Blinds, Shutters & Awnings in Palm Springs
Custom blinds, shutters, motorized shades and SunPro awnings for Palm Springs homes. Free in-home measure from a local team. Call (760) 206-3080.
Palm Springs homes are made for light. Mid-century houses with walls of glass, clerestory windows and open floor plans that look straight out at the San Jacinto Mountains. That design is a big part of what makes Palm Springs special, and it's also why so many homes here get too hot and too bright by mid-afternoon.
Birkins Blinds & Awnings helps Palm Springs homeowners keep the look and lose the heat. We're a local team based in Palm Desert, and we measure, install and service everything ourselves.
Window treatments that respect the architecture
In a mid-century or modern home, the window treatment should almost disappear. We often recommend:
- Solar shades and roller shades with clean lines that cut glare and heat while keeping the mountain view
- Motorized Somfy shades for clerestory and tall glass that's hard to reach
- Custom shutters for Spanish-style and traditional homes in neighborhoods like Old Las Palmas and Movie Colony
- Faux-wood blinds for bedrooms, offices and casitas
Cool the patio, too
A lot of Palm Springs living happens outside, by the pool or on the patio. A SunPro retractable awning gives you shade when you want it and open sky when you don't. Add exterior solar shades on the west side to block low afternoon sun before it reaches the glass or the patio.
Seasonal homes and vacation rentals
Many Palm Springs homes are second homes or short-term rentals. Motorized shades on a schedule can help protect floors and furniture from sun damage while the house sits empty and keep it looking lived-in. For rentals, durable products and simple controls mean fewer guest calls. We also repair and service existing blinds, shutters and motorized shades.
HOA and historic considerations
If you live in an HOA community or a home with design guidelines, check the rules before adding exterior shades or awnings. We'll provide product and color details you can share for approval.
