Kim Dickson

Blinds & Designs

When you invite someone into your home to help design and transform your living spaces, you want a partner who values your home as much as you do. For Kim Dickson, Owner of Blinds & Designs, treating customers like family isn’t just a business motto—it’s a way of life. As a dedicated local business owner, Kim has spent her career helping homeowners throughout Middle Tennessee elevate their spaces with premium custom window treatments, shades, and shutters.

A Legacy Built on Family and Trust

Kim's roots in this industry go far deeper than her own career; they stretch back across three generations. Over 40 years ago, in 1983, Kim’s grandfather founded Blinds & Designs with a simple but powerful mission: to provide the local community with high-quality window coverings and unparalleled customer care.

Growing up, Kim watched firsthand as her grandfather built lasting relationships with his clients, measuring windows, installing blinds, and leaving every home looking better than he found it. Today, as the proud owner of this thriving, woman-owned business, Kim is absolutely thrilled to keep Blinds & Designs in the family. She carries forward the same dedication to craftsmanship, honesty, and reliable service that her grandfather instilled in the company's foundation.

Expert Design With a Personal Touch

Under Kim's leadership, Blinds & Designs has continued to evolve while staying true to its heritage. Operating out of Franklin, Tennessee, and serving the greater Middle Tennessee area, Kim and her expert team offer everything from classic plantation shutters and custom draperies to cutting-edge motorized shades and smart home integrations.

Kim understands that window treatments are an investment in a home’s beauty, privacy, and energy efficiency. She loves guiding homeowners through the process, taking the stress out of home improvement by providing expert design consultations, precise measurements, and flawless professional installation.

Life on the Farm: Patience, Passion, and Training

When Kim isn’t in the showroom or visiting clients' homes to help them pick the perfect window treatments, you can usually find her outdoors, embracing her other great passion. Recently, she and her family embarked on a brand-new adventure: starting their very own horse farm. A lifelong equestrian enthusiast, Kim has always felt a deep connection to horses, and building this farm from the ground up has been a dream come true.

Currently, the star of the Dickson family farm is a spirited, five-month-old filly that Kim is personally training. Training a young horse requires an immense amount of patience, consistency, empathy, and a gentle but steady hand. Fortunately, Kim’s extensive background with horses has given her the tools she needs to look forward to this exciting new endeavor with confidence. Working with the young filly has been a deeply rewarding process, reminding her daily that the best results come from putting in the time and nurturing growth step by step.

Bridging the Arena and the Showroom

Interestingly, Kim finds that the lessons she learns in the training ring often apply to her work at Blinds & Designs. Just as she builds trust with her filly through clear communication and dependable guidance, she demonstrates reliability with her clients by listening to their needs, offering honest advice, and delivering on her promises. Whether she’s guiding a young horse toward its full potential or helping a homeowner find the perfect motorized honeycomb shades to complete a living room renovation, Kim’s dedication to excellence always shines through.

As she looks to the future, Kim is excited to watch both her new horse farm and her family business continue to grow. She is honored to carry her grandfather's legacy into a new era, ensuring that Blinds & Designs remains Middle Tennessee’s most reliable name in window treatments for decades to come.
