Blinds & Curtains
Compare local blinds & curtains and book online in seconds.
Blinds and curtain businesses measure, supply and install window coverings, from budget rollers to plantation shutters, sheers and motorised systems. No trade licence applies to installation itself, but Australia has mandatory safety standards for corded window coverings because loose cords are a strangulation hazard for young children, and any motorisation hardwired into mains power must be connected by a licensed electrician.
OneBookPlus lets you book a free in-home measure and quote at a time that suits, compare local installers' reviews, and keep quotes and installation dates organised in one place. Confirmed bookings with reminders mean you are not stuck waiting at home for a no-show.

List your business, freeHow to choose a good Blinds Installer
- Insist on a professional in-home measure; window measurements are where DIY orders go expensively wrong.
- Ask whether products are locally made or imported; local manufacture usually means faster turnaround and simpler warranty claims.
- Check corded products comply with Australian child-safety standards, essential in homes with young children.
- Ask what warranty covers the mechanisms, the fabric and the installation workmanship separately.
- Hardwired motorised blinds need a licensed electrician; battery and rechargeable motors avoid the wiring entirely.
- Get itemised quotes so you can compare fabric grades and mechanisms fairly, not just bottom-line totals.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the measure and quote free, and is installation included in the quoted price?
- How do your corded products comply with Australian child-safety standards?
- What is the lead time from deposit to installation?
- What warranty applies to mechanisms, fabric and your installation work?
- For motorised options, is it battery or hardwired, and who does the electrical work?
What does a blinds installer cost in Australia?
Supplied and installed, roller blinds commonly run $150 to $500 per window depending on size and fabric, Roman and venetian blinds somewhat more, and plantation shutters roughly $300 to $600 per square metre. Made-to-measure curtains range from about $300 to well over $1,000 per window, with fabric the biggest variable. A typical three-bedroom home lands anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000. Motorisation adds roughly $300 to $700 per window. Check quotes include GST and installation.
Frequently asked questions
Do blind installers need a licence in Australia?
No licence is required to install blinds, curtains or shutters, so choose on reviews, warranty and workmanship. The exception is electrical work: motorised blinds wired into mains power must be connected by a licensed electrician. Battery and rechargeable motors avoid this entirely. Ask who handles any wiring before you order.
What are the child-safety rules for blind cords?
Australia has mandatory standards for corded internal window coverings, requiring warning labels and installation that keeps cords secured out of children's reach with cleats or tension devices. A professional installer should fit these as standard. Cordless and motorised options remove the hazard altogether and are worth the upgrade in children's rooms.
How long does an order take to arrive and install?
Locally made blinds and shutters typically take two to four weeks from final measure to installation, while imported products, particularly PVC and timber shutters, can run six to twelve weeks. Installation itself is quick, often a few hours for a whole house. Order well before Christmas, when factory shutdowns blow out lead times.
Blinds, curtains or shutters for Australian conditions?
For temperature control, cellular blinds and lined curtains insulate best, cutting summer heat gain and winter loss. Plantation shutters handle harsh coastal light and add resale appeal but cost the most. In humid climates, PVC shutters outlast timber. Many homes mix sheers for daytime privacy with blockout blinds or curtains in bedrooms.
Is professional measurement and installation worth paying for?
Usually, yes. Made-to-measure products are cut to the millimetre and cannot be returned if you measure wrong, an expensive mistake multiplied across a whole house. The measure and quote is generally free, installation is often bundled into the price, and any workmanship problem becomes the installer's job to fix rather than yours.
