Black Rock sits on the west side of Lake Coeur d'Alene, just north of Rockford Bay, around the private Golf Club at Black Rock, a Jim Engh design opened in 2003. Its canyons, trees and dramatic changes in elevation give many homes long views over the lake, and the same is true of luxury homes all around the lake's shoreline.
Elevation means more sky and more light
Homes set high above the water see more sky and catch light earlier and later in the day. That is beautiful, but it also means more glare on screens, more heat in summer and faster fading. Solar shades manage all three while keeping the view.
West-facing and afternoon sun
Rooms facing west over the lake get the strongest sun in the late afternoon. We often pair a lighter solar shade for daytime with a room-darkening shade or drapery for the evening, so you can watch the sunset and then close the room in.
Motorized shades
Tall windows, clerestories and great rooms are where motorized shades earn their keep. Group every shade into one scene, let them lower before the afternoon glare and rise at sunset, or control them by remote, app or voice. With the smart hub they work with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Home, and you can run them from your phone when you're away. Rechargeable battery motors mean no new wiring in a finished home.
Custom drapery by Carole Fabrics
For living rooms, bedrooms and the evening, custom drapery adds warmth, softness and privacy. Our draperies are handcrafted by Carole Fabrics, with more than 5,000 fabrics to choose from, and can run on a motorized track so even very wide or tall windows open and close at a touch. Layered over a solar or blackout shade, drapery gives you the view by day and a warm, private room at night.
Luxury homes around the lake
We design window coverings for luxury homes all around Lake Coeur d'Alene, from the west shore to the Gozzer Ranch and Harrison area and the lakefront neighborhoods in town. See also our guide to shades for Coeur d'Alene view homes.
Free measuring and installation
Every project starts with a free in-home design consultation led by Layla, our lead designer, who has more than 20 years of interior design experience. We bring samples to your home, measure every window ourselves and install everything with our own local team. Measuring and installation are free, and most of our products carry a lifetime warranty.
