The Home Depot Inc. (Atlanta) has acquired an online retailer selling window coverings.

Blinds.com. (Houston), launched in 1996, sells blinds, shades, drapes and valances, and posts video tutorials and one-on-one video chats with designers on its site.

“The acquisition of Blinds.com positions us well for expansion in the quickly growing online window coverings market,” said Home Depot chairman and ceo Frank Blake. “In addition, their unique sales and service model is one we hope to learn from.”

Blinds.com staff will continue to work for the web retail outlet at its Houston headquarters.
