OUR STORY

Every great company begins with a dream — and ours started with one man’s journey across the ocean in pursuit of a better life.

In 1987, Lars Olsson left his home in Sweden and came to the United States to pursue the American Dream. With a toolbox, an eye for detail, and a heart full of determination, he founded Olsson Blind and Shutter on three timeless values: hard work, precision, and genuine care for people.

Drawing from his Scandinavian heritage, Lars built his business on a deep respect for craftsmanship and simplicity — believing that true quality is found in the details. Over time, his honesty, skill, and warm personality earned him the trust of countless homeowners and businesses throughout Central Ohio and beyond. What began as a local, family-run company grew through word of mouth and reputation, leading to projects completed across the Eastern United States. Wherever the work took him, Lars carried the same values of precision, reliability, and personal care that became the hallmark of Olsson Blind and Shutter.

Olsson Blind & Shutters has grown into a trusted local name known for beautiful, functional, and enduring window treatments.

Today, the next generation carries that legacy forward. As employees, Nik and Ann Olsson, Lars’ children, proudly continue the tradition their father began decades ago.

Nik upholds the craft and precision of expert installation, embodying the same attention to detail and hands-on workmanship he learned from his father.

Ann leads the customer experience with warmth, care, and a commitment to personalized service — the qualities that have always defined the Olsson name.

At Olsson Blind and Shutter, the mission remains the same as it was when Lars first started — to help people transform their spaces into places of comfort, style, and lasting value.

Proudly family-run and locally operated in Columbus, Ohio, the Olsson family continues to serve their community with the same dedication, integrity, and personal touch that started it all.
