Before you hire

Most blinds and curtain businesses in New Zealand measure, make and install, so the quote you compare is for the whole job, not the fabric. Ask whether measuring and installation are included, what the lead time is from order to fitting, and what happens if a made-to-measure blind arrives the wrong size, because custom goods are hard to return. If you have young children, ask for cordless or wand-operated blinds: a mandatory safety standard for corded window coverings was announced in June 2026 and will apply to new products after a one-year transition.

    5★ 902 4★ 678 3★ 305 2★ 79 1★ 106

    Spotlight Wellington stocks blinds and curtaining options at prices that undercut many specialist retailers, and the soft furnishings staff can steer you toward solutions you may not have considered yourself. Staff in that department have drawn specific praise for working through curtaining problems one-on-one rather than pointing customers in a general direction.

    Harrisons Curtains & Blinds pairs a design consultant with a dedicated installer to take clients from fabric selection through to fitting, covering curtains, roller blinds, Roman blinds, wooden shutters, and venetians. Consultants like Aimee and Sylvia work within stated budgets and steer clients toward specific colours and fabrics rather than leaving choices open-ended, which reviewers credit for results that feel considered rather than accidental.

Before you hire a blinds and curtain installer in Wellington

Drawn from 623 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.

What do made-to-measure blinds and curtains typically cost in New Zealand? expand_more

Basic made-to-measure roller blinds run from around $80 to $200 per window for supply and install. Blockout or dual roller blinds sit closer to $150 to $350, while sunscreen rollers for glare control fall in a similar range. Lined curtain pairs for a standard window cost between $200 and $600 installed, with premium fabrics, pinch pleat heading, or extra drop pushing the price higher. Plantation shutters are the most expensive option, from around $800 to $1,500 per window for PVC or composite, with timber costing more. Motorisation adds cost too, sometimes $100 to $300 per blind, but reviewers who chose motorised options were pleased with the result. Measuring and installation are sometimes charged separately, so confirm whether both are included in any quote you receive. Ordering for the whole house at once is worth doing, as volume discounts are common and several Wellington reviewers noted competitive pricing on full-house jobs.

What protects me when I order custom blinds or curtains, and are corded blinds safe? expand_more

The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 covers made-to-measure goods: your blinds must be of acceptable quality, fit for the purpose you described, and match any sample you approved. You cannot return a correctly made custom product because you changed your mind, so confirm measurements, fabric, colour, and control side in writing before paying a deposit. Ask the supplier directly what they do if a blind arrives the wrong size, as a reputable business will remake it at no cost rather than dispute the issue. One reviewer experienced weeks of silence after payment, which shows the deposit-to-delivery phase is where problems tend to emerge, so get a written lead time and a clear payment schedule before committing. On cord safety, on 30 June 2026 the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs announced that New Zealand will make child-safety standards mandatory for newly supplied corded window coverings, to be made under the Fair Trading Act 1986, accepting standards used in Australia, Canada, the European Union, and the United States. As of September 2026 this is announced but not yet in force, with a one-year transition period to follow once regulations are made, applying to newly supplied products only. Eight children have died from cord strangulation in New Zealand since 2008, so where young children live, choose cordless, wand-operated, or motorised blinds, and fit cord cleats or tensioners to any existing corded blinds, in line with MBIE Product Safety guidance.

How do I choose between blinds, curtains and shutters for warmth and light? expand_more

Blockout roller blinds suit bedrooms well for light control, but lined curtains hung close to the wall and fitted with a pelmet do more to reduce heat loss, making them the better insulation upgrade in an older New Zealand home. Sunscreen rollers work well in living areas where you want glare reduced without losing the view, and several reviewers noted a consultant steered them toward this option when they had not considered it themselves. Shutters are the most durable choice and offer good light control through adjustable louvres, but at a significantly higher cost per window, reviewers valued them most where condensation and long-term wear on cord mechanisms were a concern.

What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use? expand_more
  • –Payment received and then communication stops, with delays blamed on suppliers and no proactive updates offered to you.
  • –Lead times slip well past the original estimate and you have to chase the company repeatedly rather than being kept informed.
  • –Blinds or curtains arrive the wrong size or in the wrong fabric, and the business disputes the error rather than remaking at no cost.
  • –No written quote or order confirmation is provided before you pay a deposit, leaving you with no record of what was agreed.
  • –Warranty or after-sales issues are ignored once full payment has been made, with calls and messages going unanswered.
  • –The in-home consultant applies pressure to sign or pay a deposit on the day, before you have had time to check samples in your own light.
What should you ask before ordering blinds or curtains? expand_more
  • –Does the quoted price include measuring, supply, and installation, or are any of those charged separately?
  • –What is the expected lead time from deposit to installation, and what happens if that date slips?
  • –What is the remake policy if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size or in the wrong fabric?
  • –What warranty applies to the operating mechanism separately from the fabric, and how are claims handled after installation?
  • –Are the blinds cordless, wand-operated, or motorised, and if corded, what safety device is supplied to keep cords out of a child's reach?
  • –Can you take full-size fabric samples home to check them in your own light before you confirm the order?
