Blinds for Lennar Homes

Lennar is known for open-concept floorplans and larger living spaces — which changes the window math compared with a basic builder home. Here is what that means for blind sizing, what most owners pick, and how to measure before you order.

Quick answer

Lennar’s open-concept designs lean toward larger living and great-room windows, so you will see proportionally more wide blinds in the 57.5"–70.5" range alongside the usual 34.5" bedroom sizes. For an inside mount, order about ½" under the opening. Lengths are typically 60", 72", or 84" for taller great-room windows.

The window patterns below describe general production-home tendencies, not any builder's proprietary specifications. Always measure your own windows before ordering.

How Lennar Floorplans Affect Window Sizes

Lennar’s "Everything’s Included" approach and open-concept layouts mean more emphasis on great rooms and combined living/dining/kitchen spaces. Those larger spaces tend to carry larger and taller windows, so wide-format blinds show up more often than in entry-level builds.

  • More open-concept great rooms with wide picture windows (often 58"–71")
  • Taller windows in two-story and great-room spaces (84" drops common)
  • Standard 35" bedroom openings still throughout the home
  • Large sliding/stacking patio doors off the main living area (usually left bare or covered with roller shades)

Most Common Blind Sizes

Lennar homes skew toward the wider end of the standard range. After the ~½" inside-mount deduction, the common widths are:

Window openingTypical blind widthCommon room
35"34.5"Bedrooms
58"57.5"Great-room and picture windows
59"58.5"Wide-format living windows
71"70.5"Open-concept great rooms

What Lennar Homeowners Usually Buy

Faux wood is the budget-friendly anchor, but Lennar’s modern, open layouts make roller shades an especially popular pick for the main living spaces:

  • 2" faux wood blinds The value all-rounder for bedrooms and standard windows throughout the home.
  • Roller shades A natural fit for Lennar’s open-concept great rooms and large windows — many owners choose these over traditional blinds in living areas.
  • 1" vinyl mini blinds A budget option for secondary bedrooms while you finish the rest of the home.

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 Lennar home?

Lennar’s open-concept floorplans tend to use larger living-area windows, so expect more wide blinds in the 57.5"–70.5" range plus standard 34.5" bedroom sizes. Lengths are commonly 60", 72", or 84" for taller great-room windows. Measure each opening to confirm.

Does Lennar include blinds with "Everything’s Included"?

Lennar’s "Everything’s Included" packages vary by region and community, and window coverings are not guaranteed to be part of every package. Check your specific purchase agreement — if blinds were not included, the standardized window sizes make them easy to add after closing.

What blinds work best for open-concept living rooms?

For large open-concept windows, roller shades give a clean modern look and handle wide spans well, while 2" faux wood offers a more traditional finished look. For wide windows over about 72", many owners split the span into two blinds for easier operation.

How should I cover a Lennar sliding glass door?

Most homeowners either leave the sliding glass door uncovered or cover it with a roller shade for a clean, modern look — vertical blinds are far more common in apartments than in owner-occupied homes. For very wide openings, a single wide roller or two side-by-side shades keep operation simple.
