What Is Select Blinds?

Select Blinds is a web based company that sells custom and high quality blinds for windows that you can install yourself. They offer a wide range of styles, colors, and blind types to make sure that what you’re getting is exactly what you need.

Select Blinds is different from other similar brands in that they put ease of use and accessibility at the top of their priorities list, making it easy for anyone to get the right product they need. The company is 100% online so there’s no need to go to a retail store and try to remember or write down your window dimensions.

Features

I know that I’ve definitely had some issues in getting a set of blinds to go up and down when I need them to. The cord is super unreliable and even dangerous, to the point where the federal government had to step in and put regulations on them.

Luckily, Select Blinds addresses this issue as most models have a cordless design option with an easy lift system to adjust them to your liking. This is ideal for homes with young children since most accidents, and even fatalities, caused by corded blinds involve kids.

The easy lift system makes it so you don’t have to keep fumbling around with annoying cords, simply lift or lower the blinds from the bottom to your desired height.

The brand also offers motorized electronic blinds that can be adjusted with a remote or a smart home device like Google Home or Amazon Echo. This way you can adjust your blinds with just your voice and truly live in the home of the future.

Select Blinds has a lot of cosmetic options to choose from, so many that it can be kind of overwhelming. Luckily, the company also offers samples of the materials used to make the blinds, so you can see how well the color or material will look with your home decor before committing to a full set.

How Can You Use Select Blinds? / Who Is This For?

Select Blinds are used like any other set of blinds, though the easy lift and motorized options make them far easier to operate than other brands. Once installed, you can adjust them via a cord, wand, remote, or by simply lifting them.

The brand is best for homeowners who want the blind buying and installing experience to be simple and streamlined. The cordless option makes this perfect for families with young children so that you don’t have to worry about them being injured by the cords.

I feel that Select Blinds could also greatly benefit older and disabled individuals, especially with the easy lift and cordless design. Getting motorized blinds would be even better for these individuals, since they won’t have to get up to adjust their blinds.

Web Infrastructure / Branding

I really like the SelectBlinds website, though it does have a few very common issues. For starters, there is a promotional pop up that appears upon entering the site. This has become a very common trend amongst online stores and websites, but I still have to list it as a negative everytime I see it, because I frankly find it very annoying.

Other than looking a little cluttered and overall dense with content, everything on the site has a nice layout and all links I tested worked and went to where they were supposed to go. I really like how there’s so many options to browse for the exact kind of blinds you’re interested in.

For example, if you’re not sure what type of blinds you want, but you’re sure that you want a specific color, the Shop By Color tab lets you select a color and view all the different types of blinds and curtains in that color. You can also browse for specific features like blackout curtains, motorized blinds, and insulated blinds.

Branding for Select Blinds is fairly minimal, but a company that produces a specific piece of home decor like this doesn’t really have to go overboard on their image in my opinion. Select Blinds has just enough color and uniqueness in their marketing materials to stand out, though I do wish they had something to stand out just a little more.

Should You Buy It

If you’re looking to outfit your home with blinds that aren’t going to be too expensive or frustrating to use, then I would highly recommend Select Blinds. Pretty much all the models look great and the company offers so many different options that you’re sure to find something that fits your home.

If you’re buying blinds for a disabled loved one or you are disabled yourself, I would recommend Select Blinds even more for the motorized and smart home options.

Where to Buy

Select Blinds are available for purchase exclusively through the official website. I recommend hitting up the Sale tab first to see if you can get what you are looking for at a cheaper price.
