Blinds for Living Rooms: Comfort Meets Style
The living room is often the largest and most used space in the home. It’s where light control, comfort, and visual appeal all come into play.
Sheer shades and dual shades are excellent for living areas because they allow you to enjoy natural light while reducing glare on screens and protecting furniture from UV damage. Their modern textures and fabric layers add softness and elegance without overwhelming the room.
For homeowners who want a more traditional yet functional approach, custom wood blinds deliver warmth and timeless beauty. Motorized options let you adjust lighting and privacy with ease, especially in homes with large or hard-to-reach windows.
Bedroom Blinds: Create a Relaxing Retreat
Sleep quality depends on light control and privacy. That’s why blackout roller shades and insulating cellular shades are top choices for bedrooms.
Blackout roller shades block morning sun and streetlights, creating a calm, restful space. Cellular shades add an extra layer of insulation, ideal for maintaining a comfortable sleeping temperature in South Baldwin’s changing seasons.
Cordless and motorized options make it easy to open or close your shades with the push of a button—or a voice command. This is especially helpful for nurseries, primary suites, and homes with smart technology.
Dining Room Blinds: Add Sophistication
In dining areas, design and ambiance matter. Custom woven wood shades bring warmth and texture through organic materials like bamboo and grasses. They filter light beautifully and complement a wide range of dining room décor styles.
If you prefer something more polished, wood blinds or faux wood options deliver a refined look while being easy to clean. You can also layer treatments with soft fabric top treatments for a high-end feel.

Kitchen Blinds: Durable, Bright, and Easy to Clean
Kitchens are exposed to humidity, grease, and frequent use. The best custom window treatments for this space are easy to maintain and resist moisture.
Faux wood blinds offer the look of real wood but are resistant to warping—perfect for kitchen windows above the sink or stove. Their durability and low maintenance make them a customer favorite.
For modern kitchens, consider solar shades. They minimize glare while letting in light, and their sleek profiles fit well in contemporary kitchens. Plus, they’re easy to wipe down and available in a variety of colors.
Bathroom Blinds: Water-Resistant and Stylish
Like kitchens, bathrooms require window treatments that can handle moisture while preserving privacy.
Zebra shades offer flexible privacy with their dual-layer design, letting you shift between sheer and solid fabrics. They’re ideal for bathrooms with larger or frosted windows.
For compact bathroom windows, faux wood blinds are again a top pick thanks to their resistance to mold and warping.
Kids’ Rooms: Safety First
Safety and function are the top priorities in children’s bedrooms and playrooms. We always recommend cordless lift and motorized options to eliminate cords and ensure peace of mind.
Custom fabric roman shades are a cozy and stylish option that can add personality to a child’s room. Or, go with fun, colorful cellular shades that help with temperature control and light filtering.
Outdoor Spaces: Shade Your Patio in Style
Outdoor living is a staple in South Baldwin, and your patio or porch deserves just as much comfort and style as your interiors. Custom outdoor sun shades by Insolroll provide UV protection, reduce heat, and offer added privacy.
These shades are designed to withstand the elements while letting you enjoy the view. Add a motorized lift system for effortless control—even via remote or smartphone app.
