Interior Shades inStar, Idaho
Motorized roller shades, energy-efficient honeycomb, and natural woven wood — the perfect upgrade for Star's new construction homes. Custom measured and professionally installed. Serving Star and the Treasure Valley since 2011.
Upgrade Beyond Builder-Grade
Star is one of Idaho's fastest-growing cities. New homes deserve window treatments that match — not the basic blinds that came with the house.
New Construction Ready
Star's rapid growth means most homes are new construction with modern wiring and smart home pre-wire. Our motorized shades integrate seamlessly — whether your home has a smart hub or you're starting from scratch with Alexa or Google Home.
Extreme Summer Heat
Star sits in the open Treasure Valley floor with minimal tree cover. West-facing windows in Star's newer subdivisions get punished by afternoon sun from May through September. Solar roller shades block up to 97% of UV while preserving outward visibility.
Energy Efficiency Matters
With Idaho Power rates rising and Star's hot summers, energy-efficient window treatments pay for themselves. Honeycomb shades reduce heat transfer through windows by up to 40% — cutting your cooling costs during the months that matter most.
Builder-Grade Upgrade
Most Star homes come with basic builder-grade blinds that look dated within a few years. Upgrading to motorized roller shades, woven wood, or honeycomb shades transforms the look and feel of your home — and adds measurable resale value.
Motorized Roller Shades for Star's New Homes
Star's new construction homes are built with open floor plans, large windows, and sliding glass doors — all of which are perfectly suited for roller shades. The clean, minimal profile doesn't compete with your interior design, and the wide range of fabrics means you can dial in exactly the right amount of light control for each room.
Our Sombra Shades by Boise Blinds line makes whole-home motorization affordable for Star homeowners. Each shade runs on a 3-year rechargeable lithium battery — no hardwiring, no electrician. Schedule your shades to open at sunrise and close when the afternoon heat hits through Alexa, Google Home, or the SmartThings app.
For Star's west-facing windows, we recommend 3% solar screen in a light color. It blocks 97% of UV while maintaining outward visibility during the day — so you can still see out, but the sun's heat and glare are dramatically reduced.
Honeycomb Shades for Star's Hot Summers
Even with modern energy codes, Star's new homes lose significant energy through their windows. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, and the open valley floor means minimal shade from trees or terrain. Honeycomb shades are the most effective window treatment for reducing that heat transfer.
Double-cell honeycomb construction creates two layers of insulating air pockets between the window glass and your living space. Independent testing shows this can reduce heat transfer by up to 40% — which translates to real savings on your Idaho Power bill during Star's brutal July and August.
We carry honeycomb shades from our Sombra Shades line (motorized, 3-year battery) and Hunter Douglas Duette and Applause (the original honeycomb shade). Both are available in light filtering, room darkening, and top-down/bottom-up configurations.

Woven Wood Shades — Add Character to Star's New Builds
New construction homes in Star are well-built, but they can feel generic. Woven wood shades are one of the fastest ways to add personality and warmth. Crafted from natural bamboo, jute, rattan, and grasses, they bring organic texture that builder-grade blinds simply cannot replicate.
Our Sombra Woven Wood shades are available motorized with the same 3-year rechargeable battery system as our roller shades. Add a privacy liner for bedrooms, or leave them unlined for a soft, light-filtering effect in living areas and kitchens. They pair beautifully with the farmhouse modern and transitional styles popular in Star's newer subdivisions.
Hunter Douglas Provenance woven wood shades are also available for homeowners who want the Hunter Douglas warranty and PowerView motorization system.
