Why choose custom-made Roman blinds
Expert advice
To get the look and function you want, our consultants guide you through which type of blind, materials, and hanging styles you need, and take accurate measurements.
Crafted with care in New Zealand
Locally made at our workshop in Nelson, our curtain makers pay attention to small details, first checking your fabric is flawless, before carefully measuring, cutting and sewing.
Professional installation
Once your blinds are made, we have a professional team trained to install them to ensure they fit, hang and operate just right. They will also show you best practice for using them.
Features & benefits
Fabric options
We have a huge collection of fabrics to choose from, including exclusive ranges we've handpicked. Our consultants can help you find the right fabric colour, pattern, texture and type to create the perfect roman blind.
Operating systems
Roman blinds are made up of a structure of rods and cords that draw a fold of fabric upwards (when opening). Choose from standard cord operation, cordless motorisation or the continuous chain driven operation system, providing a safer option for homes with young children when used in conjunction with a chain tensioner.
Lining
Enhance the effectiveness of your roman blinds with lining. 3-pass blockout thermal lining offers great insulating properties. Blockout lining reduces natural light and UV rays, and interlining is a layer between the two to enhance your lining. We can also add ‘bumf’ for increased noise reduction.
Fold type
Roman blinds come in several different styles, each offering a different look. They’re flexible, practical and stylish with a range of operating systems available to suit all needs. Our in-home consultants will guide you through your options and help you choose the best style for your home

Frequently asked questions
Roman blinds can be a great idea for adding a touch of elegance to any room. They offer a softer look compared to traditional blinds and can be customised with various fabrics and patterns.
Yes, Roman blinds remain a fashionable choice for window coverings, thanks to their timeless appeal and versatility in complementing various interior styles.
The decision to mount Roman blinds inside or outside the window frame depends on personal preference and the specific dimensions of the window. Mounting them outside the frame increases light blocking while mounting them inside the frame creates a more seamless look. Both options can look great, so it's best to consider the overall aesthetic and functionality.
Roman blinds, especially when mounted inside the window frame, can create a clean and uncluttered look that may visually expand the space. However, their impact on the perception of room size may vary depending on other design elements.
