When Bergen County homeowners start looking for new window treatments, they often begin with a goal in mind: more privacy, better light control, or a simple style refresh.

But once they meet Sonie Skogerson — the owner of Budget Blinds of Paramus, Ridgewood & Westwood — they realize they’re getting more than just blinds, shades, or drapes. They’re getting a personal design partner.

And that’s exactly why so many local families choose her.

Design Expertise That Makes the Difference

Sonie isn’t just a window treatment expert — she’s a fashion-trained designer with an eye for how spaces feel, not just how they function. A graduate of the prestigious Parsons School of Design, she brings her fashion background into every room she walks into. Fabrics, textures, light, mood — they all matter. And Sonie knows how to bring them together effortlessly.

“Sonie has an amazing eye for style. She is super friendly and professional. The whole process was incredibly simple, fast and easy.” — Evan W.

Whether it's a historic home in Ridgewood or a sleek modern space in Montvale, she helps homeowners choose treatments that elevate the entire room — not just cover the windows.

Franchisee of the Year — and for Good Reason

Sonie’s dedication to design, service, and her clients hasn’t just caught the attention of homeowners — it’s been recognized nationally. She was recently named Budget Blinds Franchisee of the Year, a distinction awarded to the top-performing and most respected owner in the entire system.

That honor reflects more than numbers. It speaks to her leadership, creativity, and the way she’s built trust one home — and one beautifully dressed window — at a time.

Local Style, Personal Service

As a Bergen County local herself, Sonie understands the unique styles, needs, and personalities of the neighborhoods she serves. Clients often say she "just gets it."

“She came in and steered me to exactly what I wanted for all of our windows… Her installer was top notch.” — Rachel M.

She knows that the window treatments in a busy family home in Westwood have different needs than those in a quiet home office in Saddle River. And because she’s local, her service is personal. That means:

Free in-home consultations
Honest guidance that’s never pushy
Clean, professional installation from a team that cares

“Can’t say enough wonderful things about Sonie and her team... She listened and supported our ideas without pushing anything on us.” — Kristy M.

Smart Meets Stylish

Today’s homeowners want more than beauty — they want ease. Sonie offers motorized, energy-efficient, and child-safe window treatments that work with your life (and your voice assistant). But here’s the difference: she makes sure they look amazing, too.

Her favorite challenge? Designing solutions that feel high-style without blowing the budget.

“I’m so happy with the results… Absolutely recommend them and would work with them again.” — Susan H.

Award-Winning Trust

Budget Blinds of Paramus, Ridgewood & Westwood has earned multiple “Best of Houzz” awards, and hundreds of five-star reviews mention the same things:

Sonie’s style
Her professionalism
And the “wow” factor clients feel when the install is done

“Installation was seamless… I felt very good about the choices made. I would use them again in a heartbeat.” — Donna G.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all franchise. This is a local, woman-owned business with a designer’s soul — and a reputation for getting it right.
