The secret to a home’s interior design starts where it’s least expected: the windows. More than mere accents, windows offer a glimpse into the heart of the home, and when dressed with custom coverings, bring cohesion, depth, and artistry to every room. For homeowners seeking elegant, tailored solutions, Skyline Window Coverings delivers window treatment design with personalized style and elegant sophistication.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Chrissy and Jason Roellchen, Skyline Window Coverings began as a passion project launched right from their Chicago apartment. “It started small, but with dedication and a focus on providing exceptional service, the business quickly grew,” Chrissy explains. “Within a few years, we transitioned to an office space and focused solely on shop-at-home appointments, and after five years of serving clients, we opened our very first showroom.”
Today, the brand has grown to seven locations nationwide, including New York, Los Angeles, and Portland, Oregon, while Winnetka remains foundational with additional locations in Chicago and Naperville.
Behind the curtains, Skyline embraces a simple yet powerful design philosophy: window coverings should elevate a space, not just serve as a function. Their aesthetic blends classic modern luxury with utility.
The process is just as refined as the results. Every project begins with a complimentary in-home consultation, where expert design consultants assess lighting, layout, and lifestyle needs. “This is where we add real value,” says Chrissy. “We help clients avoid the guesswork, guiding them toward thoughtful choices that bring their vision to life.”
But beyond the style, Skyline steps in to lead the charge in smart home integration. Their motorized shades and automated systems allow homeowners to control natural light with a simple app or voice command.
“Over the years, we’ve seen a shift from purely manual operation to advanced motorization, app control, voice integration, and automated schedules that adapt to your lifestyle,” says Chrissy. Whether it’s protecting art and furnishings from UV rays, creating blackout conditions for a restful sleep, or automating shades to move with the sun, their solutions blend technology with design seamlessly. “Today’s homeowners want more than beauty. They want performance,” Chrissy explains. “That’s why we prioritize high-performance materials that deliver insulation, acoustic benefits, and energy efficiency, without compromising on elegance.”
One recent project highlighted just how transformative the right window treatment can be. By incorporating Pirouette shades, the Skyline team created a space that shifted effortlessly from softly lit and airy during the day to dark, quiet, and restful at night. The sculpted vanes of the shade became an unexpected design focal point. Proof that functionality can also be a showpiece.
For smart home integration and window treatments, Skyline Window Coverings helps clients create spaces that feel intentional, livable, and entirely their own. From consultation to final installation, their approach is personal, precise, and refreshingly simple. “Balancing elegance with performance is at the heart of what we do. Our clients expect window treatments that not only look beautiful but also function flawlessly—and we believe you shouldn’t have to choose one over the other,” says Chrissy.
