What Is Blinds.com and What Can You Buy There?

Updated

Blinds.com is an online retailer of custom window coverings—blinds, shades, and shutters made to your window measurements. You can order and install them yourself (DIY), hand the whole project to the company, or split the work between you and a design consultant. The site says it has sold online for 30+ years and describes itself as the largest online retailer of custom window treatments.

What you can buy

The catalog is organized by product type, and the homepage highlights these categories:

Category What it is
Cellular Shades Honeycomb-style shades, including blackout options
Faux Wood Blinds Wood-look blinds, including a 2-inch "premium" version
Roller Shades Flat-panel shades that roll up
Woven Wood Natural-material woven shades
Mini Blinds Narrow-slat blinds (e.g., 1-inch cordless)
Roman Shades Fabric shades that fold up in pleats
Solar Shades Shades that filter light and glare
Outdoor Shades Shades for patios and exterior spaces
Vertical Blinds Slatted coverings for sliding doors and wide windows
Zebra Shades Alternating sheer and opaque bands
Interior Shutters Rigid panel shutters
Curtains & Drapes Fabric window treatments

The site also flags feature-based collections—Motorized, Eco, Blackout, Quick Ship, and Cordless—so you can shop by function rather than product type.

Three ways to buy

The homepage frames purchasing as three paths:

  • "I've Got This" — full DIY: you measure, order, and install, with step-by-step guides and free virtual design help available.
  • "Handle It All For Me" — professional service handles the project.
  • "Let's Do It Together" — a middle option where you work alongside a design consultant.

All three are backed by the company's SureFit™ Guarantee: if you measure wrong, they remake the product rather than requiring a return.

Free samples and design help

Before committing to a custom order, you can order up to 10 free samples shipped free to your door—useful for checking color and material against your room's light. Free virtual design consultations are also offered, which the site presents as award-winning help on your schedule.

What it costs

The site's deals section shows sale pricing with listed discounts and "starting at" prices, plus free shipping on the featured items. For example, at the time of the page content:

  • Bali Cellular Shades — 50% off, starting at $63.57 (from $127.13)
  • Bali 1 Inch Classics Cordless Blinds — 55% off, starting at $40.22 (from $89.38)
  • Bali 2 Inch Premium Faux Wood Blinds — 55% off, starting at $64.56 (from $143.46)

Financing is advertised as "as low as 0% APR" with an eligibility check. Treat these as promotional prices that change—check the current deal page before ordering, and confirm shipping and financing terms during checkout rather than assuming they apply to every product.

Is it a good fit for you?

Choose Blinds.com if you want custom-sized coverings without a showroom visit, are comfortable measuring (or want guided help), and value free samples before buying. If you'd rather not measure at all, the professional-service path exists for that. If you need a specific material or feature—motorization, blackout, quick shipping—start from those feature collections rather than browsing category by category.
