Spotlight Blinds and Stylish Homes

Spotlight blinds will add a touch of luxury, practicality, or warmth to any home or office. Choose the best blind for each application: French doors, accent windows at front doors, archway windows, as bathroom window treatments, office windows, and more. Select blinds for your budget, color scheme, and for a specific purpose.

What are Window Blinds for?

There are several reasons one might add blinds to a window. Blocking light at the brightest time of day is one. Shutting out nosy neighbors is another. Cutting down on noise and drafts are two more. Reducing glare and UV exposure further justify the addition of window treatments. Finally, window blinds such as ready made Roman blinds, cellular blinds or honeycomb blinds, and Venetian blinds are aesthetically pleasing when well chosen to complement other accents in a room.

Types of Blinds

Spotlight blinds include panels which can be stacked one on top of the other or slid from side to side (very useful with big picture windows or in patio doors). Venetian blinds operate as slats allowing light in through narrow or wide openings or they can be shut completely. With hold-down clips these will sit close to the window, holding out any glare.

Blackout blinds maintain darkness even at noon so that toddlers can rest or movie-goers can watch a screen without experiencing glare. Spotlight blinds include ready made Roman blinds which stack from the bottom and cellular items which open from the top, the bottom, or both ways. Cellular blinds, also known as honeycomb blinds, are particularly good for insulation or keeping sunny exposure from overheating a room.

Blind Shapes and Sizes

Ready made options come in numerous sizes for standard windows, doors, and ornamental windows which do not open. They even include arch windows above doors and skylights. If a size or shape is not available, custom designs can be arranged.

Materials and Motion

Modern blinds are made from materials such as linen, cotton, wool, aluminum, polystyrene, and wood. They can mimic luxurious materials using cheaper products and operate using a chain, cord, or a motor. Child safety is of primary importance: children die from strangulation by old-fashioned blind cords. Look for the safest designs if you have children, grandchildren, or run a daycare from your home.
