What they are
Slim blinds for Birmingham’s tight spots
Mini blinds are horizontal blinds with narrow aluminum slats, usually about an inch wide. They stack small at the top of the window and need very little mounting depth, which matters in Birmingham’s older homes, where many windows have shallow frames, and on the French doors that lead to so many backyard patios.
Custom mini blinds are cut to your exact window size, so there are no wide gaps at the sides, and they come in a wide range of colors to match trim, walls or hardware. On doors we add hold-down brackets so the blind stays put when the door swings.
They are a practical, budget-friendly choice for home offices, kids’ rooms, finished basements and garages, and they pair well with fabric treatments in the same room.
- Narrow aluminum slats in many colors
- Very little mounting depth needed
- Custom sized to each window
Where mini blinds work best
Mini blinds shine where space is tight or function matters most.
French doors
Slim blinds mount on the door itself without getting in the way of the handle.
Shallow frames
Narrow headrails fit windows where deeper blinds won’t sit inside the frame.
Home offices
Fine tilt control cuts glare on screens while letting daylight in.
Basements & utility rooms
Durable, affordable coverage for hardworking spaces.
Light control, privacy and value
Simple blinds that do their job well.
Fine light control

Many colors
Choose from a wide range of colors and finishes to match your room.
Budget friendly
One of the most affordable custom options we offer.
Operating options & care
Easy to operate, easy to clean
Mini blinds are typically raised with a cord and tilted with a wand, and cordless options are available on many sizes, which we recommend for homes with young children or pets. On doors, hold-down brackets keep the blind from swinging when the door opens and closes.
To clean mini blinds, close the slats and dust them with a microfiber cloth or a vacuum brush, then flip them the other way and repeat. For a deeper clean, wipe the slats with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Cord and wand or cordless lift
- Hold-down brackets for doors

Mini blind questions
Common questions from Birmingham homeowners about mini blinds.
Will mini blinds fit the shallow window frames in my older Birmingham home?
Usually. Mini blinds need very little depth, so they are one of the best options for the shallow frames common in older Birmingham colonials and Tudors. We measure every opening to confirm.
Can mini blinds go on the French doors to my patio?
Yes. Slim mini blinds mount right on the door, and hold-down brackets keep them from swinging. They clear most handles when properly sized.
Are custom mini blinds better than store-bought?
Custom mini blinds are made to your exact window measurements, so they fit without wide gaps or overhang, and they come in more colors and finishes. We also install them for free.
Are cordless mini blinds available?
Cordless lift is available on many mini blind sizes. We’ll confirm the options for your windows during the consultation.
How do I clean mini blinds?
Close the slats and dust them with a microfiber cloth or vacuum brush, then tilt them the other way and repeat. Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap for a deeper clean.
