See which custom window blind is right for you
Window Blinds offer a range of benefits that enhance both the functionality and beauty of your living spaces. They provide UV protection by blocking harmful UV rays, helping to preserve your furniture and flooring from fading. These window treatments also control sunlight, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Additionally, they improve insulation, keeping your space comfortable in both hot and cold weather. With their functional design, blinds protect your privacy while adding style and elegance to your decor. Investing in blinds is a great way to upgrade your home and enhance your overall living experience.
We carry a wide variety of custom blind styles with the perfect blend of form and function:
Wood blinds match almost any decor. Blindster uses kiln-dried basswood for lightweight, durable wood blinds.
Faux wood blinds have the look of natural wood while resisting warping and discoloration. Faux wood window coverings work very well in high humidity environments, such as bathrooms, that would damage real wood.
Aluminum mini-blinds are simple, durable, and classic, with a baked enamel finish that resists chipping and fading and offer privacy.
Vertical blinds are a popular choice for large windows, including sliding glass doors and French windows. Vertical blinds can rotate in place or open fully to provide an unobstructed view.
Fabric blinds provide a soft, versatile style that adds a cozy feel to any room.
Vinyl blinds are budget-friendly and moisture-resistant, making them easy to clean and maintain.

Technically speaking, window blinds use a hard material in a series of horizontal or vertical slats which tilt open and closed to increase or decrease how much natural light enters the room. Closing blind slats improves your privacy.
Window shades are typically made from fabric or other foldable material and are raised and lowered for light and privacy, have no slats, and are solid window coverings usually made from fabric.
Colloquially speaking, the terms blinds and shades are often considered interchangeable. Just let us know what style of window treatments you’re looking for and we’ll know what you mean!
The best interior blinds for your windows depend on your reasons for installing them, so there are a few things to consider:
- Wood blinds have an elegant and traditional look, providing excellent light control, while faux wood blinds are better suited for bathrooms and are more budget friendly
- Vertical blinds are a much better choice for larger windows and sliding glass doors since they operate easily and quickly allow access through the door
- Aluminum blinds can provide a splash of color and are easy to maintain
Ultimately, it’s up to you! The perfect window blinds are the ones that best complement your decor and personal taste. If you have questions or need help deciding, talk to our team of experts!
Since blinds are typically made of durable materials, these window treatments are easy to clean with a quick wipe down or dusting.
Don’t use cleaners on wood blinds that could affect the real wood finish
For areas prone to more mess (like the window above the kitchen sink or the sliding door where the dogs go in and out), try faux wood, aluminum, and PVC vertical blinds for the most durability and the easiest blinds to clean.
The best material for window blinds depends on your personal preference. If you’re looking for eye-catching traditional blinds, natural wood is an excellent choice. If you want the most durable types of window treatments, opt for aluminum or faux wood blinds. If you’re looking for fabric window coverings, check out our collection of window shades for more natural light filtering options.
When measuring windows for custom window treatments, use a metal tape measure and follow these steps:
- Inside Mount: Measure the width and height inside the window frame at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the narrowest width and the longest height.
- Outside Mount: Measure the width and height of the area you want your custom blinds to cover, adding extra width for better coverage.
Yes, many blinds are made to be safe for kids and pets. Choosing cordless blinds helps protect children and pets by eliminating the risk of strangulation from a cord. If using blinds with cords, secure them with cleats or tension devices to keep them safely out of reach.
