About Us

Family Owned. Globally Sourced. Ottawa Proud. Since 1999.

More Than a Window Treatment Company — A Design Partner for Your Home

When you walk through the door of Blindstore Ltd’s Ottawa showroom at 2047 Carp Road, you are not walking into a store. You are walking into over 25 years of passion, expertise, and an uncompromising commitment to bringing the world’s finest window treatments to the homes and businesses of Ottawa.

Since 1999, Blindstore Ltd has been the window treatment partner that Ottawa’s most discerning homeowners, interior designers, architects, and commercial clients turn to when they want something beyond the ordinary. When they want custom. When they want exceptional. When they want a team that treats their home with the same care and respect they would give their own.

We are a family-owned business — and that distinction matters. It means every client is known, not numbered. Every installation is personal, not transactional. Every decision we make is guided by the values of a family that has staked its name and its reputation on the quality of every single window treatment we supply and install.

This is not a national chain. This is not a warehouse retailer. This is Blindstore Ltd — Ottawa’s home for custom window treatments of the highest order, built by a family that loves what they do and has spent over two decades proving it.

Our Story — 25 Years of Expertise, Global Relationships, Ottawa Roots

Blindstore Ltd was founded in Ottawa in 1999 with a clear and unwavering vision: to bring a level of window treatment quality, design sophistication, and personal service to Ottawa that simply did not exist here before.

From the very beginning, we understood something that most window treatment retailers did not — that the difference between a good window treatment and a truly extraordinary one lies almost entirely in the fabric. In the construction. In the sourcing relationships that give you access to materials that other retailers simply cannot obtain.

Over 25 years, we have built and cultivated direct relationships with the world’s most respected textile designers and manufacturers — across Europe, Korea, and Turkey. These are not catalogue relationships. These are personal, long-term partnerships built on mutual respect, shared standards of quality, and a shared belief that the finest materials deserve to end up in the finest homes.

Those relationships are what allow Blindstore Ltd to bring Ottawa homeowners European fabrics selected by top designers — materials that interior designers in the world’s great cities specify for their most prestigious projects — alongside premium textiles sourced from Korea and Turkey, representing the very best of what those extraordinary textile traditions produce.

The result is a collection that is, without exaggeration, unlike anything else available in Ottawa — or anywhere else in Eastern Ontario. A curated portfolio of the world’s finest window treatment fabrics, brought together in one showroom on Carp Road, available to every Ottawa homeowner who refuses to settle for less than exceptional.

Twenty-five years in, that vision has not changed. If anything, it has deepened.

Proudly Canadian — Our Trusted Canadian Brand Partners

As passionate as we are about bringing global excellence to Ottawa, we are equally passionate about celebrating and supporting the extraordinary quality produced right here in Canada.

Blindstore Ltd is proud to partner with three of Canada’s most respected and trusted window treatment manufacturers — brands that represent the very best of Canadian design, engineering, and craftsmanship, and that have earned the trust of design professionals and homeowners across the country.

Alendel Fabrics

Alendel is one of Canada’s most innovative and celebrated drapery fabric manufacturers — a company whose commitment to colour depth, textile innovation, and design sophistication places their collections in a league shared only by the finest international manufacturers. Alendel fabrics are designed with Canadian homes and Canadian light in mind, and their performance through Ottawa’s seasonal extremes is outstanding. At Blindstore Ltd, we carry the full Alendel collection — making us one of the most comprehensive Alendel sources in the Ottawa region.

Maxxmar Window Fashions

Maxxmar is a Canadian window covering manufacturer of exceptional reputation — known for precision engineering, innovative product development, and a product range that spans the full spectrum of premium window treatment categories. Maxxmar’s commitment to quality and their deep understanding of the Canadian market make them one of our most valued and trusted manufacturing partners. Their products perform beautifully, install flawlessly, and stand the test of Ottawa’s demanding climate year after year.

Elite Window Fashions

Elite Window Fashions is one of North America’s premier drapery fabrication and hardware companies — and Blindstore Ltd is a proud authorized Elite Window Fashions dealer in Ottawa. Elite’s systems — from their celebrated ripple fold drapery tracks to their precision motorized traversing systems — represent the engineering excellence that transforms beautiful fabric into a flawless, professionally installed window treatment. When our drapery clients choose Elite systems, they are choosing hardware trusted by the world’s leading interior designers and hospitality projects.

Together, these three Canadian brands — Alendel, Maxxmar, and Elite Window Fashions — form the Canadian backbone of the Blindstore Ltd collection, complementing our international fabric sourcing with homegrown quality of the highest order.

Globally Sourced — The World’s Finest Fabrics, Brought to Ottawa

What truly sets Blindstore Ltd apart from every other window treatment retailer in Ottawa — and in Eastern Ontario — is the global reach of our fabric sourcing program.

We do not work from standard domestic catalogues. We do not offer the same fabrics available at every other retailer in the city. We source the world’s finest window treatment textiles directly — through the personal relationships our team has spent over 25 years building with manufacturers and designers across three of the world’s most respected textile regions.

European Fabrics — Selected by Top Designers

Europe is home to the world’s most celebrated textile traditions — centuries-old weaving ateliers, heritage mills, and contemporary design houses that produce fabrics of a quality and artistry that no other region on earth can match. Our European fabric collections are personally selected by top designers — individuals whose expertise and relationships within the European textile industry give them access to collections that most retailers never see.

When you choose a European fabric from Blindstore Ltd, you are choosing material that has been evaluated, selected, and approved by design professionals with the highest possible standards. These are the fabrics that define extraordinary interiors.

Korean Premium Textiles

South Korea has emerged as one of the world’s most exciting and innovative textile manufacturing centres — producing window treatment fabrics of remarkable quality, technical precision, and design sophistication. Korean textile manufacturers combine advanced production technology with genuine design talent, producing fabrics — particularly in the sheer, soft vertical, and roller shade categories — that represent genuine world-class quality at the cutting edge of the industry. Blindstore Ltd’s Korean fabric sourcing gives Ottawa homeowners access to premium textiles that are genuinely at the forefront of global window treatment design.

Turkish Luxury Fabrics

Turkey’s textile heritage is among the richest and most storied in the world — a tradition of weaving and fabric production that spans millennia and that today produces some of the most luxurious, most richly textured, and most sought-after decorative fabrics available anywhere. Our Turkish fabric collections bring that extraordinary heritage to Ottawa — fabrics of exceptional weight, colour depth, and tactile richness that transform every room they dress.

This combination — European designer selections, Korean technical innovation, Turkish luxury textiles — alongside our Canadian brand partnerships with Alendel, Maxxmar, and Elite Window Fashions — creates a collection of unmatched breadth and depth. There is simply nowhere else in Ottawa where you can access this range of global textile excellence under one roof.

The Blindstore Ltd 3-Step Design Process

We believe that upgrading your home’s window treatments should be one of the most enjoyable experiences of the design process — not one of the most stressful. Our seamless, three-step process has been refined over 25 years to make the journey from first conversation to finished installation as smooth, as clear, and as enjoyable as possible.

Step 1 — Consultation & Design

Your journey begins at our Ottawa showroom at 2047 Carp Road — where you can see, touch, and experience our full collection in person, including live demonstrations of our motorization systems. Alternatively, we come to you — our in-home consultation service brings our expertise, our fabric samples, and our design knowledge directly to your home, anywhere across Ottawa and the surrounding region.

During your consultation, our specialist takes the time to genuinely understand your vision — your aesthetic goals, your light control requirements, your lifestyle, and your budget. We provide honest, expert guidance with zero pressure and zero rush. This is a design conversation, not a sales pitch.

Step 2 — Precision Measuring & Custom Fabrication

Every window in Ottawa is unique. Every Blindstore Ltd installation is made to measure — custom fabricated to the precise dimensions of your specific windows, in your chosen fabric, your chosen mechanism, and your chosen finish. Our in-home measuring service is meticulous and exacting — because a perfect result begins with a perfect measurement. There are no standard sizes, no approximations, and no compromises in the Blindstore Ltd fabrication process.

Step 3 — Professional Installation

Our experienced installation team handles everything — from the moment they arrive at your Ottawa home to the moment your new window treatments are perfectly in place. We work with precision, with care, and with complete respect for your home and your time. We leave your space clean, your treatments perfectly installed, and you fully confident in operating every feature of your new window treatments. For motorized installations, we program every system completely and ensure you are comfortable with every control option before we leave.

The Blindstore Ltd Promise — Our Commitment to Every Client

You Are Family, Not a File Number

At Blindstore Ltd, every client relationship is personal. You will know the people working on your home. They will know your name, your home, and your vision. From your first consultation to your final installation — and for every question or need that arises afterward — you are treated as a valued member of the Blindstore Ltd community.

Limited Lifetime Warranty on Mechanisms

We stand behind the quality of everything we install with complete confidence. Every Blindstore Ltd installation is backed by a limited lifetime warranty on mechanisms — covering the operating systems, tracks, and hardware of your window treatments for the life of the product. This is not a standard industry warranty. This is our personal commitment that the investment you make in your home’s window treatments is protected — not just for today, but for years and decades to come.

When we say we stand behind our quality, we mean it in the most literal sense. If a mechanism ever fails, we come back and we make it right. That is the Blindstore Ltd promise — and it has been the foundation of our reputation in Ottawa for over 25 years.

Zero Pressure. Complete Transparency.

Our entire business model is built on trust. We are design consultants, not salespeople. We provide honest recommendations based on what is genuinely right for your home and your budget — not on what generates the highest margin for us. Every quote is detailed and transparent. Every recommendation is made with your best interests as the only consideration.

The Same Care in Every Home

Whether we are installing a single roller shade in a Barrhaven townhouse or outfitting an entire luxury estate in Manotick, every Blindstore Ltd client receives identical standards of care, craftsmanship, and service. There are no small clients at Blindstore Ltd. Every home matters. Every window matters.
