Blinds We Offer
Every home is different, and so is every window. That is why we carry a full range of blind styles and materials, each one available in custom sizes, colors, and finishes. Here is a closer look at the options available at our Gettysburg showroom.
Natural Wood Blinds
Natural wood blinds bring a warmth and richness to any room that is difficult to replicate with other materials. Crafted from basswood, oak, or other premium hardwoods, these blinds act as a natural insulator, helping regulate your home’s temperature while blocking harmful UV rays. Wood blinds are a popular choice for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms throughout the Gettysburg area, where homeowners appreciate the way real wood complements both historic architecture and modern interiors. Available in a wide range of stains and paint finishes, wood blinds can be customized to match your existing trim, furniture, or flooring.
Faux Wood Blinds
Faux wood blinds deliver the classic look of real wood with added durability and moisture resistance. Made from high-quality composite materials or vinyl, these blinds hold up exceptionally well in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms where humidity can warp or damage natural wood over time. They are also an excellent choice for families with young children or pets, since faux wood resists scratches and dents far better than its natural counterpart. Best of all, faux wood blinds cost less than real wood while still providing the same clean, timeless appearance that Gettysburg homeowners love.
Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds are the go-to solution for sliding glass doors, patio doors, and extra-wide windows. Instead of horizontal slats, vertical blinds use individual vanes that hang from a top track, allowing you to tilt them open for filtered light or slide them completely to one side for an unobstructed view. This makes them ideal for sunrooms, great rooms, and any space with large openings. Modern vertical blinds come in fabric, vinyl, and faux wood options, so you are not limited to the basic white panels of decades past. Our team can help you choose a material and color that fits seamlessly with the rest of your home.
Aluminum Blinds
Aluminum blinds offer a sleek, modern look at a price point that works for nearly any budget. Lightweight and incredibly durable, these blinds are water-resistant, easy to clean, and effective at reflecting UV rays. Aluminum is a practical choice for offices, rental properties, and high-traffic areas of the home where performance matters as much as appearance. Available in mini-blind and standard slat widths, aluminum blinds come in dozens of colors, from classic white and silver to bold accent shades.
Why Gettysburg Homeowners Choose Schmitt’s Interiors
75+ Years of Local Expertise
Founded by Jay and Catherine Schmitt in the 1940s, our business has served Gettysburg and the surrounding Adams County communities for over three-quarters of a century. That kind of longevity is only possible when you consistently deliver quality products and honest service. Today, Ryan and Marie Smith carry that tradition forward, bringing the same hands-on approach and attention to detail that our customers have counted on for decades.
Free In-Home Consultations
Choosing blinds from a catalog or a website is difficult. Colors look different on screens than they do in natural light, and measurements need to be precise for a perfect fit. That is why we bring the showroom to you. Our design consultants will visit your home with samples, help you compare options in your actual lighting conditions, and take exact measurements for every window. There is no cost and no obligation.
Professional Measurement and Installation
Blinds that do not fit properly look sloppy and do not function the way they should. Our installers have years of experience working with windows of every size and shape, from the narrow sash windows in Gettysburg’s historic homes to oversized picture windows in newer construction. We handle every step, from precise measurement to final installation, so you can enjoy your new blinds without lifting a finger.
A Real Showroom You Can Visit
Unlike online-only retailers or franchise operations that work out of a van, we maintain a physical showroom right here in Gettysburg. Stop by to see and touch our products in person, ask questions, and get expert advice from people who actually live and work in your community.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blinds
The cost of custom blinds varies depending on the material, size of your windows, and any special features like motorization or blackout lining. Faux wood and aluminum blinds tend to be the most budget-friendly, while natural wood and motorized options fall at the higher end. We provide free, no-obligation quotes during your in-home consultation so you know exactly what to expect before making a decision.
Natural wood blinds are made from real hardwood and offer a rich, authentic look. They work best in rooms with stable humidity levels, like living rooms and bedrooms. Faux wood blinds are crafted from composite materials or vinyl, making them more resistant to moisture and better suited for kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-humidity spaces. Both options are available in similar colors and finishes, so the choice often comes down to where the blinds will be installed and your personal budget.
For most homes, professional blind installation takes between two and four hours, depending on the number of windows. If you are outfitting an entire home, it may take a full day. Our team will give you a clear time estimate before installation day so you can plan accordingly.
Yes. Blinds create an additional layer of insulation at your windows, which helps keep warm air inside during the winter and blocks solar heat gain in the summer. Wood and cellular-style blinds tend to offer the best insulating properties, but even standard aluminum or faux wood blinds can make a noticeable difference in your energy bills.
Absolutely. We offer motorized blinds that can be controlled with a remote, a wall switch, or even your smartphone. Motorized options are especially popular for hard-to-reach windows, skylights, and whole-home automation setups. Ask about motorized upgrades during your consultation.
Most blinds can be maintained with a quick dusting using a microfiber cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Faux wood and aluminum blinds can be wiped down with a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Wood blinds should be dusted regularly and wiped gently to avoid moisture damage. Our team will walk you through care instructions specific to the blinds you choose.
Yes. Safety is a priority, especially in homes with young children. We carry cordless blinds, motorized blinds, and blinds with inaccessible cord designs that meet current child safety standards. Our consultants can help you choose the safest option for your family.
