“I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Blinds By Design. Sarah, Sam and Nancy went the extra mile and made sure every step of the process was smooth and professional. Not only were they one of the more affordable options (having priced out MANY), but the blinds themselves are GORGEOUS. Sam installed them perfectly (even in a tricky, tight bay window area), and took the extra time to explain the remote automatic mechanisms/charging/etc., and made sure I understood everything completely. Upon finishing the job, everyone repeatedly reassured me that I ever have any questions or concerns, that they are ready to help and just a phone call away. Thanks Blinds By Design!”
“We had blinds installed in several of our windows in our new home. We were very happy with the professionalism, knowledge, and service of the entire team – everyone we worked with was friendly and helpful, and we are very happy with the final product.”
“Super happy with the blinds we got from BBD! I wanted a smart blind that did the basics and the blinds Sarah recommended ticked all the boxes. Sam did great with the installation and knowledge sharing! I will recommend them to friends and family.”
“Recently I enlisted the considerable expertise of Blinds ByDesign to offer advice and recommendations for an upgrade I was making to our sunroom. Once again they delighted me with product and service that met and exceeded my expectations. And when I say “service”, I include the administrative support that is so often overlooked. Their front office support is on par with the back office and, together, created a synergistic result which was on time and on budget. I never hesitate to recommend Blinds ByDesign to friends and family.”
“A new clutch was required for one of my blinds, the style had been discontinued and parts were no longer available at the store. The secretary at the North Location contacted the manufacturer, send pictures, of the details and serial numbers of the piece. They were able to locate one for me, not only was no charge for it but the installation was free of charge as well. Great Service and Excellent Products!”
“We recently had some shutters installed by Blinds by Design and we couldn’t be happier with them! The entire process from consultation to installation was a breeze. Everyone on the team that I had the pleasure of working with or speaking to (Vanessa, Nancy, Sarah, and Sam) were all incredibly friendly and helpful. And of course, the shutters themselves are excellent! I’d recommend these folks to anyone looking for window treatments.”

A FEW OF THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(This section is temporary and we will use a dropdown FAQ like the custom roller blinds page. Please use the Google doc that was sent by email to edit and update this section before publishing.)
Can I install the shutters myself?
Yes, of course. However, we highly recommend utilizing our experienced installation team for the best results when installing custom shutters.
Can shutters be installed on any window?
Our shutters are designed to be installed on a wide range of windows, including French doors, sliding patio doors, and even as room dividers with tracks. If your window or door opens inward, the shutters can be mounted outside of the reveal. For situations where there are overhangs preventing the panels from swinging out, we offer bi-pass tracking, allowing the shutters to slide past each other.
How do I measure my windows and doors?
Simple measure the width and height of the opening and contact us via phone or email with these measurements or fill out the form above.
How many shutter panels do I need in my window opening?
The number of panels needed for your window opening depends on various factors. Generally, a window looks best with four panels, two of which open as pairs in either direction. For a three-window bay, two panels are typically used on the smaller side windows, and four panels in the center. However, each window is unique, and our team can provide personalized advice on what configuration will work best for your specific situation.
What louvre size should I choose?
When selecting the louvre size for your shutters, consider the size of your window and the desired effect. Larger windows typically work well with larger louvre sizes.
How long does it take to receive my shutters after ordering?
Our shutters are custom manufactured to fit your specific openings. Typically, they are ready for installation approximately 10-12 weeks from the date of the order and receipt of the deposit.
Does wood warp, shrink, change color, or age in any way?
Wood is a natural material and, as such, it can warp, shrink, change color, and age over time. However, our shutters are designed to minimize these effects. They feature reinforced, engineered stiles with multiple layers of wood bonded together to ensure maximum stability and durability.
What colors and stains are available?
We offer a wide range of painted finishes and stains for our shutters. Please refer to the colors section of our website for a full list of available options for each shutter range.
How can I maintain my shutters?
Maintaining shutters is relatively easy. You can clean them using a feather duster, a damp sponge or soft cloth, or by running a vacuum cleaner over them. Our shutters are designed to be low maintenance, and the finishes should not need repainting for many years. Our Seattle MDF shutters, in particular, are totally maintenance-free and cannot be repainted.
What are the benefits of shutters?
Shutters have long been a popular choice for window treatments due to their functionality and visual appeal. They offer advantages such as privacy control, insulation, ventilation, and superior light control compared to other solutions. Shutters are also low maintenance and do not trap dust, making them a great option for allergy sufferers.
