If your windows are bare or in need of fresh treatments, it’s time to give them a stylish sting. Bumble Bee Blinds of Northern Colorado brings fresh designs, smart features, and honey-sweet charm to every room – proving that window treatments don’t have to be boring; they can be brilliant. From window shades that hum with innovation to custom drapes that create an inviting space, these high-quality and custom treatments are tailored to fit your space and style. Kari Schaneman and her team are transforming homes across the region, giving homeowners plenty to buzz about.
 
Kari is a rare Colorado native, growing up in the Littleton area, while her husband, Nick, is from Southeast Wyoming. A job opportunity brought the Schaneman family to Northern Colorado nearly five years ago. When Nick’s company restructured, they were at a crossroads.
 
“We had always wanted to own our own business, and we wanted to find a way to serve the community,” she detailed. When they learned about Bumble Bee Blinds, the rest fell into place.
 
Kari and Nick opened a Northern Colorado branch in 2024. Over the past two years, Bumble Bee Blinds of Northern Colorado has experienced remarkable growth, establishing itself as a trusted name in custom window treatments. The company has built strong relationships with designers, builders, and homeowners, completing numerous projects that showcase its commitment to quality and style. Through personalized service, innovative solutions, and attention to detail, Bumble Bee Blinds has expanded its reach and reputation, becoming a go-to resource for those seeking to elevate their spaces. This steady growth reflects not only the team’s expertise but also its dedication to delivering exceptional results and creating lasting customer satisfaction.
 
Bumble Bee Blinds offers a wide variety of products and solutions designed to meet virtually any window-treatment need. Among their most popular options are top-down, bottom-up cellular shades, which offer exceptional energy efficiency while providing homeowners with privacy and control over the intense Colorado sun. Roller shades are a top choice for commercial spaces, offices, and modern homes, delivering a sleek and contemporary look. For projects that call for a softer, decorative touch, their designers love creating custom draperies, Roman shades, and tailored top treatments. To elevate their offerings even further, Bumble Bee Blinds recently added Hunter Douglas—the gold standard in window coverings—to their product lineup, ensuring clients have access to the highest quality and most innovative designs available.
 
At Bumble Bee Blinds, every offering is backed by free design consultations, expert installation, and flexible customization, making it easy to find the perfect solution for any space. All products come with a lifetime warranty and a promise of durability and quality.

Our commitment to customer service sets us apart. We go above and beyond to ensure every project is completed with precision and exceeds expectations. “We stand behind our products and installations—always,” says owner Kari Schaneman. “Our customers get 100% satisfaction. We’re proud of that. Our team communicates clearly and delivers on every promise.”

Our design team, led by Ashley Tanner and Jessica Bilevich, helps clients choose the perfect styles, fabrics, and colors to bring their vision to life. With professional design backgrounds, Ashley and Jessica know how to pull a room together beautifully. “Our customers love working with them,” Kari adds. “We bring samples to every home so clients can see and feel their options.” Completing the team are two expert installers who ensure every treatment is perfectly fitted and finished.

To date, Bumble Bee Blinds has outfitted more than 500 homes across Northern Colorado, earning rave reviews and over 60 five-star ratings. “We love what we do,” Kari says. “Blinds make such a big difference in a home, and we love seeing the transformation—so do our clients.”

Bumble Bee Blinds is more than just a locally-owned business. They’re invested in the community. Kari and Nick, and their three kids, live right in the heart of Windsor. They do a lot to give back to the schools, and they’re big supporters of Habitat for Humanity. Their kids – Elly (10), Tanner (8), Lacey (5) – keep them busy with sports and activities.
 
They bring heart, craftsmanship, and style to every home they touch, delivering window coverings that blend beauty with everyday functionality. With their personalized service and commitment to quality, Bumble Bee Blinds proves that the best home transformations come from businesses rooted in the community they serve, and that’s something to buzz about.
