I was wondering myself how to use the nouns which have different meaning in the plural form on plural sentences, for example the word:
Blind - Blinds
If I want to refer to more than one Blind
, Should I use Blind
or Blinds
?

Plural of blind (verb) is 'blind'. For example,
Thick shrubs blind my downstairs windows
However for something singular you would say 'blinds'. For example,
Detecting glaucoma before it blinds you
But in case of 'Blind' (noun) 'that we use in our homes' you will need to use 'blinds' for the plural, for example:
There are many different kinds of window blinds
