Motorized Shades for NYC Apartments
Motorized window treatments are particularly popular in Manhattan apartments, where windows are often difficult to reach, multiple windows need to be operated simultaneously, or smart-home integration is a priority. CMI is one of the only dealers in the NY metro area authorized to offer Lutron's exclusive Palladiom motorized shades — a hand-finished system favored by architects and interior designers for luxury residential projects throughout Manhattan and the five boroughs. Battery-operated motorized shades are also available for buildings where wiring is impractical.
Custom Drapery for Manhattan Interiors
Manhattan's diverse architectural styles — from pre-war classics to contemporary lofts — call for a wide range of drapery solutions. CMI fabricates custom drapery in every style, from Ripple Fold panels that glide along a low-profile track in a modern apartment to traditional Pinch Pleat panels with artisan hardware in a classic pre-war residence. We work with interior designers and homeowners throughout Manhattan to bring their vision to life, whether supplying fabric from our extensive showroom collection or fabricating from the client's own material.
Roman Shades & Roller Shades in NYC
For Manhattan apartments where clean lines and minimal profiles are preferred, roller shades and Roman shades are consistently among CMI's most popular products. Solar roller shades preserve Manhattan's iconic views while reducing glare and UV exposure. Hartmann & Forbes natural woven shades add organic texture to contemporary interiors. CMI's NYC projects span the full spectrum — from studio apartments to full-floor penthouses — and every installation receives the same meticulous attention to detail.
Norman, Graber & Hunter Douglas in NYC
CMI carries a curated selection of brands specifically suited to NYC apartment projects. Norman roller shades and shutters offer precise light control with a wide range of fabric and finish options. Graber provides an accessible range of roller and cellular shades ideal for whole-apartment projects. Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades — one of CMI's top-ranking products — combine the look of a roller shade with the soft texture of a fabric shade, making them a popular choice for Manhattan living rooms and bedrooms. CMI also carries Lafayette's Allure Transitional Banded Shades, which offer a similar layered effect at a competitive price point. All products are available with battery-operated motorization — no wiring required, ideal for NYC apartments.
