Blinds, Curtains & Shutters Samples at Your Door
Roller, vertical and venetian blinds, custom curtains and plantation shutters — measured and installed at your home across North Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, with the samples brought to you.
Room by Room
One Window Covering Rarely Suits Every Room
The bedroom wants blockout. The sliding door wants something that draws right out of the way. The bathroom wants a finish that shrugs off steam. That’s why we quote room by room at your home — not from a photo, and never one-covering-fits-all.
We supply and install five window coverings across North Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Here’s what each one does best — and an honest guide to picking between them.
01 / Choose Your Covering
Which Window Covering Is Right for Your Room?
Every one of these is custom-made to your window measurements. Pick by room, not by trend — and if you’re not sure, the samples come to you.
Clean & Simple
Roller Blinds
Best for: bedrooms and living areas that want a clean, minimal look — from full blockout to soft light filtering.
- LookMinimal, tailored
- LightBlockout to light-filter
- OperationSmooth & simple
- MadeCustom to your window
Sliders & Wide Windows
Vertical Blinds
Best for: sliding doors and wide windows — the blades draw fully aside like the door itself, and rotate for light control.
- Best onSliding doors, big spans
- LightRotate, draw, or both
- ValueBudget-friendly per m²
- MadeCustom to your opening
Fine Light Control
Venetian Blinds
Best for: rooms where you fine-tune light all day — tilt the slats for privacy without losing the daylight.
- LookCrisp, timeless slats
- LightTilt to the degree
- PrivacySee out, not in
- MadeCustom to your window
Soft & Layered
Curtains
Best for: softening a room — elegant sheers, full blockout drapes, or layered over blinds for the best of both.
- StylesSheers to blockout drapes
- LookSoft, warm, layered
- Pairs withBlinds underneath
- MadeCustom to your window
The Premium Finish
Plantation Shutters
Best for: a built-in, furniture-grade finish that suits modern and traditional homes alike — and the only covering here with factory specs behind it.
- MaterialsTimber or fauxwood (PVC)
- WarrantyMaterials to 20 yr (fauxwood)
- Blades3 sizes, to 114.3mm
- PanelsFixed, hinged, sliding, bi-fold
- Wet areasFauxwood is water resistant
- Bedroom that needs proper blockout?Roller Blinds
- Sliding door or a wide wall of glass?Vertical Blinds
- Want to fine-tune the light all day long?Venetian Blinds
- After softness and warmth, or a layered look?Curtains
- Want a built-in premium finish that adds value?Plantation Shutters
Warranty shown is the manufacturer’s materials warranty for plantation shutters (fauxwood 20 years, timber 5 years, paint 3 years — terms and conditions apply). Blinds and curtain ranges vary by fabric — we’ll walk you through what applies to your picks at the measure.
02 / The Honest Guide
Which Window Covering for Which Room?
Match the covering to the job the room actually does, and you’ll only buy once:
| Your situation | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom, shift worker, nursery | Roller blinds (blockout) | Darkness on demand, clean look |
| Sliding door or wide window span | Vertical blinds | Draws fully aside, rotates for light |
| Home office, kitchen, street-facing rooms | Venetian blinds | Tilt for privacy without losing daylight |
| Living and dining rooms that feel bare | Curtains | Softness and warmth blinds can’t match |
| Bathroom, laundry, humid rooms | Fauxwood plantation shutters | Water resistant, wipe-down louvres |
| Forever home, premium street appeal | Plantation shutters | Built-in finish, materials warranty to 20 yr |
Plenty of homes mix coverings — blockout rollers in the bedrooms, verticals on the slider, shutters up front. We quote it as one job, room by room.
03 / The Spec-Backed One
Plantation Shutters: Timber or Fauxwood?
Our plantation shutters are custom-made through CommandeX, so unlike most window coverings, every claim below comes straight off the factory spec sheet. The choice comes down to two materials:
| Plantation Timber | Fauxwood (PVC) | |
|---|---|---|
| Materials warranty | 5 years | 20 years |
| Paint warranty | 3 years | 3 years |
| Water resistant | Moderate | Yes — suits wet areas |
| Finishes | Painted or stained (grain visible) | Painted whites |
| Sustainably sourced | Yes — plantation forests | No |
Both materials have low thermal conductivity, which helps keep heating and cooling costs down. Then it’s all custom: three blade sizes (63.5mm, the most common 88.9mm, or 114.3mm), fixed, hinged, sliding or bi-fold panels, inside or outside mount, hidden, centre or offset tilt rods — and special shapes beyond the standard rectangle. Panels over 1800mm tall take a midrail. Warranty terms and conditions apply.
04 / Straight Talk
Thinking DIY Blinds? We Checked Their Prices
The online DIY blind stores will courier you a box of blinds and an instruction sheet. You do the measuring, the ladder work and the levelling — and if a measurement is out, the redo is on you.
Here’s the part they don’t advertise: when we compared their prices against our own quotes, the difference was surprisingly small. For about the money you’d spend measuring and fitting it yourself, we measure it, supply it and install it — and if anything’s out, that’s our problem to fix, not yours.
05 / Straight Talk on Cost
What Affects the Price of Blinds, Curtains & Shutters?
Everything is made to measure, so the price follows your windows. What moves it:
- Covering type — blinds are the entry point, curtains sit with their fabric choice, and plantation shutters are the premium end.
- Window size and count — bigger windows use more material, and doing the whole home in one visit works out better per window than one room at a time.
- Fabric and finish choices — blockout versus light-filtering fabrics, sheer versus lined curtains, timber versus fauxwood shutters.
- Fit and access — inside or outside mount, high windows and awkward access change the install side of the quote.
We measure at your home and the quote is a fixed price for your exact windows — no dollar-per-metre guesswork, and no estimate that grows on install day.

Straight Answers
Blinds & Curtains FAQ
Are blinds or curtains better?
Neither wins everywhere — it depends on the room. Blinds give precise light control and an easy-care finish, curtains add softness and warmth that hard coverings can’t match, and many living rooms layer both. We bring samples of each, so you can compare them on your own windows.
What blinds are best for sliding doors?
Vertical blinds are the classic answer — the blades draw fully aside just like the door, and rotate to control light and privacy while it’s closed. Curtains on a wide track are the softer alternative. We’ll measure the opening and show you both options at your free quote.
Should I choose timber or fauxwood plantation shutters?
Pick by room. Fauxwood (PVC) shutters are water resistant with a 20-year materials warranty, which makes them the honest choice for bathrooms, laundries and kitchens. Plantation timber is sustainably sourced and can be stained so the grain shows, with a 5-year materials warranty. Conditions apply to both.
Do you charge for the measure and quote?
No — the measure and quote is free. We come to your home, measure every window, bring the samples with us, and leave you a fixed price for your exact windows. There’s no showroom to visit and no obligation to go ahead.
Is DIY cheaper than having blinds supplied and installed?
Often not by much. When we compared popular online DIY blind prices with our own supply-and-install quotes, the gap was surprisingly small — and DIY still leaves you the measuring, the fitting and the risk of a mis-measured window. With us, a wrong measurement is our problem, not yours.
How long do blinds, curtains or shutters take to install?
Typically 3–4 weeks from deposit to installation, with everything custom-made to our site measurements in between. We’ll confirm the lead time for your coverings when we quote, and we do whole-home jobs in a single install visit wherever we can.
