Where It Fits In Bloomington
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds for every era of Bloomington home
Bloomington has homes from the 1850s right up to houses built in the last ten years, and a blind can be matched to the woodwork in any of them.
- White PlaceThe homes in the White Place Historic District were built between 1895 and 1928 in Prairie School, Craftsman and Colonial Revival styles. Real wood blinds take a stain, so they can be matched to original stained woodwork where a house still has it.
- Kitchens, Baths And Laundry RoomsAny room with a sink or a shower gets faux wood from us, because it stands up to the moisture that real wood struggles with.
- Playrooms And Kids' RoomsWith a cordless lift and a wand tilt, there's nothing for small hands or pets to catch, which is why we recommend them for a playroom or nursery.
- Front Facing WindowsMatching blinds across the front windows give the house an even, finished look from the sidewalk.
Wood Or Faux Wood
Start with the room, then match the trim
A blind lets you decide where the light goes. Tilt the slats part way and you have privacy from outside while you still see out to the yard, or close them when you want a good amount of the light blocked. Raise the blind and the slats stack neatly at the top of the window.
In White Place and Bloomington's other older neighborhoods, stained woodwork is worth matching, and real wood can be stained until the blind looks built in. Against painted white trim, a painted faux wood looks the same from across the room and costs less, and anywhere with a sink or a shower, faux wood is our pick.
Slats come in 1 inch, 2 inch and 2 1/2 inch sizes, with 2 inch as the standard. We offer Cordless, Cordless Lift & Lock and Motorized operation, all child safe, plus a wand tilt. Your Design Specialist will bring both materials to your home, hold them up against your trim, measure every window, and leave you with an exact itemized quote.

Yes. Without route holes punched through the slats, less light slips through when the blind is tilted closed. Your Design Specialist can show you both side by side.
Yes. Our standard decorative valance is finished to match the slats, a modern valance gives a flat, clean line, and a wood cornice gives a built in look at the top of the window.
Yes. Motorized blinds run from a remote, the app on your phone or tablet, a wall switch or your voice, with schedules and scenes, and there's no cord at the window.
Yes. Every blind is covered by our Carefree Guarantee, including the Five Year Service Guarantee and the Lifetime Product Guarantee, and the coverage transfers to the next owner if you sell your home.
Not real wood. Steam, splashes and standing humidity are hard on real wood, and our faux wood is an engineered polymer that won't crack, chip or fade, so it's our pick for every bathroom, laundry room and window over a sink.
