more good things about Rachel and Beyond Shades. Rachel is very nice and patient. Most importantly, she is... truly honest! It was very easy and straightforward to do business with Rachel. Of course I shop around as you all do! Rachel was the first one I consulted and she offered me the lowest price. Some other vendors later wanted to match hers but sorry, too late, honesty should be rewarded! And the products and installation were directly from Hunter Douglas that are top notch, needless to mention! I really want to recommend Beyond Shades to everyone, especially to those who live in Chicago downtown! Rachel can save you thousands of dollars for the exact same product comparing to those vendors in downtown! It is definitely worth of the drive to visit her showroom in the suburb!read more

I absolutely love my Pirouettes and Custom panels from Beyond Shades. Rachel & her team exceeded my expectations. I... knew I was in the right hands when I walked into Rachel’s gallery in Oak Brook, and after we briefly talked about my color and style preference, she pulled out several fabric books and as I started going through them I pulled out a few and said, “I LIKE this one & that one”. She said, “let’s keep looking until you LOVE it!” This was her response to everything from rod style/color, finials, panels to pirouette color/texture. And once I thought I knew what I wanted she said great, I’m sending swatches to your house so you can see them in your space before you decide. That was the best advice ever because the panels I thought I liked best are not the panels I ended up with. As soon as I opened the swatch of the one I chose, while standing in the living room, I knew immediately that was the one. Treat yourself or your significant other to new window treatments for Valentine’s Day, Birthday, Mother’s Day or just because!read more

I had a terrific experience with beyond shades. I was looking for a specific blind sold by a specific manufacturer. I... did a Google search and found this company. The customer service has been phenomenal. My representative was so patient with explaining my options and what would work best for me. She priced so many options out and have great recommendations. The blinds arrived ahead of schedule. My installer was also terrific. He was friendly, fast and efficient. My blinds are beautiful!!! I love them and have nothing but good things to say about the construction of them. I'm glad Google led me to them. This was a great experience. I would 100% recommend them for customized blinds.read more

Rachel was excellent to work with. Every appointment was timely. She had honest and helpful suggestions, didn’t... oversell, and was very flexible when we wanted to make some changes. She was always available over text to bounce ideas off of, even nights and weekends. Best of all, the window treatments came In super fast and installation was fast and they even helped me fix some other broken blinds in my house while they were here. Highly recommend!read more

From the moment I stepped into the showroom I sensed selecting my new window treatments would be a great experience.... Michelle asked all the right questions to show me options (full size displays), and then helped me to zero in on what really appealed to me. When I was ready, Rachel came to my home with large size samples of the type and color treatments I liked. Again, with all the right questions she helped me make a decision. Pricing was right for my budget so we placed the order. Within a week (a holiday week at that) Kary came by to measure. He answered many questions (again!) and explained how the shades would be installed. They were ordered, and arrived ahead of schedule. Louis was able to install the shades on the same day they called to set a time, and did a great job! From the short start to finish timeline, everyone (mentioned above plus a few others who I talked with on the phone) was wonderful to deal with. I am extremely pleased with the outcome. This is truly a topnotch company, and I highly recommend Beyond Shades in Oakbrook Terrace for ALL your window coverings, you will be glad you did!read more

Excellent experience beginning to end. I knew I wanted to change from drapes to shades in my Family Room, so I stopped... by for information. The Showroom is amazing and the staff friendly and professional. I was sent samples prior to my appointment. At my appointment, the Principal Designer/Owner gave me excellent ideas for window covering. Follow-up was spot on, my shades actually arrived early. Installation was very professional and the shades are perfect. I am very happy with the results and the whole experience.read more

What an awesome experience with Beyond Shades! Rachel Gregersen provided an in home appointment and came totally... prepared to meet any and all needs. So appreciative of her suggestions while at the same time providing that comfortable space allowing me to freely browse through all options without feeling pressured or rushed. I cannot believe the turnaround time from when I placed the order and in a matter of a couple of weeks the installer (also professional) installed everything and it looks gorgeous! I am so pleased and have no reservations as it relates to recommending Beyond Shades!read more

I moved into a condo and needed a vertical blind for the patio door/window. Several people on a a Facebook group I... follow recommended Beyond Shades so I called them to get an estimate. They came out and I picked the one I wanted. They placed the order and a month or so later I had my new Hunter Douglas vertical blind. Was very happy with the whole experience; the selection process and the installation were great!read more

This is the second time I have used Rachel with Beyond Shades with Kary as the professional installer and their service... and design work does not disappoint. The initial visit with Rachel to choose window treatments to pull kitchen and den together was fun, and we looked through many options together. She listened to my concerns and thoughts, and steered me in the right direction. After a kitchen redo, I certainly needed some guidance.Today installation is done, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the treatments bring the rooms together. I am so very pleased. I may be done with interior decorating for a while now, but will be passing on Rachel's information to all my friends. I cannot say enough good things about the entire experience!

We needed full blinds installations for our new condo quickly, and Beyond Shades was instantly helpful and... accommodating. From the initial Q/A on their website where they reached out within the hour, to arranging for a free in-home consultation after our standard work hours when we could be home within a week, to ordering and ensuring the blinds were installed quickly and beautifully the moment the custom blinds came in. Highly recommend, and would definitely use them again for our next home.read more

Rachel came to our home to assist me with making recommendations for window treatments for our kitchen and family room.... I kind of already had an idea of what I wanted but she had other options to choose from as well. She was very professional, engaged and the entire process was flawless. The team kept me in the loop from beginning to end and my window treatments came in earlier than expected in which they contacted me right away. I absolutely love them and highly recommend Beyond Shades.read more

I bought blinds for all the windows in our new home and couldn't be more pleased. Having never bought blinds before... (this is our first home), I was overwhelmed, but Rachel came and helped us pick blinds for every window. She has a great sense of what the customer likes and what looks good and will function well for every window. And Rose and Victoria (who work at the store) were great too when I had questions and came to visit and check out all the blind styles in person. Lastly, the installation crew was great about contacting and scheduling installation. They were also friendly and helpful answering my questions and making some tweaks of certain blinds while onsite to make sure I was completely happy with my blinds. I highly recommend Beyond Shades if changing one or many windows in your home. And you can't go wrong with Hunter Douglas - best quality window treatments on the market!read more
