Custom Window Treatments in Bellevue

The short version

Seattle Blinds measures and installs custom Hunter Douglas window treatments in Bellevue, including blinds, shades, shutters, verticals, and motorized options. We're a family-owned, certified Hunter Douglas dealer, and our closest showroom is in Redmond. A free in-home consultation brings the samples to your windows, or you can come see everything working in the showroom first.

Where we work in Bellevue

All of it. Bellevue is part of our regular service area, from condos downtown to houses in West Bellevue, Somerset, and Lake Hills, and the rest of the Eastside around it. If you're not sure about your address, mention it when you book or call (425) 222-2225.

What Bellevue windows tend to need

Afternoon sun on west-facing glass. Summer sun comes in low through west-facing windows on this side of the lake, and the rooms with the best view often get the most glare. Solar shades are built for this: they cut heat and glare while you keep the view. Our solar shades guide goes through openness and fabric options.

High-rise and condo glass. Floor-to-ceiling windows leave you with a lot of glass to cover and not much wall to hide a shade against. Roller shades stack into a compact roll at the top and keep a clean line. Your building may have rules about what shows from outside, so check with your HOA before the consultation.

Tall windows in newer homes. Plenty of newer Eastside homes have great rooms and stairwell windows you can't reach. Motorized shades solve that from a remote or your phone, and you can set them on a schedule. They're also one of the few window treatments buyers notice in a showing. Our motorized price guide lists what we quote per window.

Gray winters. A heavy fabric can make a room feel dimmer from fall through spring. In living rooms that already run low on daylight, a light-filtering fabric usually works better, and you can save blackout for the bedrooms. If you want soft light with a view, Silhouette and Pirouette are the two to compare.

How it works

  1. Book a free in-home consultation. A consultant comes to your home, measures every window, and brings samples so you can see them in your own light.
  2. Get your quote. We always make a home visit before quoting, because window size and casing change the number.
  3. We order it. Custom coverings are made to your measurements, and two to four weeks is normal. Specialty products and unusual sizes take longer.
  4. Our crew installs it. A typical whole house takes two to four hours in one visit, and they walk you through how everything works before they leave.

Our installation guide covers that day in more detail.
