The Best Places to Buy Blinds for Every Style and Budget

Window treatments are a stunning final touch to any space, whether you want an elegant linen option or blackout shades to minimize morning sunshine. While many retailers sell blinds and other window treatments, not all are created equal. Plus, some stores offer helpful features, like design consultations, professional measurements, free swatches, and home installation.

In our search for the best places to buy blinds, we looked at a number of retailers selling blinds and shades to suit all different budgets and home decor styles. We also spoke with Artem Kropovinsky, interior designer and founder of New York-based interior design studio Arsight. So whether you’re after roller, Roman, wooden, cellular, or vertical blinds, there’s a window treatment for you at one of these top places.

Amazon

Amazon is undoubtedly a shopping go-to, with a convenient app for buying, free next-day shipping on most items with a Prime membership, and a good return window on most items. You can shop for almost any type of blinds in all shapes, sizes, and designs—plus, many window treatments have next-day delivery and a 30-day return policy.

Some sellers on Amazon have customization options so you can shop for blinds suited to your particular measurements. While we like its extensive collection and wide price range, Amazon doesn't offer design consultations, measurement, or installation services. 

Product Range: Faux wooden, wooden, aluminum, vinyl, bamboo, fabric, vertical, motorized | Price Range: From $4 to $1,000 | Shipping Cost: Varies by retailer; often free with Amazon Prime | Return Policy: 30 days

Home Depot

Home Depot is another favorite for window treatments, offering blinds in many styles, colors, and sizes. “A good resource for practical and affordable blinds, Home Depot also provides personalized in-store guidance, making it an excellent choice for those new to the world of interior design,” Kropovinsky says. Home Depot also has measuring services, installation services, and free consultations.

If you shop online, the company offers 10 free swatches with next-day delivery to get the color just right. If the measurements provided are wrong you can return them within 90 days.

Product Range: Wooden, faux wooden, aluminum, vinyl, woven wood, Roman, cordless, roller, cellular, sheer shades | Price Range: From $2 to $332 | Shipping Cost: Free | Return Policy: 90 days

Lowe’s

Lowe’s has an impressive variety of blinds in most materials and colors. You can get them trimmed to your particular window dimensions or buy ready-cut options in-store or online. Plus, shopping is easy via the company’s site—just narrow your choices by size, style, color, or material.

You can even return your custom-made blinds within 90 days; however, if you opt for a refund instead of an exchange, Lowe’s will charge you 35% of the blind’s value. You can also get free samples to make shopping from home easier. 

Product Range: Wooden, faux wooden blinds, natural woven, bamboo, Roman, cellular, vertical, roller, and solar shades | Price Range: From $7 to $1,720 | Shipping Cost: Free for orders over $45 | Return Policy: 90 days

Blinds.com

Thanks to its large and specialized selection of window treatments (and extremely search-friendly site), Blinds.com is another popular option for dressing up your windows. This retailer is a great all-rounder that caters to a wide range of tastes and budgets when it comes to blinds, according to Kropovinskiy. “It offers an impressive inventory, ensuring every customer finds a product that matches their style and functional needs,” he says. 

To ensure you are satisfied with your purchase, the company provides replacements for blinds that don’t fit perfectly. There’s also a flat fee of $199 for installation and free shipping for most blinds. Free samples are limited to 10 per customer.

Product Range: Wooden, faux wooden, vertical, vinyl, fabric, motorized | Price Range: From $23 to $356 | Shipping Cost: Free | Return Policy: 30 days for incorrect sizing

Wayfair

With everything from roller blinds to Roman shades, in styles including semi-sheer, blackout, cellular, UV protecting, and waterproof, Wayfair is a great place to source blinds no matter your tastes and needs. Blinds come in all different prices so you can find options to suit your budget, too.

Though the company offers swatches for many curtains, the same isn't available for blinds, though you can return items within 30 days of delivery. Most blinds come with mounting accessory kits and clear instructions, and you can contact Wayfair via telephone for additional assistance.

Product Range: Wooden, faux wooden, vertical, vinyl, fabric, bamboo, and Roman | Price Range: From $19 to $1,640 | Shipping Cost: Free shipping over $35 | Return Policy: 30 days

West Elm

West Elm’s high-quality designs unsurprisingly extend to its blinds. While the selection isn't as large as some other retailers, the products are chic, sophisticated, and timelessly stylish. You won’t get free swatches, but you can visit one of its 110 stores to see the blinds before buying. 

West Elm does not offer customization options, but most blinds come in various colors, materials, and sizes. Free design services are also available, but unfortunately, no returns are allowed for customized window treatments. If you don’t want to install your blinds yourself, West Elm can sort this out via Porch, a partner company. 

Product Range: Woven, linen, cordless roller, cellular, Roman shades | Price Range: From $195 to $830 | Shipping Cost: Free | Return Policy: 30 days, no returns for custom items

IKEA

You might not get a neverending selection or brand name options, but when it comes to functionality and value for money, IKEA is the way to go. “IKEA is a mecca for modern and minim
