Handmade Roman Blinds 

We specialise in the highest quality finish and are the only New Zealand company providing handmade roman blinds with fully integrated track side covers which hide the track. In addition, we fit our blinds outside the window recess. This clever method reduces the flow of the light to a minimum when a blind is down and increases the light to a maximum when a blind is pulled up. It also allows you to use your window sill for displaying photos or keeping plants as the blind comes outside the sill. You will also never see stitches shown on the front of our blinds. Don’t forget trims, beads and boarders as these can make your blind truly unique.

Handmade Curtains

The handmade crafted curtains, with the best materials used like interlining, lining and added blackout if made for the bedrooms, is what makes them pretty special. Expect a free advice on the type, style and finish of your curtains following the assessment your windows and the type of property you live in. Some homes benefit from triple, double or single pleated curtains, some from
a soft single pleat and some require something more decadent like added trim, beaded trim or boarders. This extra attention to detail allows your new window dressing to really impress you, your family and guests.
