Beautiful Styles for Every Home: Custom Blinds in Lynden, WA

We spend a lot of time in Lynden homes, and we love the variety. One week it’s a farmhouse that’s been in the family for generations, the next it’s a brand new build off the Guide Meridian with big windows and an open great room. Blinds work beautifully in both. They’re simple, practical and easy to live with. You can tilt the slats to soften the light, close them for privacy or pull them all the way up when you want to see the fields and Mount Baker. Here’s how we help Lynden homeowners choose.

Types of Blinds

Wood Blinds. If your home has wood floors, original trim or a farmhouse feel, wood blinds are usually where we start. They add warmth right away, and they look especially nice in living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms. White and soft off-white are classic choices for a farmhouse look. Natural stains are lovely too, especially in homes with a lot of wood already in the space.

Faux Wood Blinds. For kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms and laundry rooms, we usually recommend faux wood. It has the same look as a painted wood blind and holds up well to moisture and busy family life. Metal Blinds. Aluminum blinds have thin slats that stack neatly at the top of the window. They’re a nice fit for smaller windows, modern spaces and anywhere you want a crisp, simple look.

Choosing a Slat Size

This is one of the first things we talk through with homeowners, because it changes the whole look of the window. Two inch slats are the classic choice and suit most rooms. Wider 2½ inch slats feel more open and let you see more of the view when they’re tilted. Smaller 1 inch slats give a more tailored look. We’ll bring samples so you can see them on your own windows before you decide.

Choosing the Right Style

Sliding Doors. If your home has a slider out to the back patio, panel-track blinds are a great option. They glide side to side and make it easy to come and go. A Few Finishing Touches. Cordless lift systems keep things tidy, which families with kids and pets always appreciate. Decorative tapes and matching valances are easy ways to give your blinds a more custom, finished look.

What We Carry

For blinds, we work with Hunter Douglas, including their Parkland® wood, EverWood® faux wood and Modern Precious Metals® aluminum blinds, along with Norman, Graber and Lafayette. Having several brands lets us find the right look and the right price point for each home. Your consultation starts at home. We’ll look at your windows, talk about how you use each room and bring samples so you can see colors and materials in your own light. From there, we handle the measuring, ordering and professional installation.
