EnglishWhat Are the Three Ways to Shop for Window Treatments on Blinds.com?
Updated
Blinds.com offers three ways to buy custom window treatments: DIY, full-service professional help, and a hybrid option that pairs your own measurements and installation with free expert design guidance. All three paths are covered by the company's SureFit™ Guarantee, which states that if you measure wrong, Blinds.com will remake the product rather than requiring a return. The right choice depends on how much of the measuring, ordering, and installation work you want to handle yourself.
The Three Shopping Paths at a Glance
| Shopping path | Who does the measuring | Who installs | Design help | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DIY ("I've Got This") | You | You | Free virtual design help available | Confident DIYers who want to control cost and timing |
| Full service ("Handle It All For Me") | Professional | Professional | Included | People who want a hands-off project |
| Hybrid ("Let's Do It Together") | You, with guidance | You | Free virtual design help from experts | DIYers who want reassurance on style and fit |
The site describes the choice as "whether you want to DIY, have it all done for you, or you're somewhere in between," with the fit guaranteed regardless of path.
DIY: Measure, Order, and Install Yourself
This is the path for people comfortable with a tape measure and a drill. Blinds.com supports it with:
- Free sample delivery — up to 10 free samples shipped fast and free, so you can check color and material against your room before ordering.
- Step-by-step guides — the site advertises "DIY like a pro" instructions for measuring and installation.
- Free virtual design help — expert consultants are available remotely if you get stuck on style or sizing questions.
- The SureFit™ Guarantee — if you measure incorrectly, Blinds.com remakes the order.
How to proceed: order samples first, measure each window following the guides, place the order, then install using the provided instructions. The main risk is measurement error, which the SureFit guarantee is designed to absorb.
Full Service: Have the Project Handled for You
The "Handle It All For Me" option is for customers who would rather not measure or install. Professional service is available through Blinds.com, and the site's design consultants support the project from selection through completion. This path suits larger projects, hard-to-reach windows, or anyone who simply prefers not to do the physical work.
Hybrid: DIY With Expert Backup
The middle path, "Let's Do It Together," keeps you in charge of measuring and installation while giving you access to free virtual design consultations. It is a reasonable fit if you can handle the physical steps but want a second opinion on product choice, color, or how to measure an unusual window.
What You Can Buy Regardless of Path
All three paths draw from the same catalog, which includes:
- Blinds: faux wood, mini blinds, vertical blinds
- Shades: cellular, roller, woven wood, Roman, solar, outdoor, zebra
- Other: interior shutters, curtains and drapes
The site also highlights motorized, eco, blackout, quick-ship, and cordless features, and lists sale pricing on several Bali products, such as cellular shades starting at $63.57 (marked down 50%) and 2-inch premium faux wood blinds starting at $64.56 (marked down 55%), with free shipping noted on those items. Financing options are advertised as low as 0% APR, subject to qualification.
How to Choose
- Choose DIY if you are comfortable measuring and installing and want the most control over the project.
- Choose full service if you want the measuring and installation handled and prefer minimal involvement.
- Choose the hybrid if you will do the physical work but want free expert input on design and fit.
In every case, order free samples before committing to a material and color, and confirm your window measurements against the site's guides—the SureFit™ Guarantee covers remakes for measurement mistakes, but getting it right the first time saves the wait.
