From the tree-lined streets of Lake Oswego to the quiet neighborhoods of West Linn, Tigard, and Beaverton, Tudor-style homes remain a sought-after architectural gem in the Portland metro area. Tudor-style homes stand as enduring icons of craftsmanship and architectural charm. Their steep-pitched roofs, leaded glass windows, ornate brickwork, and half-timbered detailing continue to capture the hearts of homeowners throughout the Portland metro area.

But as beautiful as these homes are, their tall, narrow, and often arched windows require thoughtful window treatments—solutions that enhance the home's historic integrity while offering privacy, light control, and energy efficiency.

At Budget Blinds of Beaverton and Lake Oswego, we specialize in helping homeowners across the westside suburbs preserve the character of their Tudor-style homes with expertly tailored window coverings.

🏡 Where Can You Find Tudor-Style Homes Around Portland?

Tudor architecture was most popular from the 1920s through the 1940s, and many of these homes still stand—restored, updated, and loved—across the Portland suburbs.

You’ll find notable Tudor homes in:

Lake Oswego – Especially in First Addition, Evergreen, and Blue Heron
West Linn – In neighborhoods like Hidden Springs, Sunset, and Bolton
Beaverton – Near Raleigh Hills, Highland, and historic pockets along SW Allen Blvd
Tigard – With custom Tudors scattered through Walnut Grove and Tigard Triangle
Milwaukie – Particularly near Ardenwald and the historic downtown area
Oak Grove – In quiet, wooded streets and river-adjacent properties with vintage charm

Each area showcases a mix of home styles, but Tudors stand out with their dramatic window lines and historic detailing—making custom-fit window coverings essential for both aesthetics and function.

🪟 What Window Coverings Work Best for Tudor-Style Homes?

1. Interior Shutters: Classic and Architectural

Shutters work beautifully in Tudor homes. Their clean lines and solid construction echo the woodwork and paneling commonly found in these interiors.

Custom shutters for arched or tall windows
Available in painted or stained finishes to match existing trim
Add insulation and durability to older window frames

2. Roman Shades: Soft, Elegant Functionality

Roman shades offer fabric softness without overwhelming the window. Choose styles that fold neatly and have soft curves at the bottom to complement the Tudor design.

Ideal for bedrooms, studies, and dining rooms
Available in cordless or motorized versions for added convenience

3. Custom Drapery: Elevate the Old-World Look

Drapery brings warmth and sophistication to any Tudor interior. Layered over shutters or shades, it adds richness while softening wood and stone elements.

Consider velvet, linen, or embroidered fabrics
Use wrought-iron or vintage-inspired hardware for an authentic finish

4. Modern Motorization: Smart Home Upgrades with Classic Style

Want comfort and convenience without disrupting the look of your home? You can motorize drapery, Roman shades, or even the tilt on shutters for hard-to-reach windows.

Integrates with smart home systems or remote control
Perfect for living rooms with vaulted ceilings or grouped windows
Keeps the visual focus on your home’s architecture—not cords or controls
