In the days before TV remote controls, you needed to get out of your chair to change the channel or adjust the volume. It wasn’t exactly convenient, but you had no choice. Today, you do have a choice, and wouldn’t even think of watching TV without a remote. When it comes to window treatments, some homeowners feel the same way, especially those who have hard-to-reach windows or struggle to operate their large window coverings. Motorization not only adds convenience, but it also enhances safety in the home, eliminating the unsightly, dangling cords that can present a hazard for small children and pets. These are just a few reasons why motorized window treatments are becoming increasingly popular across the country. In the Tempe, Arizona, area, Blind and Shutter Spot can motorize just about any of the shades, shutters, blinds, and draperies we offer...

Choosing window treatments for your home can be an exciting process, especially if you have a clear vision of the interior design you’re seeking.

At Blind and Shutter Spot, we tell customers to first identify their needs. If you know the functional and design needs your new window treatments must serve, you can focus on products that can best fulfill those needs. Then, when you have a working idea of what you need, speak to one of our representatives serving the Tempe, Arizona, area.

Window blinds have been around for a long time—since 1769, in fact. That’s when an Englishman by the name of Edward Bevan was awarded the first patent for Venetian blinds. Adjustments have been made to the invention since then, of course, but the fundamental design of slats in a frame, which you can manipulate to let light into a room, has stayed true. Nowadays, you’ll find window blinds made of different materials in homes of all kinds, from the most modest to the flamboyantly upscale. No matter which type of home you have or what your privacy and light control needs are in Tempe, Arizona, you can find some of the most finely crafted blinds at Blind and Shutter Spot...

Blinds are a popular window treatment choice for many reasons, including versatility, convenience, and easy maintenance. But what really sets them apart is their superior light control capabilities.

When you turn to Blind and Shutter Spot, you can be sure you’re getting the highest quality blinds available. Consider our blinds from Elite Window Fashions.

If you’re a homeowner who likes to adjust the amount of light entering your home throughout the day, shutters are the perfect solution—they allow for fine-tuned light control with large louvers that can be slanted at multiple angles. Because wood is a natural insulator, wood shutters provide better year-round insulation than shades, sheers, or blinds, and they can even contribute to energy savings. Given all these benefits, it’s not hard to see why these distinctive window treatments are popular among the Tempe, Arizona, homeowners that Blind and Shutter Spot serves...
