Blinds at Home Brings Personalized Window Solutions to Your Space

The character of a home reflects the people in it.
That is why Blinds at Home consultants come to the customer’s space. On site, they discuss and design custom window treatments that fit the unique style and vision of each home or business.
Blinds at Home is locally owned and operated, serving Indianapolis and eight surrounding counties with tailored solutions and service. Brian Tipmore owns and operates the business, which offers a wide variety of quality blinds, shades, draperies and shutters to complement any space, residential or commercial.
Before starting Blinds at Home, Tipmore had a window covering franchise with another company. With that experience, he successfully transitioned into his own business — a dream realized. The company has more than 25 years of combined experience in the Indianapolis area and also has representatives in the greater Cincinnati area and Louisville.
“We believe our customer service experience sets us apart. Blinds at Home makes selections and installations an easy, stress-free process,” Tipmore says.
Every project brings a custom solution designed specifically for the customer’s space. On-site consultations allow staff to see the actual space, décor and windows where products will be installed. Customers receive design advice, multiple sample options, and exact measurements on the spot. Professional installation ensures quality results to successfully wrap up each project.
Customers want window treatments that fit their space, both literally and aesthetically. Blinds at Home can meet nearly every need, inside or outside the home or business.
A wide variety of blinds, shades and shutters is available in a range of colors and styles, as well as fabric options in draperies, Roman shades and top treatments. Blinds at Home works with leading window covering manufacturers, including Springs Window Fashions, Norman Window Fashions and Hunter Douglas.
Shades are available in seven types, including popular cellular shades that help insulate the home, versatile roller shades, and sliding panels to cover expansive windows — among other stylish choices.
Blind options include faux wood, wood, aluminum and vertical blinds in a variety of colors to fit any style.
Shutters are a classic solution for windows and are offered in both wood and faux wood, in various slat sizes and colors.
Exterior options include solar shades and aluminum plantation shutters to guard against the elements.
All shades and blinds are cordless and have the popular option of motorization. The base-level option uses a remote control, while the upgraded smart hub application works via smartphone. Customers can manage multiple shades, set timers and adjust them even while traveling.
Tipmore believes the “at home” business model provides a better, more personalized experience than a physical store can offer.
“We can connect with customers in their home, where we can see their décor, their style,” he says. “Then we can provide expert advice to come up with the right solution together.”
This model has benefits for the Tipmore family, too. Brian is able to work from home, allowing him flexibility to attend soccer games, track meets and school events.
His leap of faith as an entrepreneur is a win-win. Looking to the future, Tipmore plans to grow the business, starting with a presence in Fort Wayne.
