Shade School Part 2: Plan your shades before your walls go up 🏗️
A shade pocket is what hides all the equipment — the motor, the roller, the wiring — inside your ceiling or header so all you see is clean, finished trim. No visible hardware or fabric. No bulky box hanging below your window.
But that pocket has to be built into the architecture. If HVAC or framing lands in that spot first, you lose the option to conceal it. That’s why we get with your architect and builder early and call out every shade location on the plans before anything else claims that space.
Save this before your framing walk 📌
