A Little About Us
Carolina Blinds was opened in 1992 when Wayne Patterson opened the first location in his garage. It wasn’t long before he was able to move into a commercial building, where they still stand today. Proudly owned and operated by Wayne in the same spot since 1994, Carolina Blinds has come to be the number one choice in Asheville for window dressings.

What We Do
At Carolina Blinds, you’re not responsible for much. We’ll bring the samples out, we’ll measure everything, order it, and confirm the delivery is correct before we bring it out. And Wayne or one of his trained staff will install it. There are no outside contractors at Carolina Blinds. And from the moment the order goes in, it’s generally less than three weeks before your blinds or shades come in(8 weeks for shutters).
If you’re looking for light control or a little privacy in your home, you’ve come to the right place. Carolina Blinds is the number one place for blinds in Asheville, and Wayne plans to keep it that way through hard work and customer satisfaction. If you’re looking to dress up your window, come to our showroom and see what we can do for you.
