Blinds

Blinds are chosen for a more traditional look paired with a simple transition from sunshine and light to complete privacy and room darkening. One of the key advantages is that they block UV light to keep things cool and protect your furniture from the sun. They also offer additional insulation. Our designers can connect with you in a virtual design consultation complete with samples of color choices so that together, you can customize your design.

Solar shades are sleek, modern, and stunning in homes and offices alike. They offer a sheer look that reduces glare and keeps UV light and heat at bay while preserving beautiful views.

Cellular Shades - Karamja Sandbar - 3/4" Cell - Bedroom

Vertical cellular shades are primarily used to continue a rooms cellular shade theme across a sliding door. They have all the same features of standard cellular shades, but they are oriented vertically so they can be opened left to right instead of up and down, which works great with a sliding door. Your Stoneside designer can help you coordinate the look.

Zebra shades (also called transitional shades) come in gorgeous materials that create a modern look and give you the best of both worlds between roller and solar shades. Their sheer fabric lets light in and lets you see out, while the solid panels add more privacy, even when they are open. You can position them to maximize view or privacy while keeping their beautiful look consistent.

The warmth and timeless beauty of natural wood is a wonderful design element. Our wood blinds come in a selection of stains and in a variety of popular Benjamin Moore colors, making them an easy addition to any design scheme. These blinds are the lightest in our collection, and are the best choice if you plan to raise and lower your blinds often.

View Wood Blinds

For those who want the warm look of wood at a more affordable price, faux wood blinds are a convincing choice to create classic style. They are also good for use in areas with more moisture, such as a bathroom or basement. They are bit heavier, so are not as ideal if you plan to raise or lower them regularly.

View Faux Wood Blinds

Composite wood blinds feature the look of natural wood, but they are easier to clean and the most durable. Covered by a lifetime warranty, they are designed to take a lot of wear and tear, including moisture and being in direct sunlight daily. These are also heavier blinds, so they work best when left in one position with the slats being the primary mode of operation.

Vertical blinds create a modern look and are great for sliding doors and large window banks. They are also a popular choice for commercial spaces.
