Small windows can be tricky to cover. Limited frame depth, narrow widths, and smaller proportions often restrict your choices. But with the right design, they can become an elegant focal point rather than an afterthought.
SmartWings offers a collection of window treatments that prove small spaces deserve big style. Engineered with precision and crafted with modern elegance, our shades deliver smooth performance without sacrificing design. And here’s the real perk — SmartWings offers some of the narrowest motorized roller shades on the market, perfect for those tricky, compact windows that most brands can’t handle. Who says small can’t be smart?

-
Roller & Zebra Shades
Slim and stylish, these shades fit easily into tight window frames. Roller Shades offer a clean, minimal look, while Zebra Shades provide flexible light control with alternating sheer and solid bands — ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, or hallways.
-
Cellular Shades (Hazel / Nowa / Skylight)
Compact yet energy-efficient. The Cellular / Honeycomb structure traps air inside to keep your space comfortable year-round while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance.
-
Woven Wood Shades
Woven Wood Shades add natural warmth and soft texture to smaller windows. Light filters gently through organic weaves, creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
-
Dual Shades & Harmony Duo Plus
Two fabrics in one — light filtering and blackout — giving you day-to-night versatility. Dual Shades works beautifully for narrow frames without sacrificing sophistication.
-
Roman Shades
Perfect for adding character and softness. Fabric folds of Roman Shades draw the eye upward, making small windows appear taller and more elegant.
- Keep it clean and simple. Streamlined shades like rollers or cellulars visually open up the window area.
- Use lighter tones. Soft, neutral fabrics reflect more daylight and make the space feel brighter and more spacious.
- Mount shades higher or outside the frame to create the illusion of a larger window.
- Add smart control. Even the smallest windows can benefit from motorization — no cords, no hassle, just seamless convenience.
Every SmartWings shade is crafted to order — tailored to fit perfectly and perform beautifully. With advanced motorization options, durable materials, and meticulous attention to detail, you can count on a solution that looks as good as it works.

Will small shades look out of proportion on narrow windows?
Not at all. Each SmartWings shade is made to your exact measurements, ensuring perfect scale and balance. You can also choose a slimmer valance and lighter fabrics to keep the design visually proportional to smaller window frames.
Can I match small window shades with larger ones in the same room?
Yes. You can coordinate shades across different window sizes for a unified, cohesive look.
How do I clean and maintain small shades?
For most fabric shades, a gentle dusting or a light vacuum with a brush attachment is enough to keep them fresh. Woven wood and roller shades can be wiped with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture to preserve fabric texture and color.
Can SmartWings shades handle unusual small windows, like angled or arched frames?
Yes. We offer tailored solutions for unique shapes — including trapezoid, triangle, and skylight windows. Our design team can recommend the best shade type and mounting style for your specific setup.
Do motorized small shades need frequent charging?
In most cases, you’ll only need to charge your shades every 4–6 months, depending on usage. If you choose the solar panel, it will automatically recharge your shades when exposed to sufficient sunlight. For hardwired motors (DC, AC, or PoE), they provide a stable and continuous power supply.
