What Are Window Blinds?
Blinds are hard window treatments made up of horizontal or vertical slats that can be tilted open or closed to adjust light and privacy. They’re ideal for homeowners who want precise control over sunlight while maintaining a clean, tailored appearance. Unlike shades (which raise and lower in soft panels), blinds provide the unique ability to adjust light without fully lifting the treatment. Available in a wide range of materials—including real wood, faux wood, composite, and metal—blinds are one of the most versatile and durable window treatment solutions available.
Types of Blinds We Offer
At Local Shades and Blinds, we offer a curated selection of five core custom blind types, each designed to meet different needs and styles. Wood blinds provide a classic, warm, and elegant look that works beautifully in both traditional and transitional interiors. For a more budget-friendly and moisture-resistant option, faux wood blinds deliver the same aesthetic with added durability—ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry areas.
Aluminum blinds offer a sleek, modern profile and are great for contemporary spaces, while composite blinds are engineered to perform in high-humidity environments, blending function with visual appeal. And for sliding glass doors or wide window spans, vertical blinds offer smooth operation and versatile light control.
Each blind is fully customizable to fit your exact window dimensions, with a wide range of materials, finishes, and slat sizes to match your home’s design and your personal preferences.
Why Choose Blinds?
Blinds offer the perfect balance of function, style, and affordability, making them a go-to solution for nearly any room in the home. With adjustable slats, you get precise light control, allowing you to direct sunlight exactly where you want it—or block it out entirely for added privacy. Whether you want to maintain a view or completely obscure sightlines, blinds offer flexible privacy on your terms.
Built from durable materials, blinds are made to withstand daily use and require minimal upkeep—just a quick wipe keeps them looking fresh. Their clean lines and wide range of finishes make them a versatile option that complements both classic and modern interiors. And with their cost-effective pricing, you won’t have to sacrifice design to stay on budget.
During your free in-home consultation, we’ll help you choose the ideal blind style, material, and finish—bringing samples and expert advice directly to you.
Smart & Cordless Options
Today’s blinds go far beyond the basics—they’re sleek, safe, and smart. We offer a variety of cordless blind options that provide a clean, streamlined look while eliminating dangling cords for improved child and pet safety. For added convenience, motorized tilt systems let you adjust slats effortlessly using a remote or smartphone app.
Looking to integrate your blinds into a smart home setup? We work with top automation brands like Lutron, offering voice control, scheduling, and full-home integration. For larger windows or ADA-compliant needs, we also offer wand controls and continuous loop systems that are easy to operate and built to last.
Whether you’re automating a living room, upgrading a home office, or designing for accessibility, we’ll help you find the best modern blind systems to match your space and lifestyle.c
Customization Options
Every blind from Local Shades and Blinds is fully customizable to suit your home’s style, layout, and functional needs. You’ll be able to choose your slat width—typically 1″, 2″, or 2.5″—based on your window size and design preference. Select from a variety of materials, including wood, faux wood, composite, and aluminum, then personalize the look with your choice of color and finish—from rich natural stains to bold black or crisp white.
You can also pick the tilt mechanism that works best for your space, whether that’s cordless, motorized, or operated with a wand. Decide on your preferred mount type—inside the frame for a clean, built-in look or outside to visually expand smaller windows. For a polished result, we offer decorative valances and side returns that hide hardware and elevate the overall finish.
And best of all? We handle all the details, from measurements to installation—so you don’t have to.
