It's Time to Upgrade to Cordless Window Blinds
Many window blinds operate with cords, creating safety concerns for families with small children and pets. For many homeowners, that last point is the most critical feature.
Jackie & Bill's Drapery & Interiors offers Hunter Douglas window treatments that address that need for safety, and you can browse cordless window blinds and shades from this leading brand here in our Wichita showroom.
How Cordless Window Blinds Keep Everyone Safer
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission strongly recommends that people purchase and install cordless window coverings instead of styles with cords, posting “The safest option when young children are present is to go cordless.”
But how do these systems work?
Cordless blinds operate with a simple push-up, pull-down motion. You can adjust them with one hand, and you won't have to fumble with cord locks or remember which way pulls the blinds up or down. There are no dangling cords to tempt children or pets, and nothing to get stuck in the vacuum cleaner.
The clean look matters, too; without cords hanging around, windows look more polished. No visual clutter, no weird angles where cords bunch up. Just clean lines that make any room feel more put-together.
Another cordless option is motorization, which adds even more convenience.
Cordless Window Blinds From Hunter Douglas
Hunter Douglas manufactures and customizes different styles of cordless horizontal blinds, including:
- EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds mimic the appearance of genuine wood and resist humidity. Choose2" or 2½" slats, and browse a selection of over 50 colors. These blinds resist warping, bowing, yellowing, and fading.
- Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds have narrower ½", 1", or 2" slats and smooth matte or pearlescent finishes. Their streamlined, sleek, and durable profile suits children’s rooms, bathrooms, and other casual interior spaces.
- Parkland® Wood Blinds are for homeowners who want the real deal. This style features genuine basswood that’s light enough to operate easily but sturdy enough for wide living room windows. Hunter Douglas offers these with 2" or 2 ½" slats and 50+ paint and stain choices.
Operating Systmes for Cordless WIndow Blinds
Depending on the style chosen, the Hunter Douglas cordless operating system options are:
- SimpleLift™ enables effortless blind adjustment with button-operated raising and lowering; choose the wand option for angling the slats.
- LiteRise® provides manual operation of horizontal window treatments with easy push-up or pull-down hand movements.

The Beauty of Cordless Faux Wood Blinds
Cordless faux wood blinds are safer than traditional corded blinds and have an added bonus: they are resistant to heat and moisture. The composite materials won't warp in your steamy bathroom or crack above your kitchen window where the afternoon sun beats down. And when you go the custom route, these window treatments look just like expensive wood.
