It’s been a packed year over at SelectBlinds! From timeless patterns to cutting-edge smart solutions, check out the products and moments that made 2023 a year to remember.
The V&A William Morris Collection
In January, we launched the V&A William Morris Collection, in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum. William Morris was a great champion of the Arts and Crafts Movement and a key figure in British socialism at the end of the 19th century. Morris’ designs interweave flowers, trees, birds, animals and insects influenced by the greenery in his own garden and from walks along the riverbanks.
Designer, poet, novelist, translator and entrepreneur, Morris’ work still has a profound influence on fashion and interiors. This luxury collection celebrates that legacy and features 28 color combinations across six sophisticated designs in roller shades, drapery and roman shades.
Our First Big Game Ad
After months of work, we debuted a commercial during the Big Game in February! It showed throughout the Phoenix Valley and other markets, and you might have even seen it on social media.
When our team brainstormed how to make shopping and installing window coverings easier (and more fun, honestly), we realized buying blinds is kind of like dating. To visualize the concept, we collaborated with Raindrop Agency based in San Diego, CA. We’ll let the commercial below explain the rest.
SelectConnect Bridge Launch
Automation got easier in June with the launch of our first smart bridge, the SelectConnect Bridge, in partnership with Olibra/Bond. You can pair and control your SelectBlinds motorized window coverings* with the bridge and its accompanying Bond Home app.
Enjoy unified control of up to 30 SelectBlinds shades and blinds in a 2,500 sq. foot home via app or voice assistant. If you need to cover a larger area, pair multiple bridges together and operate them at home or remotely. To take full advantage of the app, use its programming and scheduling feature.
*Excludes motorized panel tracks, motorized wood blinds, and top-down bottom-up motorization.
We Turned 20
We celebrated two decades in business in August! It all started back in 2003 with our founder Rick Steele’s quest to find blackout shades for his daughter’s bedroom. Since then, our team has grown to 100+ people, and we’ve moved headquarters, developed new partnerships and more! You can see our full journey here.
SelectBlinds x LEVOLOR® Launch
In September, we announced our partnership with LEVOLOR Inc., an industry leader of innovative window treatments. This collaboration marks our first branded window covering on their website, and the LEVOLOR collection debuted with 12 window coverings across seven categories.
We partnered together because of their alignment to deliver excellent window treatments while prioritizing safety. In addition to the kid-friendly Cordless Lift option, all products in this collection also have GREENGUARD® Gold Certification, ensuring that they contribute to healthier indoor air quality.
