What began as a personal love for thoughtful, beautiful spaces has become a mission: to make homes and businesses buzz with style, comfort, and functionality\u2014one window at a time!\n\nWindows are the soul of a home \u2014 full of light, life, and warmth. And the right window coverings can shape the feeling of a space in the most beautiful ways. Whether it\u2019s letting in the golden morning sun or creating a cozy, quiet evening, adjusting the shades or drawing the drapes has always felt like a little act of care. That simple joy is what inspired me to help others create homes that feel just right \u2014 welcoming, peaceful, and full of life. Window coverings should be more than stylish \u2014 they should enrich the way you live.\n\nBeyond the hive, you\u2019ll find me soaking up the rich art, history, and culture of Central New Jersey, supporting local museums, historical societies, and art festivals. I also love traveling, gardening, home improvement projects, and staying active with pickleball and golf alongside my two amazing young adult children.\n\nAt Bumble Bee Blinds, we believe the right window treatments create a home as sweet as honey\u2014and I can\u2019t wait to help you find the perfect fit!\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                src=\"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/central-jersey-nj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2026\/04\/Richa-Puri_1b.png\"\n                                alt=\"Richa J Puri\"\n                                class=\"w-full object-cover object-top\"\n                                style=\"height: 300px;\" \/>\n                            <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                src=\"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/central-jersey-nj\/wp-content\/themes\/tailwind-boilerplate\/assets\/card-blind.png\"\n                                alt=\"decorative blind\"\n                                class=\"w-full object-cover\"\n                                aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n                                                <div class=\"mt-4 flex-grow\">\n                                                            <h3 class=\"text-h3 !text-white mb-2\">\n                                    Richa J Puri                                <\/h3>\n                                                                                        <p class=\"mt-2 text-sm opacity-90\">\n                                    Co-Owner                                <\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"bg-primary !text-white p-4 flex flex-col h-full cursor-pointer show-member-popup hover:opacity-90 transition-opacity\"\n                        data-member-name=\"Ashish Puri\"\n                        data-member-title=\"Co-owner\"\n                        data-member-bio=\"&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family: &#039;Tahoma&#039;,sans-serif&quot;&gt;With an entrepreneurial spirit and a sharp eye for detail, Ashish Puri brings both passion and precision to Bumble Bee Blinds of Central Jersey.
