FAQs
Can I install Smartwings blinds myself?
Yes! They are specifically designed for a DIY installation. This is actually a great way to save money, since you don't need to hire a professional. Smartwings provides detailed video tutorials and measurement guides on their site to walk you through the whole process, from measuring your window frame to mounting the final shade.
What smart home systems do Smartwings work with?
Smartwings blinds are compatible with all the major players. You can get versions that work perfectly with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and even Apple HomeKit. You can also just control them with the included remote or their own smartphone app.
What’s the Smartwings return policy?
Because every single blind is custom-made to your exact window measurements, they generally can't be returned. This is standard for any made-to-measure company. Our best advice is to follow their measuring guides very carefully, measure twice, order once!
Smartwings Saving Tips
Order Free Fabric Samples: This isn't a direct discount, but it's the most important money-saving tip. Computer monitors can be terrible at showing true-to-life colours. The last thing you want is to spend hundreds (or thousands) on custom-made blinds only to find the "Stone Grey" you ordered looks purple in your living room. Since they're custom, returns are a no-go. Smartwings will send you free samples so you can see the exact colour and texture in your own home's lighting. This step is free and prevents a very costly mistake.
Time Your Purchase Around a Seasonal Sales: This is a big purchase, so don't be afraid to time it right. Smartwings runs its best sales of the year around major holidays. We're talking Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Labor Day, and Memorial Day. If you're not in a huge rush, waiting for one of these events can easily save you 20-30% or more on a big order.
Embrace the DIY: The real saving with Smartwings is avoiding the professional installer. The entire business is built for DIY and not doing it yourself means paying a huge premium for someone to come to your house, measure, and install. By handling the easy measurement and 15-minute installation yourself, you're already cutting out the biggest cost.
Check for Buy More, Save More: If you're upgrading multiple rooms, don't do it one window at a time. It's very common for Smartwings to run tiered promotions like "Save 10% on 3+ blinds" or "Save 15% on 5+ blinds." It's almost always cheaper to place one large order, so try to plan your entire project in one go and around a sale period.

How we source coupon codes
The coupons you’ll find on Tom’s Guide have been sourced by our dedicated coupons team, who use the web, our relationships with retailers, & our affiliate networks to find the latest codes. The offers on each coupon page are updated every few days to ensure we feature the freshest ways to save, and our commercial team (based in London) also sources exclusive codes and sales info directly from some of the biggest retailers around.
How we test coupon codes
All the coupon codes we list on our pages have been tested by our deals & offers teams to check they work as intended before they’ve been uploaded. You’ll find a wide range of coupons on Tom’s Guide, including free shipping offers, student discounts, and savings on various kinds of products.
To ensure that all listed codes are available to use, we don’t include any one-time use or user-specific coupons. We also provide as much information as we can to keep things as clear as possible - any expiry dates or terms & conditions will be listed alongside the code. Look for the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text - you’ll be able to click this to expand this section for more details.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
We take care to only list tried & tested coupons on our pages, so all codes should be active and confer the listed discount or deal. However, although we keep up to date with expiry dates and any terms & conditions, sometimes retailers change these before we can update our pages.
Should a coupon fail to work as expected, check you meet any listed requirements. These can include minimum spends, multibuy offers, or product-specific promotions (i.e. 10% off selected tablets). You can view all associated requirements by clicking “View terms and conditions” below your code.
If this does not solve your issue, you can contact our customer service team by emailing coupons.tomsguide@futurenet.com. Make sure to let us know which coupon you were trying to use and which page this was listed on, and we’ll be in touch to help as soon as possible.
How we make money
Tom’s Guide makes money from coupons through a commission-based model. We have agreements in place with each retailer on our site - for every purchase made using one of our coupons or deals, we earn a small percentage of the order total back in commission.
Thanks to this model, we can save our customers money without charging them a thing. You won’t pay a penny to get the discounts listed on our pages, so whichever code or deal you choose, you’ll get exactly what it says on the tin.
