Bindi and Bird, a sister-owned custom blinds and window covering store in Bellingham, WA, is built around 2026’s two biggest trends, smart motorized shades and energy-efficient cellular honeycomb shades, offering homeowners both under one roof through Hunter Douglas, Lafayette, Graber, Norman, and Alta.<\/div>\n

Bellingham, WA – August 21, 2026 –<\/strong> <\/strong>Two trends are defining how homeowners are covering their windows this year. Smart and motorized shades have become the biggest shift in the industry, with systems that adjust automatically to schedules, sunlight, or personal preference, cutting glare and helping regulate indoor temperature without anyone lifting a finger. Cellular honeycomb shades are close behind, prized for a layered structure that traps air at the window and keeps homes comfortable through every season of the year.<\/p>\n

Bindi and Bird, a custom blinds and window covering store in Bellingham, has built its selection around both. As an authorized Hunter Douglas dealer, the store carries motorized systems that pair naturally with its cellular shade offerings, giving homeowners access to both trends under one roof.<\/p>\n

Sliding glass doors are where those two trends show up together most. Bindi and Bird fits patio doors with motorized roller shades and panel track systems, which offer smoother operation and cleaner stacking than older vertical blinds, along with Luminette window shadings that pair sheer fabric panels with rotating vanes for wide openings. Automation matters even more here, since sliding doors get used constantly and face shifting sunlight throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Honeycomb shades, meanwhile, have become something of a signature for the store. Options like Hunter Douglas Duette and Applause pair that same insulating cell structure with a soft, tailored look, and Bindi and Bird carries the style across Hunter Douglas, Lafayette, Graber, Norman, and Alta, giving homeowners real range in fabric, texture, and price without having to shop around.<\/p>\n

Behind the store are sisters Jodie and Jolene, who started Bindi and Bird for a simple reason: homeowners deserved access to the very best selection of window coverings for their homes. That commitment has since turned the sister-owned store into one of the region’s most sought-after names for custom blinds, honeycomb shades, and window treatments. The sisters credit much of that to a hand-selected team with years of experience in the industry, who carry that vision into every in-home consultation, from the first walkthrough through the final install.<\/p>\n

Even the name carries a personal touch. Both sisters loved the idea of naming the business Bindi and Bird, after their own dogs, and that instinct to keep things close to home still runs through everything the store does.<\/p>\n

“We wanted people to feel like they were working with someone who actually cares about their home, not just placing an order,” Jodie said. “Blinds and shades are one of the few finishing touches that change how a whole room feels, and we take that seriously.”<\/p>\n

Both sisters remain closely involved in the business, working alongside a hand-selected team of experienced specialists they credit for the care each project gets. What began as a shared commitment to getting a room right has grown into the kind of business homeowners find through a simple blinds Bellingham search, and keep coming back to for the next room, and the one after that.<\/p>\n
