Blindster is introducing No Tools Blinds and Shades with 3M adhesive mounting brackets that need no tools or fasteners for installation, and leave no holes in the [window frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-window-treatment). The high-quality, durable product line features a patent-pending mounting bracket that's designed to provide a great degree of strength and temperature resistance so that the process of installing blinds and shades at home is easy and non-damaging.

The line includes lightweight, cordless solutions so that mishaps related to kids and pets can be avoided, and there are solutions with [light-filtering and blackout fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/window-treatments) to enhance privacy in the home.

To help the average consumer with the process of assembling a product at home, a variety of manufacturers are creating [tool-free furniture and fixture designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nstel-the-chair) that don't require separate trips to the hardware store or a hired installer.
