Roman blinds offer the best of both worlds. With roman blinds, you get the streamlined look and functionality of a blind and the benefit of expressing your style through a huge selection of fabric choices.
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.

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
