Custom Window Treatments in Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville isn't one housing market: it's a dozen of them stacked within one county line, and anyone who has worked on homes across the city knows it.
A 1915 Craftsman bungalow off Belmont Boulevard has deep casings and window openings that are rarely square. A Victorian in Historic Edgefield has tall, narrow double-hung windows, built long before anyone thought about insulation. A tall-and-skinny new build in East Nashville has oversized windows, an open stairwell, and a west-facing exposure that turns a living room into a greenhouse by four o'clock. Each of those homes needs something different.
At Blind & Shutter Gallery, we've been a Hunter Douglas gallery in Nashville for more than 25 years, helping homeowners find the perfect custom window treatments for their homes. We're a locally owned Nashville window treatment store, and our showroom on Armory Drive sits in the middle of the market we serve, just a few minutes from Berry Hill, 12 South, and Green Hills. Our designers measure and install throughout Davidson County and the surrounding communities, and that experience gives us insight into which window treatments work across the variety of Nashville architecture.
Working with Historic Homes
Our city takes preservation seriously. Nashville maintains nine historic preservation overlays and more than two dozen neighborhood conservation zoning overlays, covering neighborhoods such as Edgefield, Lockeland Springs-East End, Waverly-Belmont, and Belmont-Hillsboro. If you call one of these neighborhoods home, exterior alterations must be reviewed by the Metro Historic Zoning Commission. Its design guidelines include windows and exterior shutters.
So what does this mean in practice? Generally, interior window treatments are your own decision. Anything that changes the exterior appearance of the house may not be. Before you commit to a product in one of these districts, it's worth reviewing these guidelines. We can help you navigate them.
Older Nashville homes also have practical quirks. Original window openings shift as a house settles. Casings are often deeper than modern standards. Sills are worn. Fortunately, these are solvable problems, but they do call for careful measuring. Because of these quirks, every project we handle starts with a designer looking at your windows, rather than a number over the phone.
Our Hunter Douglas Product Selection
As a Hunter Douglas Gallery, we carry their full line of custom window treatments in Nashville:
Shutters Near Nashville, TN
Shutters are a popular choice in Nashville's historic neighborhoods. Heritance® Hardwood Shutters are ideal for period homes that require authentic materials. NewStyle® Composite Shutters and Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters resist warping caused by Middle Tennessee humidity, making them a better choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and sunrooms.
Shades Near Nashville, TN
Shades cover the widest range of needs, offering light filtration, privacy, and energy savings. Duette® Honeycomb Shades trap air at the glass, helping reduce summer cooling bills (especially in older homes). Silhouette® and Pirouette® Sheer Shades filter harsh afternoon light while preserving your view, and roller and solar shades handle oversized windows common in newer builds.
Blinds Near Nashville, TN
Blinds are a practical, budget-conscious option. Parkland® Wood Blinds bring warmth to any room, while EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds deliver the same look in spaces where moisture would damage real wood.
Drapery Near Nashville, TN
Drapery adds softness, insulation, and color, and it layers well over blinds, shades, or shutters in rooms with tall windows or high ceilings.
Automation and More Near Nashville, TN
PowerView® Automation is increasingly popular in new construction, especially for stairwell windows, transoms, or any difficult-to-reach openings. Shades can run on a schedule, close automatically during peak afternoon heat, or respond to a voice command.

Stopping by our Hunter Douglas showroom in Nashville is the best way to see all your window treatment options in person and consider your options. You can visit us at 2969 Armory Drive, Suite 400B, six days a week. There's no pressure to buy anything while you're here. Come look, ask questions, and leave with a few samples if you want to sit with them a while.
