What Blindsgalore does

Blindsgalore, legally Homesublime, LLC, is a San Diego-based direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer specializing in custom-made window treatments for residential and commercial customers across the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) and Canada. Founded in 1998 by a mother-daughter team and operated continuously as a family-owned business for over 25 years, the company sells blinds, shades, shutters, drapery, and related hardware through its own website, supported by phone-based sales, free sample distribution, and virtual design consultations. The product catalog spans more than twenty core categories — cellular/honeycomb, roller, solar, woven wood, roman, sheer, dual/zebra, pleated, outdoor, skylight, arched, and no-drill shades, plus wood, faux wood, mini, Venetian, vertical, and panel track blinds, and faux wood shutters — organized into eight proprietary sub-brands (Classic, Essential, Select, Harmony, Gallery, Envision, Luxera, Signature) and one premium boutique label (BG Boutique), alongside third-party brands Bali, Levolor, and Coolaroo.

All products are custom-manufactured to customer-specified dimensions, with pricing determined per unit based on size, materials, and features. The company's technology differentiator is its broad motorization and smart-home integration layer: lithium-ion battery-powered motorized treatments compatible with Bluetooth, Z-Wave, RF, and Wi-Fi via partnerships with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, IFTTT, Control4, Siri Shortcuts, and brand-specific hubs including Bali Gateway, Levolor InMotion, MotionBlinds, Pro Hub, and NEO Hub. Operational scale signals include a claimed lifetime base of over two million windows covered, BBB A+ accreditation since 2005, WBENC Women's Business Enterprise certification, and a 75% female workforce. Distribution is single-channel direct via blindsgalore.com plus phone and virtual consultation, with free shipping offered on orders within the continental US. The company has no institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed external funding, consistent with a founder-controlled, debt-free operating model.
