Adding Custom Blinds to Chapel Hill
When you want to create clean style while enjoying flexible light control in your home, choosing horizontal blinds is a great way to go. While horizontal blinds are some of the most thought of window coverings, there is no need to worry about standing out with Hunter Douglas window blinds. There are surprising ways you can make your custom blinds stand out, especially when you choose custom blinds from Hunter Douglas. Here’s how to make the most out of custom blinds in each room.
Best Custom BedroomBlinds
Most people think of adding soft window treatments, like shades or drapes, when they style their bedroom windows. And while these are great choices for bedrooms, you can also enjoy a calming and relaxing bedroom when you choose blinds as well.
Bring beautiful and warm tones into your bedroom when you choose Parkland® Wood Blinds from Hunter Douglas. Crafted with care using high-quality basswood and Abachi, these custom wood blinds will create a cozy vibe that will be perfect for relaxing in each evening. Choose just the right tone for your room with your selection of stain colors or choose the perfect paint option for your taste. But beyond the cozy feel of these premium blinds, you can also choose the available De-Light™ feature. This clever system gets rid of cord holes in the slats, which creates an even sleeker and less cluttered look while improving room-darkening and privacy.
Best Custom Living RoomBlinds
Custom wood blinds also make an excellent choice when you need to find good living room window treatments. Parkland® Wood Blinds come in various slat sizes, you so you can choose the right dimensions to best match any size of window you have in your living room. The durable glaze applied to the slats will also help these custom wood blinds to last a long time even when exposed to UV rays, making them ideal for light control in your living room.
Best Custom KitchenBlinds
While your kitchen is also an important place in the home for light control and style, you should make sure the blinds you choose can handle plenty of heat and messes. The smooth surface texture of EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds is perfect for easy cleanups while also providing lots of light for your kitchen. The vinyl material used to make these custom faux wood blinds is also designed to withstand moisture and heat while still looking like new after years in your kitchen.
Best Custom BathroomBlinds
Bathrooms are another place in your home where you want to create a stylish environment but where durability is key. Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds are perfect bathroom blinds thanks to the durable metal material and selection of stylish textures and colors. By adding the De-Light™ system, you can enjoy better privacy and an even sleeker look as well.

We offer a convenient shop-at-home experience and serve Central North Carolina, including Raleigh-Durham, Chapel Hill, Apex, and the surrounding area.
