Fabric Blinds
Modern blinds with a softer feel.
Fabric blinds work like traditional blinds but with soft, cloth slats instead of wood or metal. Tilt them open for filtered light and a view. Tilt them closed for privacy. The fabric turns sunlight into an even glow, with no glare.

Made for Your Lifestyle
Soft blinds have horizontal slats like traditional blinds, but the slats are made of lightweight, translucent fabric instead of wood or metal.
The soft slat design filters harsh sunlight into an even glow — great for glare control without blocking your view.
These light-filtering fabric blinds also have a built-in dual opacity: tilt down for soft, diffused light, tilt up for room darkening. Two levels of control from one window treatment.
Cordless Lift
Raise and lower with a simple push or pull. No cords needed.
EasyTilt™
Tilt the slats with a bar instead of twisting a wand. Simple and smooth.
PowerView® Automation
Control your shades with a remote, app, or voice. Set schedules so they move on their own.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are fabric blinds?
Fabric blinds are horizontal blinds made with soft, cloth slats. They tilt open and closed like regular blinds, but the fabric gives them a softer look, and filters light more gently.
How are soft blinds different from regular blinds?
Traditional blinds have rigid slats made of wood, faux wood, or aluminum. Fabric blinds use soft, lightweight cloth slats that diffuse light and create a warmer, less harsh look in your room.
Do cloth blinds filter light well?
Yes. The translucent fabric softens incoming sunlight and spreads it evenly, reducing glare while still letting natural light in.
Do soft slat blinds work on large windows?
Yes. They’re designed for extra-large windows, sliding glass doors, and French doors. They’re a great option when you want something softer than traditional blinds on a big opening.
Can fabric window blinds be motorized?
Yes. PowerView® automation lets you tilt your blinds with a remote, phone app, or voice commands through Alexa or Google Home.
Are textured blinds hard to clean?
No. The fabric resists dust. Regular dusting or a light vacuum with a brush attachment keeps them looking fresh.
Do you install fabric blinds in Omaha and Lincoln?
Yes. We custom-measure and install soft blinds, horizontal blinds, and other window treatments throughout Omaha, Lincoln, and the surrounding areas.
