How to Choose the Perfect Window Shades for Every Room in Your Home
Every room in your home deserves window treatments that make it feel right.
Morning light in the kitchen.
Soft glow in the living room.
Peaceful darkness in the bedroom.
Window shades aren’t just about blocking light. They shape how your home looks, feels, and functions every day.
At Bindi and Bird, we help homeowners across Bellingham and Whatcom County choose shades that fit — not just in size, but in lifestyle.

Automation takes it one step further.
