Sci-Fi Window Blinds

Direct Blinds is Creating Better Sun-Shielding Options for Nerds

— April 12, 2013 — Art & Design
For those who eat, breath and dream science fiction movies, Direct Blinds' latest spaceship-inspired blueprint window blinds are a great way to shield out the sun and contemplate some of the most schematically beautiful space travel vessel designs ever conceptualized on the big screen.

Featuring prints like Star Trek's USS Enterprise, Boba Fett of Star Wars and the TARDIS from Doctor Who, these nerdy window blinds are great ways to create less gloomy views for those seeking some shade.

The great thing about Direct Blinds' science fiction decor is that these marvelous spaceship blinds come just in time for the latest release in the Star Trek franchise, Star Trek into Darkness, and now you can celebrate space travel in impeccably geeky style.
Trend Themes
1. Science Fiction Inspired Decor - Creating window blinds that have designs inspired by science fiction movies and TV shows could also lead to creating other decor pieces like curtains, wallpapers, and furniture.
2. Nerdy Home Improvements - Adding nerdy decor pieces like these window blinds could inspire more home improvement ideas that cater to specific fandoms.
3. Geeky Sun-shielding Products - Apart from window blinds, creating other sun-shielding products that have designs inspired by science fiction movies and TV shows could be a potential market.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Direct Blinds is a company that specializes in creating unique window blinds, but the potential to partner with companies in the furniture and home decor industry exists.
2. Movie and TV Merchandise - Other movie and TV franchises could also create their own sun-shielding products as merchandise for their fans.
3. Fashion and Apparel - The popularity of science fiction-related fashion could potentially lead to clothing lines or accessory collections featuring similar designs.
