Window Patterns in M/I Homes Communities
M/I floorplans in Florida follow the same CBS block and lanai-centered layouts as Lennar and D.R. Horton communities in the same master plans — which means your blind sizes align with the standard production-home chart even though M/I is a distinct brand.
- Active in Tampa Bay, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Central Florida growth corridors
- Bedrooms: ~35" openings (34.5" blinds) on standard plans
- Living areas: 47"–58" windows on open kitchen–family layouts
- Rear lanai slider on most single-family elevations
- Wide great-room glass facing the lanai on larger plans

What new owners buy first
Roller shades are what most new M/I Homes owners choose first — clean fabric lines for open floorplans, patio doors, and primary bedrooms. Blackout and light-filtering fabrics are cut to your exact openings.
Blackout roller with beaded chain — room-darkening option for bedrooms and media rooms.

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 an M/I Homes house?
Most M/I plans in Florida use 34.5" blinds for bedrooms, 46.5" and 57.5" for living areas, and roller shades or wide blinds on lanai-facing picture windows. Measure your lanai slider separately — many Florida M/I plans use 72"–96" wide rear openings.
Does M/I Homes include blinds with the home?
Inclusion varies by community and contract. Many M/I buyers receive bare windows at closing. Check your purchase agreement, then measure before ordering custom-cut blinds.
Do you ship blinds to M/I Homes communities in Florida?
Yes — we ship custom-cut blinds nationwide. Florida orders typically arrive within a few business days depending on carrier service to your ZIP.
What blinds are best for a new construction home?
Roller shades and 2" faux wood blinds are the two most common whole-home choices on new Lennar and D.R. Horton floorplans — rollers for a clean fabric line, faux wood for durable value in every room. Pick one product and color for the full house rather than mixing treatments room to room. Schedule a free measure for a quote with installation included.
