Independent retailer notice: Home Builder Blinds is an independent window-treatment retailer and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Highland Homes. “Highland Homes” is a trademark of its respective owner and is referenced here only to describe the kinds of production-built homes our blinds commonly fit. The window patterns below describe general production-home tendencies, not any builder's proprietary specifications. Always measure your own windows before ordering.
Window Patterns in Highland Homes Floorplans
As a regional premium builder, Highland Homes leans toward more architectural detail and larger glass than entry-level production homes. That means more wide-format and tall windows, and more owners choosing upgraded materials to match the finish level of the home.
- Larger living and family-room windows (frequently 58"–71"+)
- Taller windows in two-story and study spaces (84"–96" drops)
- Premium finishes that pair well with real wood blinds and roller shades
- Big sliding/patio openings to outdoor living areas — usually left bare or covered with roller shades
Most Common Blind Sizes
Highland Homes skew wider and taller than average. The common widths after the ~½" inside-mount deduction are:
| Window opening | Typical blind width | Common room |
|---|---|---|
| 35" | 34.5" | Bedrooms |
| 58" | 57.5" | Family and living rooms |
| 71" | 70.5" | Great rooms, picture windows |
| 72" | 71.5" | Wide formal and study windows |

What Highland Homes Owners Usually Buy
Faux wood is the easy budget-friendly starting point, but Highland’s premium finishes lead many owners to roller shades and real wood:
- 2" faux wood blinds — Durable, moisture-resistant, and budget-friendly for bedrooms, kitchens, and baths — a popular first purchase.
- Roller shades — A clean, modern look that pairs well with Highland’s larger windows and upscale finishes.
- 2" real wood blinds — A premium look for formal living and dining rooms that suits Highland’s upscale finishes.
How to Confirm Your Exact Size
The patterns above are a starting point — your specific floorplan and any builder upgrades can shift them, so always measure. Measure each opening's width at the top, middle, and bottom and height at left, center, and right. For an inside mount, report the exact opening and the factory deducts about ½" for clearance; for an outside mount, add 1.5–2" of overlap per side. Our measuring & installation guide has step-by-step instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size blinds do I need for a Highland Homes house?
Highland Homes floorplans tend to use larger windows, so expect more wide blinds in the 57.5"–70.5" range and taller 84"–96" drops alongside standard 34.5" bedroom sizes. Measure each opening to confirm before ordering.
Do you install blinds in Highland Homes communities in DFW?
Yes. We are based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro and serve Highland communities across the area — in most cases we can measure the same day and install within about five days. We also ship nationwide for Highland communities in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.
What blinds match a premium builder home?
Real 2" wood blinds give the most upscale look for formal living and dining spaces, while 2" faux wood is the durable choice for kitchens and baths. Roller shades are a popular modern option for living areas, and many Highland owners mix materials by room to balance look and practicality.
How should I cover the patio doors in my Highland home?
Most homeowners either leave large sliding patio doors uncovered or fit them with roller shades for a clean look that does not clack or catch like vertical blinds. Vertical blinds are far more common in apartments than in owner-occupied homes.
