Premium Custom Made Blinds Melbourne
A gap of even a centimetre around a window frame is enough to let in glare, cold air and every passing headlight, and it’s the most common complaint we hear from Melbourne homeowners who bought blinds off a standard size chart.
Ravi Blinds fixes that from the start with Custom Blinds Melbourne homes and offices can rely on, cut and fitted to the exact window and not as per the standard size. Block out, sheer view and translucent options are all available, alongside the full range: Roller Blinds, Dual Roller Blinds, Roman Blinds, Vertical Blinds, Venetian Blinds and Blinds Pelmet, supplied and installed as one service.
Every custom made blinds order starts with a measurement of the actual window, and the same team that takes those measurements carries out the install. With close to a decade fitting homes across Melbourne, that made to measure blinds process is one of the things clients mention most when they come back for a second room. Our made to measure blinds are designed to provide a precise fit, better light control and a cleaner finish compared to standard size options.
Below is a rundown of the styles we work with most, so you can see what suits your space before booking a free measure and quote.
Roller Blinds are among the most popular blinds on the market, and a lot of that comes down to the simple single-panel design. With hundreds of fabric options to pick from, matching a room’s existing colours is straightforward, and the roll-up mechanism itself stays low-maintenance no matter which fabric you go with.
Roman Blinds bring a softer, fabric-led look than roller or venetian styles. A good fit for contemporary interiors that still want some texture at the window. Mount them inside the frame for a neat, built-in look, or outside on the wall or architrave when more coverage or a bolder statement is the goal.
Venetian blinds use horizontal slats connected by cords, and tilting those cords is what controls how much light gets into a room. Venetian traders are credited with bringing the concept over from Persia. The very design has stayed one of the most recognisable window treatments since, largely because of how precisely it controls light and privacy.
Vertical Blinds hang from a head rail as a series of slats, connected by a cord that runs through the rail. Pull the cord and the slats rotate to adjust light and privacy, or stack fully to one or both sides when the window needs to open right up, which is why verticals turn up so often on sliding doors and wide glass panels.
Panel Glides use flat fabric panels that hang from individual channels in an overhead track, sliding open and closed horizontally rather than lifting or tilting. A wand controls the movement of the panels, giving a clean, contemporary look that works particularly well across large expanses of glass.
Zebra Blinds, also known as Vision Blinds, combine translucent and blockout properties in a single blind. Alternating fabric bands roll and overlap to shift between the two effects, so a single blind can deliver privacy during the day and full blockout at night. It is a genuinely useful option where fitting two separate blinds isn’t practical.
Honeycomb Blinds have grown in popularity largely because of their energy performance. That’s down to the hexagonal cell structure, which traps still air inside the blind and creates an insulating layer. That means warmer rooms in winter and cooler rooms in summer, on top of the light and privacy control any blind gives you.
Choosing the Right Custom Blinds for Your Home in Melbourne
Seven styles are a lot to choose from, but it usually comes down to two questions.
How the room gets used, and how much light control it actually needs?
- A bedroom generally wants blockout roller blinds or a dual system, since full darkness matters more there than the view out
- A living area often suits venetian or vertical blinds, angling the slats gets you daytime privacy without losing all the light
- Bathrooms and laundries need moisture tolerant materials over fabric, which usually means PVC venetians or panel glides
For anyone weighing up made to measure blinds for Melbourne conditions, exact sizing matters more in this climate than it might elsewhere. Melbourne swings between glare-heavy afternoons and cold mornings, and a poorly fitted blind lets more heat and light through the gaps than most people realise. And that is exactly what a proper measure and install is there to stop.
For homeowners looking for added convenience, motorised blinds Melbourne solutions are also available, making it easier to control light, privacy and comfort with simple automated operation, especially for larger windows and hard-to-reach areas.
