Four reasons your blinds and shutters turn out right.

01

Locally Owned

Call Love Is Blinds and you get me, not a call center. I quote the job, install it myself, and pick up the phone if you ever need anything after.

02

Free In-Home Estimates

I bring the full showroom to your living room, samples and all, so you can hold each blind and shade up to your own light before you decide.

03

Custom Measured

I measure every window myself so your shutters and shades fit clean, even in older Des Moines homes with settled, out-of-square frames.

04

Clean Installation

On time, tidy, and respectful of your home. I hang everything, test it, and haul the boxes out before I go.

Custom blinds, shades & shutters, built for your room.

Every blind, shade, and shutter is custom made for your windows and installed by me. Not sure about blinds vs shades, or the best blinds for a bedroom versus a bright kitchen? That is exactly what the in-home visit is for, and I'll even show you how to measure for blinds so the fit comes out right.

Custom window treatments in three simple steps.

No showroom runs, no guesswork, no pressure, from the first call to the finished room.

Questions Des Moines homeowners ask me.

Straight answers to what neighbors ask most. Have a different question? Call (515) 850-9700 and you will talk to the owner.

Do you really come to my home for the estimate?
Yes, every time. I bring the full sample case to your living room, measure each window myself, and write up an honest quote on the spot. You get to see the blinds, shades, and shutters in your own light before you decide anything.
What areas around Des Moines do you serve?
I cover Des Moines and the surrounding metro, including West Des Moines, Ankeny, Waukee, Urbandale, Johnston, Clive, Altoona, and the nearby suburbs. If you do not see your town, give me a call. I most likely cover it.
How much do custom blinds, shades, or plantation shutters cost?
It depends on the size and number of windows, the material you choose, and any specialty shapes. Since everything is custom made to your openings, the honest way to get a real number is a free in-home estimate, where I measure and hand you an itemized quote with no obligation.
Which window treatments are best for Iowa winters?
Cellular, or honeycomb, shades are the workhorses here. They trap a pocket of air at the glass and slow the heat that escapes on a cold Iowa night, which eases the load on your furnace and your MidAmerican bill. Pairing them with plantation shutters up front is a common Des Moines setup.
How long does it take from estimate to install?
Most projects run about two to four weeks from the in-home estimate to install day. Custom plantation shutters can sit on the longer end because they are built to your exact frames. I give you the timeline in writing before anything is ordered.
Do you offer motorized or smart shades?
Yes. Motorized blinds and shades can run from a remote, your phone, or a quick word to Alexa, Google, or Siri, and they are perfect for tall or hard-to-reach windows. I program and test everything on install day before I leave.
