Coastal Interior Designer
In Florida, window treatments need to do much more than simply look beautiful. Intense sunshine, heat, glare and the desire for privacy all influence the right solution for your home. Suzanne Christie creates custom window treatments that combine style and performance, helping homeowners throughout Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and the surrounding Tampa Bay area enjoy comfortable, beautifully finished interiors. From elegant drapery and tailored Roman shades to solar shades, woven woods and motorized solutions, every treatment is selected specifically for your windows, your décor and the way you live.
Custom draperies bring softness, elegance, and personality to any room while framing your windows beautifully. Designed to complement your furnishings and architecture, they provide privacy, light control, and insulation while adding texture, color, and style. Suzanne will help you select luxurious fabrics, trims, and hardware to create draperies that are uniquely tailored to your home.

A custom cornice board or top treatment adds architectural interest and a polished finishing touch to your windows. Whether upholstered in a statement fabric or designed to quietly coordinate with the rest of the room, these treatments can conceal hardware while adding color, pattern and structure. They are particularly effective when layered with drapery, shades or blinds for a completely custom look.
Today’s custom blinds offer far more than practical light control. Available in wood, faux wood, aluminum, and other premium materials, they combine clean lines with exceptional durability and ease of operation. Suzanne will help you choose blinds that complement your décor while providing privacy, energy efficiency, and everyday functionality for every room in your home.
Sheer shades offer a beautiful way to soften Florida’s abundant natural light without completely obscuring the view. Combining sheer fabric with adjustable vanes, they allow you to control light and privacy throughout the day while maintaining an airy, elegant appearance. Their clean profile works particularly well in contemporary Tampa Bay homes where maximizing natural light is an important part of the design.
Roman shades combine the softness of fabric with the practicality of a shade, making them a versatile choice for almost any interior. Fabrics can be selected to introduce pattern, texture or a subtle neutral layer, while different styles allow the finished treatment to feel tailored, relaxed or sophisticated. They can be used alone or layered with custom drapery for additional depth and impact.
Florida sunshine is wonderful—until heat and glare begin affecting the comfort of your home. Solar shades help filter intense sunlight, reduce glare and protect furnishings, flooring and artwork from damaging UV exposure while allowing you to retain your connection to the outdoors. Available in different levels of openness, they are an attractive, streamlined solution for Tampa Bay’s bright climate.
Bring the beauty of nature indoors with custom woven wood shades. Crafted from bamboo, grasses, reeds, and other natural fibers, they introduce warmth, texture, and relaxed sophistication to your interiors. Ideal for Florida homes, woven woods gently filter natural light while creating an inviting atmosphere that pairs beautifully with decorative drapery panels for a layered designer look.
Custom plantation shutters are a timeless investment that enhances both the beauty and value of your home. Their clean lines and classic styling complement traditional and contemporary interiors alike while providing exceptional light control, privacy, and energy efficiency. Built to last, shutters are especially well suited to Florida’s climate and are as practical as they are elegant.
Sliding glass doors and expansive windows are an integral part of many Florida homes, making vertical window treatments an important consideration. Today’s options extend far beyond traditional vertical blinds, with sophisticated treatments that traverse smoothly and provide excellent control over sunlight and privacy. They are particularly well suited to large openings leading to patios, lanais and pool areas… and the beach!
Patios, lanais and other outdoor living spaces are an important extension of the Florida home. Suzanne can incorporate window treatment solutions designed specifically for these areas, helping provide relief from strong sunlight and creating greater comfort and privacy outdoors. The right treatments can make these spaces feel more inviting and usable while creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior of your home.
Experience the convenience of controlling your window treatments with the touch of a button, a remote, or even your smartphone. Motorized shades, blinds, and draperies offer effortless operation, improved child safety, and seamless integration with many smart home systems. Suzanne can recommend the ideal motorization solution to make your home more comfortable, efficient, and luxurious.
Arched windows, oversized glass walls, angled openings, and other uniquely shaped windows require thoughtful design solutions. Suzanne specializes in creating custom window treatments that preserve architectural beauty while delivering privacy, light control, and functionality. With access to innovative products designed for even the most challenging spaces, she can help you achieve a beautiful result without compromise.
