Window Treatment Online Sources To Shop For Your Home

Curtains, woven wood blinds, and cloth Roman shades — the window treatment online sources I use.

Shopping window treatments online has evolved. While I love the look of bespoke designer curtains, sometimes they are not as available or affordable as you wish. There are a few sources that I recommend to friends and family for curtains, woven wood blinds, and cloth Roman shades. Here’s where I shop — and what I like about each one.

Three Window Treatment Styles Worth Knowing

Before we get to the window treatment online sources, a quick word on the three treatment types this post covers — because each one does something different in a room. Whether you want privacy, to block out light or just soften a window, there is something for everyone.

Curtains are the most decorative of the three. Floor-length panels add height, softness, and a sense of luxury that nothing else quite replicates. Hang them beyond the window frame to make windows look wider and taller.

Woven wood blinds (also called bamboo shades or matchstick blinds) are the texture makers. Handcrafted from natural materials — bamboo, reeds, grasses, jute — they bring warmth and an organic quality that synthetic treatments simply can’t match. No two are ever identical. They’re beautiful layered under curtain panels, where the contrast of woven natural material and soft drapery creates exactly a kind of collected, curated look.

Cloth Roman shades are the tailored choice — fabric that folds up in clean, structured pleats when raised, and lays flat and beautiful when lowered. They sit beautifully inside or outside a window frame and bring a polished, custom feel to a room.

Now, the window treatment online sources.

1. Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn is one of the most reliable window treatment online sources. Their selection is broad: curtains in cotton-linen blends and Roman shades in a wide range of fabrics.

For curtains, their blackout panels come in a cotton-linen blend that hangs beautifully and reads as quality without feeling stiff. The color palette leans toward the classics — oatmeal, white, soft neutrals — with occasional forays into pattern.

Their Roman shades and custom fabric options allow you to choose your fabric, your lining (light-filtering or blackout), and whether to mount inside or outside the frame.

The hardware selection — rods and brackets in antique bronze, pewter, nickel, and brass — is polished and well-curated, and it’s genuinely satisfying to shop the whole window treatment in one place.

2. Ballard Designs

If Pottery Barn is the reliable classic among window treatment online sources, Ballard Designs is where you go when you want something with a little more personality. Their drapery collection skews European and designer-inspired.

Ballard is strong on curtain panels with interesting fabric choices: textured linens, prints, embroidered details, and trims that elevate a room from pretty to polished. Their Roman shades lean toward a more formal, structured look — the kind of window treatment you’d see in a well-appointed dining room or library, where the shade itself makes a statement.

Curtain panels with more design personality — pattern, texture, detail. Great for formal living spaces, dining rooms, and any room where the window treatment is a design feature (like our grandson, Leo’s room).

3. Blinds.com

Among window treatment online sources, Blinds.com is the one I turn to specifically for woven wood shades for maximum customization at a good price point. (Incidentally, they are owned by Home Depot now). I used them in our San Francisco apartment as the price was good and we were renting.

Their woven wood shades are handcrafted from exotic reeds, grasses, woods, and bamboo, and the customization options are impressive: light-filtering or blackout liners, waterfall or valance finish, edge binding to protect the shade and add a decorative detail, and cordless or motorized lift options.

The site guides you through each customization step with clear prompts and visuals, and their in-house design consultants are available by phone if you want to talk through your project before ordering (which is what my sister did).

Samples are available — and I’d strongly recommend ordering them before committing, especially for woven wood shades, where color and texture read very differently in person than on screen.

Shipping typically runs about two weeks for custom orders.

4. AD Couture Home on Etsy

This is the window treatment online source on this list that feels most like discovering a secret. I used them for the Thibaut designer fabric curtains in our guest room.

AD Couture Home is a Florida-based Etsy shop that has been operating for 18 years. What they offer is custom drapery and Roman shades made in the USA, at a price point considerably more accessible than a traditional workroom. Use code: CCH15 to get 15% off.

The one thing to plan for is lead time. It takes longer to get exactly what you want.

Tips for Shopping Window Treatments Online

• Order samples first.
• Measure twice (at least). Custom window treatments are exactly that: custom. Most sites offer clear measuring guides for inside vs. outside mount, and many have consultants available to help. When I order woven inset blinds, I measure across the window three times. Here is a good video.
• Consider hardware. Once you’ve chosen your treatment, the rod and bracket become part of the composition.
