Cordless Blinds

Cordless blinds are window treatments that do not have the traditional cords most people are accustomed to. There are no cables or rods falling from the top edge, and nothing can be pulled. Rather than running alongside the blinds, the strings are intertwined within the slats. Regardless of where you live or what room you're placing your cordless blinds in, there will be a style to suit your needs. Cordless blinds are safer for children and pets, so they are perfect for kids' bedrooms, playrooms, or other areas where they often play.

Vertical blinds are most often found in sunrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms with patios.

Motorized Blinds

Instead of using a standard pull cord or wand, motorized blinds are activated by a built-in motor.

This type of blind provides many styles to choose from, including horizontal sheers, drapery systems, and more, so it can accommodate varying interior designs. These are ideal for settings like master bedrooms and home theaters, where light-darkening convenience is a must-have.
