Old Northeast · Snell Isle · Downtown · Tierra Verde · St. Pete Beach
Your home is the most visible expression of everything you have built. After 35 years of custom installations across St. Petersburg's most distinctive homes — from Historic Old Northeast to Snell Isle to downtown high-rises — we know exactly how to make it look like you.
We Understand What This Is Really About
The homeowners we serve are not shopping for blinds. They are completing a vision. They have invested significantly in their home — in its architecture, its finishes, its furnishings — and they need every element to reflect that standard. Window treatments are often the last detail addressed. Which means for a surprising number of beautiful St. Petersburg homes, the windows are quietly telling the wrong story.
Generic treatments from a franchise. Off-the-shelf solutions that look like everyone else's home. Choices made quickly that never quite felt right. In a home that has been cared for at every other level, this gap is noticeable — to you, and to every guest who walks through your door.
The real villain is not the sun. It is settling for anything less than custom — anything that does not reflect your precise taste, your specific architecture, and the standard that the rest of your home already communicates. That is what we resolve. Completely, and permanently.

We understand how overwhelming it feels to choose window treatments for a home you love this much — especially when that home has character and history that most companies simply do not understand. We built our business around making sure you never have to worry about getting it wrong.
Accolade Interiors has served the St. Petersburg community for 35 years. We have installed in Old Northeast craftsman homes, Snell Isle waterfront estates, downtown high-rise condos, Tierra Verde waterfront properties, and St. Pete Beach Gulf-view residences. Every consultation, measurement, and installation is performed by our own team — not subcontractors.

What Our Clients Say
We spent two years with the original windows in our Old Northeast home looking bare because we were afraid of making the wrong choice. Accolade came in, understood the architecture immediately, and the roman shades they installed look like they have always been there. We wish we had called sooner.
Living on the 32nd floor at ONE St. Pete, I was not sure anyone could handle the installation properly. Accolade was completely professional — the motorized Hunter Douglas shades are flawless, the Tampa Bay view is preserved, and the glare that used to make my living room unusable is completely gone.
Our Tierra Verde waterfront home needed treatments that could handle Florida's salt air and humidity. Accolade recommended the poly plantation shutters and they are perfect — beautiful, completely maintenance-free, and they look incredible against the water view. Best home investment we have made.
Our Coverage
We provide free in-home consultations and professional installation throughout St. Petersburg and its most distinctive neighborhoods and surrounding communities.

Common Questions
What window treatments work best in St. Petersburg historic homes?
For Historic Old Northeast craftsman and Colonial Revival homes, custom roman shades and plantation shutters complement the period architecture beautifully. We work with the original window proportions and trim details to select treatments that honor the home's character while adding modern light control.
Can you install window treatments in a downtown St. Pete high-rise condo?
Absolutely. We specialize in high-rise installations throughout downtown St. Petersburg. Battery-powered motorized shades require no hardwiring and are ideal for condos at ONE St. Petersburg, 400 Central, and other luxury towers. We handle all measurements, ordering, and installation.
What is the difference between roller shades and solar shades?
Roller shades come in a range of opacities from sheer to blackout and are ideal for light control and privacy. Solar shades are specifically engineered to block UV rays and reduce glare while preserving your view — perfect for St. Petersburg waterfront homes and high-rise condos with Tampa Bay views.
Do you offer motorized shades for St. Pete condos?
Yes. We install Hunter Douglas PowerView and Lutron Serena motorized systems throughout St. Petersburg. Battery-powered options require no hardwiring and integrate with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa — ideal for condos and retrofit installations.
Do you serve Tierra Verde and St. Pete Beach?
Yes — we provide free in-home consultations and professional installation throughout Tierra Verde, St. Pete Beach, Gulfport, South Pasadena, and all surrounding St. Petersburg communities.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in a single day. After your free consultation, custom orders typically take two to four weeks to fabricate. Our team then installs everything in one visit — whether it is a single room or an entire home.
The homeowners who regret their window treatments all say the same thing — they chose quickly, they chose from a catalog, and they chose without expert guidance. The result is treatments that look like they came from everywhere and belong nowhere. In a home that reflects your taste at every other level, that gap is felt every single day.
That is the cost of settling. We have spent 35 years making sure St. Petersburg homeowners never have to live with it.
Right now you may be walking past windows that quietly remind you something is unfinished. That ends with one conversation.
Imagine waking up to a room where every detail is finally intentional. Where the light is perfect, the privacy is effortless, and the space finally reflects the life you have built here. That transformation — from almost right to completely right — starts with your free In-Home Design Experience.
Includes your Custom Light Analysis, Personal Design Prescription, Investment Range Preview, and the full weight of 35 years of St. Petersburg expertise — at no charge, no obligation, no pressure.
