Does the preview show inside-mount versus outside-mount installation?

Yes. The AI renders the treatment against the actual frame and reveal you photographed, so an inside-mount headrail sits inside the window casing and an outside-mount version extends past it onto the wall — the same visual difference the customer sees once it's installed.

Can it show motorized shades next to manual or cordless options?

Yes. Run the same window through both — a manual cordless lift and a motorized version with the headrail and control location the customer is actually considering — so the upgrade conversation happens with a picture in front of them instead of a spec sheet.

Does it account for how much light a fabric actually blocks — blackout, light-filtering, or sheer?

Yes. The preview reflects the opacity level of the fabric selected, not a flat color swap, so a homeowner comparing a blackout roller shade against a light-filtering version in the same room can see the difference in how much daylight comes through, not just the color.

Can it match specific manufacturer swatches — Hunter Douglas, Levolor, Comfortex — so what the customer sees matches what actually gets ordered?

Yes. We build the preview against your supplier catalog and swatch library during setup, so the slat color or fabric the customer approves on screen is the same SKU that goes on the purchase order — no gap between the preview and what shows up on install day.

Can I preview blinds, shutters, and drapery side by side in the same room so the customer can compare product categories?

Yes. Generate separate previews of the same window in each product category — a wood blind, a plantation shutter, a drapery panel — and show them side by side. Customers who can't decide between categories from a sample book usually decide fast once they see all three on their own window.

Does it handle bay windows, arches, and other non-standard shapes?

Yes, within reason. Bay windows, arched tops, and angled frames photograph and render correctly as long as the window is clearly visible in the source photo. Deeply recessed or heavily obstructed windows may need a second angle for an accurate result — your installer will know which shots work best after the first few uses.

Are customer photos stored or retained?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your business needs and make sure it meets GDPR, CCPA, or any other regulation that applies. No training on your data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Window Treatments

Show homeowners their blinds on their own windows before you cut the order to size

Photograph the window during the in-home consult. Makeover renders the exact slat color, fabric, or shutter finish onto that opening in seconds — so the customer signs off before you submit a custom, non-returnable order.

What is a blinds preview preview?

A blinds preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of blinds, shades, or shutters installed in a customer's actual window opening. The consultant photographs the window during the in-home measure appointment, and the tool renders the selected slat color, fabric, or shutter finish directly onto that window — matching mount type, frame color, and the room's own light. Window treatment dealers use it to get fabric sign-off before submitting a custom-cut order that can't be returned once it's trimmed to size.

Why it matters

Blinds, shades, and shutters are made to the window's exact dimensions — once a slat is trimmed or a shutter panel is routed to fit the frame, it can't go back on the shelf, and most manufacturers charge a remake fee if the customer changes their mind after install. A single window typically runs $150 to $400 for stock aluminum or faux-wood blinds and climbs to $600–$2,000+ per window for real-wood plantation shutters or motorized cellular shades, so a whole-house order routinely lands in the $5,000–$20,000 range. The fabric fan deck and sample ring are still the default sales tool in this trade, and they're also the biggest source of comebacks: a swatch the size of a business card looks nothing like the same fabric covering an 80-inch bay window. Showing the actual window, in the actual room, turns a sample-ring guess into a confirmed decision before anything gets cut.

Who uses this

In-home design consultants for franchise dealers — Budget Blinds, 3 Day Blinds, Sunburst Shutters — use it during the measure appointment to lock the fabric decision in before writing the order. Independent window treatment retailers and Hunter Douglas or Levolor dealer showroom staff use it with walk-in customers who bring in a photo of their own window. Installers handling a remeasure after a color complaint use it to confirm the replacement choice before the order goes back to the shop a second time.

Heard this from a homeowner?

They flip through the fabric fan deck and stall: "I like this in my hand, but I can't tell if it'll read this dark once it's actually up in my window."

You show them a photo of another customer's room in the same fabric. They say "that room doesn't get the light mine does — I still don't know what this will look like in my house."

They ask you to quote blinds, shutters, and drapery separately because they can't picture the difference in their own room, and the decision stalls for weeks while sample rings pile up on the kitchen table.

How blinds preview previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph the window during the measure visit

Any window, any light — the consultant snaps it on a phone during the standard in-home measure appointment. No special camera or staging required.

AI renders the fabric onto that exact window

The model applies the selected slat color, fabric, or shutter finish to the actual frame, mount type, and headrail style — accounting for the room's own light, not a showroom lightbox.

Get sign-off before the order is cut

The customer sees their own window, not a sample ring. Confirm the color and mount on the spot, then submit the order knowing it won't come back as a remake.
