DES MOINES & CENTRAL IOWA · BLINDS & SHADES

Window shades & blinds, dressed for the way you live.

Made-to-measure window shades & blinds — motorized if you like — fitted to the light in your Des Moines home. Six collections, done well, and nothing you don’t need.

Six collections. No overwhelm.

Apollo is a Des Moines window shades & blinds specialist. We keep it simple on purpose — six shade styles we know inside and out, each custom-made to your exact window. Pick the feeling you’re after; we’ll handle the fit.

THE COLLECTIONS

Window shades & blinds for every room.

Cellular · Honeycomb

Cellular Shades

Warm in January, cool in July. Honeycomb cells trap air at the glass — the smart pick for Iowa.

Roller

Roller Shades

Modern lines that roll up and out of sight when you want the view — one clean panel when you don’t.

Roman

Roman Shades

Fabric, folded just so. Soft, structured pleats that bring warmth and a tailored, timeless feel.

Shangri-La

Shangri-La Shades

Daylight, turned soft. Sheer vanes float between two mesh layers — open for the view, closed for a glow.

Vertical

Vertical Blinds

For patio doors and wide windows — louvers rotate for light and slide aside for the view.

Zebra · Dual-Sheer

Zebra Blinds

Sheer and solid bands in one shade — one pull takes you from open view to soft light to private.

MADE TO MEASURE

Every shade is custom-built to your exact window dimensions — no cut-down stock sizes.

MOTORIZE IT

Remote, mobile app, or voice control — available across every shade & blind collection.

MECHANISM & CONTROL

SIX WAYS TO OPEN A SHADE

A quiet POM chain in five colors — with a stainless option for humid rooms.

Wand & Pull Rod

A simple wand or pull rod, with no exposed cord to worry about.

Cordless

Push up, pull down — fully cord-free and it holds securely at any height.

Battery Motor

A rechargeable motor with a handheld remote; app control optional.

Wired Motor

A hard-wired motor that never needs charging — pairs with a wall switch.

Smart Motor

Works with Alexa, Google Home, and smart-home hubs for voice and schedules.
