Family Owned and Operated: Blinds Etc.

When it comes to transforming a house into a home, few elements make as immediate an impact as beautifully designed window coverings. For more than four decades, Cathy Gustafson, owner of Blinds Etc., has been helping desert residents elevate their spaces with style, function, and personalized service that stands the test of time.

Cathy’s journey began in the world of design while working as a window covering specialist at Bullock’s. In 1981, recognizing a growing demand for high-quality window treatments, she took a leap of faith and launched her own business in Palm Desert (originally known as Blinds R Us,) now proudly operating as Blinds Etc. What started as a vision fueled by creativity and determination has grown into a trusted local business serving the desert community for more than 45 years.

Today, Blinds Etc. offers a wide variety of shutters, blinds, automation, drapery, upholstery fabrics, bedspreads, rugs, cornice boxes, and more. With an extensive library of options available, homeowners have the freedom to create spaces that feel both functional and uniquely their own.

At the heart of Blinds Etc. is a simple promise: customer satisfaction comes first. From the initial consultation to the final installation, Cathy and her team are committed to making sure every client feels comfortable, informed, and confident in their investment. With competitive pricing, attentive service, and a dedication to quality, it’s no wonder Blinds Etc. has remained a trusted name across the desert for generations.
