Curtains help control light, add texture, introduce color, and create layers at your windows. At The Blind Guy near Kalispell, we carry shades and drapery that do the same thing, but our curtain alternatives are made from premium materials, customized to your windows’ dimensions, and professionally installed for a precise fit.

Our team can help you choose window treatments that coordinate flawlessly with your color palette and decor. You can even add motorization to improve light control and maximize energy efficiency. We can come to your home with window treatments from top brands, including Hunter Douglas, Norman®, Graber®, and Alta®.

Curtain Alternatives 

The Minimalist Choice: Roman Shades

Roman shades are a timeless addition to any room. Made of soft fabrics that come in a wide range of hues, patterns, textures, and opacities, these curtain alternatives stack seamlessly when raised and lay flat when lowered.

Are you looking for neutral shades with crisp lines for your modern dining room? Or maybe you’re keen on the room-darkening benefits of custom Roman shades for your bedroom? Anywhere you want a clean, uncluttered look for your space, these window treatments are a great choice.

The Natural Choice: Woven Wood Shades

Made from natural materials like bamboo, grass, and rattan, woven wood shades are globally sourced and made to be sturdy and strong, so they won’t bend, bow, or break. These fabrics are naturally insulating and sound absorbing, and since they’re made from organic materials, each one is completely unique. Choose from vertical panel-style solutions or a Roman shade configuration to add elegance, texture, and flair to your home.

The Modern Choice: Norman® SmartDrape™

Norman® SmartDrape™ Shades feature an innovative sheer and fabric vane design, so they feel like drapery with an architectural vibe. Ideal for sliding glass doors, these custom window treatments let you walk through them even when shut, making them ideal for kids and pets. Since these drapes can span up to 12 feet, they’re a wonderful solution for large living room windows or sliding glass doors, especially since they slide effortlessly and block glare and UV light.

The Luxurious Choice: Custom Drapery

We carry drapery from Hunter Douglas and Graber®, and our team can use them to create gorgeous custom drapery for your home. There is a difference between curtains and drapes; curtains are typically made from lighter fabrics like linen and cotton, while drapery uses heavier fabrics like velvet.

Drapery also has a more formal feel and often extends from the ceiling to the floor, making your home look bigger and creating a luxurious atmosphere. The fabric can also help absorb sound, while layers allow you to control light and privacy very effectively. We have a library of thousands of drapery fabrics to help you achieve the look and style you envision for your home.

Customizing Shades and Drapery

Our drapery and shades are available in hundreds of colors, patterns, opacities, and materials, so you can select a natural fabric like linen, cotton, or wool and decide exactly how light or heavy you want it to look. You can also choose specific light-filtering or room-darkening options to get the balance of light you want.

Dual shades, which are two independently operating shades that you can use to achieve different qualities of light and privacy throughout the day, are another option. Similarly, you can layer drapery fabrics, choosing a sheer or light-filtering fabric and a heavier, room-darkening option to cultivate a specific aesthetic with similar control over light and privacy.

Should You Motorize Your Curtain Alternatives?

Motorizing window treatments makes them easier to use, more efficient, and safer for kids. Schedule them to close during the hottest parts of the day to save energy and set them to open in the morning so natural light gradually fills your home. Closing them at night takes just a tap for instant privacy. You can also save your favorite raised or lowered positions to return to them at any time.
