BLINDS & WINDOW COVERINGS

Window coverings do so much more than offer privacy for your home. They provide shade + block UV rays, frame your view, and have a significant impact on the look + feel of your home. Whether you're looking for light-filtering cellular blinds, blackout roller shades, wood (or faux wood) blinds, shutters, roman shades, or luxurious drapes and curtains, Mountain Home Decor has everything to dress your windows. With so many styles to choose from, you’re sure to find window coverings for every room in your home that suit your lifestyle and your interior design.

Interested in window coverings?
No idea where to start?

We break it down for you step-by-step:

STEP 1:

Take a look at Graber’s website. Graber is our primary supplier for window coverings for a multitude of reasons (their outstanding warranty being one of them). Their website is full of helpful images, tools, and information on the different options available, and may even give you some inspiration!

You know the old saying “you get what you pay for”? Well, with window coverings, this could not be more accurate. There are plenty of quick fix options when you find yourself in a pinch, but good quality window coverings will add character + detail as well as value to your home. Our window coverings are high quality and durable, even withstanding the high wear and tear of rental units. Investing in quality window coverings will elevate your space and save you in the long run!

Graber’s window coverings are high quality and available in a wide price range with a large variety of styles and colours. From cost effective options, like metal blinds or simple roller shades to higher end styles like top-down-bottom-up cellular blinds, custom drapery, or shutters. Their warranty guarantee is unmatched in the industry, so you know your investment is covered. Graber stands behind their products and values their customers.

STEP 2:

Schedule your free consultation appointment with Laura, the owner of Mountain Home Decor & resident blind expert. Ideally this appointment takes place at our store in Whistler, but this can also be done over the phone if you live out of town or are not able to physically come into the store.

This consultation provides the opportunity to discuss all of the window covering options available, view our showroom sample blinds, and browse through the fabric / wood / colour samples for each type of blind. It is helpful if you bring along photos of your home to help give Laura a visual reference to the look and feel of your home as well as your window conditions. 

STEP 3:

If you are comfortable taking your own precise measurements for the custom order, you can skip this step. However, we highly recommend having our installer take your site measurements to ensure accuracy. We will forward your contact information on to our installer and they will contact you directly to set up your site measure appointment. During this appointment the installer will also gather information to provide a quote for installing your window coverings.

STEP 4:

Once we have received the precise measurements (either from yourself or from our installer), we will provide you with a precise quote. We are happy to quote on several different types of window coverings or fabric options, if you are trying to decide between a few styles.

STEP 5:

Once you are ready to place your order, we require a credit card to process a 50% deposit. The remaining balance is due when the blinds arrive. Lead time on window coverings varies based on style & type—orders for any of the most popular styles (i.e. roller/solar shades, cellular, wood/faux wood) typically take 2-3 weeks once the order has been placed. Drapery and other specialty window coverings may take up to 4 weeks. If you are concerned about timeline, please let Laura know and she can advise if the style you’ve chosen will suit your schedule. Of course if you have any questions at any point during this process, do not hesitate to contact us! We are happy to help.

STEP 6:

The blinds arrive—installation time! If you or your contractor are installing the blinds, we will contact you directly to notify you the order has arrived. The order can be picked up from our store in Whistler.

If our installer is doing the installation, we notify both you and the installer, and they will reach out to you directly to schedule a time to come by and complete the installation. The installer will bring the window coverings with them to the installation appointment.
