Shopping for blinds in Des Moines means dealing with a housing stock that runs from 1890s Victorians in Sherman Hill to mid-century ranches on the south side to brand new downtown lofts, and the right blind is different in each of them. I measure and install custom blinds across the whole city, and every estimate starts at your kitchen table with real samples, not in a showroom across town.
Blinds that fit Des Moines homes
The wide, low picture windows in Des Moines ranch and split-level homes call for blinds sized to the full opening, not stock sizes stretched to fit. Older homes with settled, out of square frames need measuring by hand so the blind hangs straight even when the frame does not. I cover both situations weekly, and my guide to ranch and split-level window treatments goes deeper on what works in these layouts.
Faux wood or real wood for Iowa
Iowa humidity decides this one more than style does. Faux wood blinds shrug off steamy kitchens and bathrooms, while real wood blinds are the classic pick for living rooms, dining rooms, and offices. Most Des Moines homes end up with a mix, and I will tell you honestly which windows call for which.
