Why Property Managers Are Switching to DIY Window Furnishings

Managing rental properties in Australia's competitive market means balancing tenant satisfaction with cost control. DIY window furnishings from Blinds Downunder offer property managers the perfect solution to enhance property appeal while maintaining healthy margins and quick turnaround times.

Tenant Appeal: Modern, quality DIY window treatments that attract better tenants
Durability: Long-lasting solutions that reduce replacement frequency

Essential DIY Window Furnishings for Rental Properties

Roller Blinds - The Rental Property Standard

Our DIY roller blinds are the backbone of successful rental properties. Available in neutral colours and durable fabrics, they provide privacy and light control while maintaining broad tenant appeal. The simple operation means fewer maintenance calls and longer lifespan.

Blockout Solutions for Bedrooms

See What Our Customers Say

Tanya B.

Exceptional quality Great customer service and easy to order. We received our blind and were absolutely pleased with the colour, quality and ease of installation. We are very happy we chose to order the fully encased roller blind and it has transformed our bedroom which is located at the front. It not only has blocked the lights from cars and the sun it provided a reduction in outside noise.

Robbie Sands

I recently had my roller blinds reskinned by Blinds Downunder and I couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, efficient, and handled with care. The team was friendly, helpful, and responsive to any questions I had along the way. The reskin itself was exactly what I was looking for. The fabric feels high-quality and durable, and the colour matched my space perfectly—it really freshened up the whole room without the cost of replacing the entire blinds system. It’s such a smart, sustainable option, and I’m so glad I went this route. Installation was quick and professional, and everything fitted beautifully. The blinds now look brand new, and the overall finish is seamless. I would absolutely recommend Blinds Downunder to anyone needing a blind reskin or new blinds altogether. Their attention to detail and customer service is top-notch. Great value, great people, and a fantastic result!

Cheryl P.

We had a large quantity of blinds to order, 10 new roller blinds, as well as a fantastic service of being able to purchase 26 new fabric skins for old roller blinds. Although initially nervous about buying online, Blinds Downunder were absolutely brilliant to deal with. Not only did they prove to be much more reasonably priced than local suppliers, they were extremely professional, knowledgable and honest. They were also super responsive with phone conversations, answers and quotes. We are from regional Victoria and everything was delivered on time and with exceptional packaging and directions. I would absolutely not hesitate in recommending Blinds Downunder, not only for their professional knowledge but also for their outstanding customer service. Approximate cost: $4800

Brian S.

Outstanding service and quality I had an order of 5 roller blinds, all different sizes, two types of roll back, and two colours of fittings (only thing the same was the colour/fabric). I received a confirmatory email checking the details (I was very appreciative of this level of service), and the order was delivered in under two weeks - everything as ordered. Fitting was straight forward, and the final product looks fantastic. Why would anyone (with even an ounce of DIY talent - or should that be gram (?)) purchase blinds any other way but through the BD team. Approximate cost: $600

Kelli D.

Large drop down screen We needed to replace a drop down screen, not used as a roller blind as such but it was a bespoke size and our request was a little unusual. We had tried quotes from several other places and most were almost 3x the price or because our request was a little different they never returned emails etc. These guys got back straight away and were not put off by the unusual nature of our job. Ordering online can be scary, but we spoke on the phone to ensure we were both on same page. Quote was timely, delivery eta was correct and follow up customer service to check our install went etc was the best we've experienced in a long time. Highly recommend this company. Approximate cost: $850

Super efficient and really fast customer service, I was really happy with the fabrics and how everything came together to reskin my exisiting hardware Thanks Alan !

Outdoor blinds We had two external Auto awnings that had seen their days. Had a quote from a local mob who mentioned doing a reskin as hardware was OK. Worked out I could possibly do it myself, with a bit of Googling. Found Blinds Downunder on internet search. The online ordering system was easy to navigate and after a quick phone call [answered immediately] to verify a couple of points the order was placed. The price was better than other companies online. The turn around was pretty good considering Melbourne cup day was in the middle. The new skins were a perfect fit. Had both email and phone calls from company post delivery making sure the order was received and all was hunky dory. Highly recommend

Outstanding customer service and quality product Absolutely outstanding customer service, communication, attention to detail, exceptional quality of product, great value, prompt delivery. I have rarely come across a service provider who thinks of every little detail before I have even asked the question and Blinds Downunder had my home improvement project covered from beginning to end. This 10/10 customer centric business was prompt, always in communication, double checked measurements, sought clarity if needed and provided an exceptional quality product. First time we have used them, and will be engaging them again. Our blinds look amazing! Thank you!

Great result I was looking to replace the fabric on our Roman blinds. I came across Blinds Downunder online. I was impressed with their website and tutorials. I contacted with some questions and they were very responsive & helpful. We ended up ordering 2 whole new blinds and 6 replacement fabrics. The whole process was very good, and quality of the delivered goods exceeded our expectations. Very happy with the results and I would definitely recommend them to others.

Have purchased on 2 occasions now and the ordering process is straight forward and easy compared to other companies. Product is great also. The second time one small part was missing (clip to hold down the chain to the window frame) and they posted it out as soon as they found out. Highly recommend.

04/12/2025

Megan L.

The quality of the product is 100%. The customer service is second to none. The advice they provided really helped to make the end product perfect. A pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.

Excellent personal service John assisted my decision making into type of blinds required for a bedroom both over the phone and by referring to his company's web information, including helpful videos. (The house is a holiday house, relatively remote on the Great Ocean Rd in Victoria, with no chance of local custom making : we had to DIY through Blinds Down Under). John also helped expedite the return of one of the blinds to the factory for a small adjustment due to my own error. Many thanks John

Jo J.

Perfect ! We had a quote from a local supplier to match our existing blinds. Found the same one on Blinds Downunder for less than half the cost. Perfect match and fantastic customer service. We are remote, rural North Queensland, and blind arrived quickly. Approximate cost: $350

Very happy with the quality of my new full cassette blockout roller blind. Customer service was also fantastic - I had a few issues with my order and they were rectified immediately.

Georgia R.

Very happy with artscape floret (static) window film!! Have been looking for a pretty patterned static window film available in Australia for many years, and I've finally found it! Had no luck with previous orders (sticky contact, not large format enough, poor quality etc). Super happy with this product! I have ordered more, but installed on my bathroom louvers - privacy factor is good, and it's easy to install, high quality and a pretty pattern! yay! Approximate cost: $140

MARIA F.

Keep your fittings and recover your blinds We saved heaps both environmentally and cost wise by reskinning our blinds. Keep all the fittings and fixtures just putting bew fabric on. They supply excellent quality blockout and see through blinds cut to size with various bottom rail styles. We also bought 3 completely new roller blinds with pelmets which are neat and stylish. All were easy to install. The quality, communication and timing are excellent. It was a pleasure to deal with this company. Instructions available are really good too. Approximate cost: $3000

Darren R

Couldn't be happier I highly recommend Blinds Downunder. Excellent product, easy to follow instructions, and top-notch customer service. Lots of great options, upgrades, colours to choose from. I'll definitely be buying from Blinds Downunder again in the future.

Fantastic service I purchased a new remote from Blinds Downunder .It arrived and I couldnt program it , I called them up after hours and they walked me through the process , Even checking up the following day to makes sure every blind was working and programmed . Its great to see a company who follows up to check on you after the sale . Rob Brisbane

Excellent excellent excellent!!! I custom ordered a double blind online from Blinds Downunder and I'm happy to say the the sales and service was 100 percent. I made an error on my order, and they contacted me to confirm (blinds newbie here). They walked through my order to make sure I'd be happy with the product I envisioned. I truly appreciate this level of service.

13/08/2025

Colin H.

Really happy with the result Our old blinds were stained and looking really sad. Local suppliers refused to supply slats only so we were really happy to find Blinds Downunder on-line. The slats (32 of them) were easy to install and meant we could use all the existing parts except the slats. The slats were exactly the size and colour that I requested on the order form and the material quality is excellent. The cost was also very reasonable so we will definitely be using Blinds Downunder for any future orders. Approximate cost: $250

02/09/2025

Yvonne M.

Fantastic quality, outstanding service, and great value! Love the new slats, they’re fantastic! The quality, sizes, and colours are exactly what I was looking for, they are great value for money, and the service was outstanding! It’s truly been a five-star experience!

Best choice for vertical blind slats and roller blinds I recently replaced all the window coverings in my home with replacement vertical blind slats and new roller blinds from Blinds Downunder, and I’m extremely happy with the results. The old vertical slats were worn and discoloured, but these replacements have completely refreshed the look of my windows. They fit perfectly and look clean and modern. The new roller blinds, which also replaced older ones, operate smoothly and provide excellent light control and privacy. After searching around, I found Blinds Downunder to be one of the very few companies in Australia that provide replacement vertical blind slats, and their prices were the best I could find. What really stood out was their exceptional customer service. From answering my questions promptly to helping me ensure I had the right measurements, the team was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Even delivery to my rural area was handled efficiently, with clear communication every step of the way. Everything arrived well-packaged and was straightforward to install. Overall, a hassle-free experience with great quality products and top-notch service.

Could not be happier. Alan from Blinds Downunder took the job very seriously and to the perfection as he is doing for his own home. From the material / color selection, configuration, and installation. I sometimes feel bad that I don't have enough time to dive into details with Alan. I really appreciate the whole process from the beginning to the completion and would not hesitate to reach out for the next project again. Approximate cost: $9000

Oustanding company I recently purchased custom sized full cassette blockout blinds and standard roller blinds through Blinds Downunder. Their customer service was next level - they took the time to double check everything with me and followed up to make sure I was happy with the products and didn't run into any issues with installation. My order arrived much quicker than expected given these were custom order items, and I was positively surprised with the quality of them. Fit and finish is perfect, and they look and feel much more expensive than they actually cost. I highly recommend Blinds Downunder and will be personally purchasing more from them again in the near future. Great business.

I recently bought from Blind Downunder after looking at various reviews of blind products . After talking to Alan at Blinds Downunder in Victoria and discussing my needs for two external motorised 240v blinds for my carport and caravan housing (another carport} i settled on two (240v ) roller blinds with remote control 1 x straight drop and 1 x guide rod drop using Stradbroke sunscreen mesh . I found Alan very helpfull in making sure all measurements were right and supplying my DIY installation instructions , he always returned my calls if i had any queries or problems . I was so impressed with final result i ordered 2 x reskins to match for existing external roller blinds which i found very easy to replace . Thank you Alan for all your help

Blind replacement material is easy to install and much cheaper I ordered thermal roller blind material and used it to replace my old worn blind successfully. The cut was great. It was easy to apply double sided tape, plastic coated flat tape (like biase binding or hemming material) and then slot it into the metal blind roll. It worked out to be significantly cheaper and less wasteful than replacing the whole blind. Now I know how easy it is, I'll be ordering more soon to replace another blind. Approximate cost: $126

I specifically choose blinds down under as they offered a full cassette (block out) blind. I needed this particular blind as it is located near a fireplace and required to maintain safety clearances . I then ordered a series of face fitted and recess fitted rollers for the rest of the house. After the blinds arrived i completed the installation myself. The recess blinds were very difficult to fit, but i got there in the end and the face fitted blinds - the aluminum facia was not going together. On Saturday night at around 7pm i emailed blinds downunder for some confirmation i was sent the right parts for the face fitted blinds. These guys were amazing.... within 20 mins i had a reply and we went back and forth for a good hour till i had installed the face fitted blinds. When we spoke about the recess fitted blinds, we realized they could have been a tad shorter... well after confirming measurements, blinds online charged a flat rate of $80 (which included shipping out and back) to have the blinds cut down. Got those blinds back, fitted without issue. During all this one part of the full cassette blind was not delivered. Again.. these guys were great.. they followed up with Auspost and then shipped me a new set of parts free of charge. I would definitely recommend these guys. Service was great, product is great and price is highly competitive. Great work Blinds down under and thanks again.

Wow! Thanks for the blinds! They were so easy to install on my own — even for a 68yr old female. Fabulous customer service too.

Excellent Customer Service The customer service team was helpful in guiding me through the product options and made it easier to choose what worked best for my spaces. They also provided some useful advice when it came to installation. Would recommend if you're looking for a straightforward, supportive process.

Great and speedy Easy process and was able to communicate with them effectively via email and requested a rush with the order. A little pricey but that’s on us for leaving it last minute.

Lisa Smith

Was incredibly helpful with my order of pelmets to fit two double roller blinds that had been supplied from another online store. Spoke with me at length to help make sure I had the right measurements for the order, and again with the installation when they arrived. Very happy with the resulting blinds, thankyou very much! Pic shows the completed blinds. The fabric between blind and pelmet matches despite being supplied by different companies six months apart, which I am thankful for. These are reverse roll double blinds, I picked these over standard roll as I push my monitors back into the window space as close to the glass as possible.

We bought fabric to reskin existing blinds for all our irregularly sized apartment windows. It was a much more affordable option than new blinds and it was surprisingly easy to DIY.

Michael C

A+ service for budget price I couldn’t be happier with finding blinds down under. We had the bottom bar come off our blinds that were supplied and installed from another company and were approx 5 years old. Contacted them and after paying $100 for them to “service” the blinds and not be successful in fixing them they quoted a few hundred to fix 1 blind. There were 4 that were failing. After contacting blinds down under they were able to suppply the components for all 4 blinds for a fraction of the price we were quoted to fix 1. Blinds down under were even proactive in offering remote assistance if there were any problems with the install (there weren’t, it was an easy process with some YouTube guidance) I will happily recommend to family and friends and will be coming back if we have any future window covering requirements!

Karen B

Fantastic experience! I had tried many local companies in NSW and could not find anyone to help me purchase pelmets, then by luck i found Blinds Downunder and the experience could not have been better. They not only guided me through the measurement process but checked in to keep me up to date and finally to make sure everything had gone smoothly. My pelmets have allowed me to finish off the blinds perfectly. Thank you! I will definitely use word of mouth to support your business.

I first chose Blinds Downunder because they could supply only the blockout skin for one of our existing blinds. I then needed help with buying another blockout blind, but to be installed under the existing privacy blind. Alan has been great, responsive and knowledgeable. I sent him the photos of the blinds, and he recommended the right solution (32mm tube), which I proceeded to order.

The best. I'm a repeat customer of Blinds Downunder and once again, Allen delivered amazing service and unbeatable prices. I bought 7 blockout blinds and curtains, and even without seeing swatches, we nailed the look. If you're doing a self-install or have a handyman, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

This is our second time purchasing from Blinds Downunder. We contacted Blinds Downunder to supply our blind components for a custom project. Their service and product advice was market leading and pricing unbeatable. We would highly recommend Blinds Downunder to friends and family.

This was our second purchase with Blinds Downunder, and we are so happy with the end result! We love our panel glide blind! The original one sadly had warped tracking, but Alan got straight onto it, and it was sorted without any hesitation. The customer service has been fabulous, and we're really happy with the quality. It was also simple to install. We are one very happy customer and would highly recommend!

Michelle Lipscombe

Quality blinds, great service I came in knowing nothing about blinds and instead of reading up beforehand, I bombarded them with questions—lots of them! The team was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and never made me feel like a hassle. Their responses were quick, clear, and super helpful, making the whole process easy and stress-free. If you want great service along with quality blinds, I highly recommend them!

29/03/2025

Ananda Sutjijoso

We chose Blinds Downunder mainly because of Alan, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Despite being a DIY service, Alan was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process—from measurements to fabric selection and even installation. He’s very knowledgeable, and we could fully trust his recommendations for the best outcome. His communication was excellent, and he was always responsive and made himself available whenever we need some help. We ordered during the festive period when factories aren't available for ordering, but Alan always kept us up to date, making us feel confident and well-informed. The end result is stunning—the blinds and curtains are absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Alan!

25/01/2025

Alison C

A1 customer service We order pelmets and as much as they weren't as retrofit as we'd have liked, and we had to make some adjustments, Alan's customer service was outstanding! He answered every one of my 1000 questions and helped us through the whole process! It was almost impossible to find any company who would just do pelmets, that wouldn't cost an absolute bomb! Their prices are incredibly reasonable! Very happy with the end result!

13/03/2025

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Finding Blinds Downunder was such a gift! Firstly, their unique concept of helping their customers fit blinds in their homes in an efficient and affordable manner, was exactly what I was looking for. Over and above this, their service is excellent too. They care about their clients and are so helpful. They went above and beyond for me. Our blinds look beautiful. Thank you so very much!

Great product Very happy with the product, we had the full blackout cassette. Measurements were easy, and the blind came made to fit. Easy instructions to follow, and the zero gravity blind is great.

I needed to reskin a large custom sized roller blind in my living room. The prices were reasonable, options wide ranging, and transparent quality info, Blindsdownunder provided clear professional guidance directly from their website and made my first DIY reskin possible. It takes a bit of time for the blind fabric to be cut and delivered (E2E 4-5 weeks) but the wait was worth it. We are really enjoying our new blinds!

Exceptional customer service We ordered blinds to be delivered to WA. The customer service started when I was contacted to check measurements, and given advice in relation to our windows and how to measure them. They also advised on colours, roller covering/style and pelmet. This made sure the blinds were custom made accurately by the factory. After everything arrived we had contact throughout the day by email, text and phone to help us self-install. Without this help we would likely have not ordered correctly, and struggled to install.

14/01/2025

Pierre B.

Sydney, NSW Helped at all stages, extraordinary service and follow up We reskinned our large window blinds (in NSW) for about $2000 worth of fabric and wanted a perfect result. It’s when things don’t go to plan that you see if a business is still there to help you. Blinds Downunder’s Alan was amazingly helpful, he genuinely had our best interest at heart. Despite costing him time and money, Alan was helping until we got the perfect result. I highly recommend this business. Approximate cost: $2000

Blind re-skins I utilized blinds down under for a fabric reskin on some of my living room blinds. The order process was super easy, however I had some issues with delivery. Blinds Downunder was nothing but helpful and supportive during these issues, contacting the delivery partner on my behalf. I eventually received the product and was very impressed with the quality and ease of install. Would highly recommend.

Aliza Syed

What an exceptional experience we had with Alan, from our initial inquiry all the way through to delivery. The level of customer service is beyond expectations and quality and functionality of the blinds is second to none. We purchased cassette blackouts, motorized and they are working a charm! We’re also ordering all our sheers and blackout curtains, so looking forward to that! Highly highly recommend this company !!

I had a mishap with a roman blind fabric and wanted to avoid the cost and aesthetic downgrade of replacing with some other window coverings. A search led me to Alan and he helped me source the fabric, guiding me with measuring dimensions and understanding more about my particular setup. He even found instructions specific to my roman blind which were really helpful in restoring the look to its former glory.

Great company I have no hesitation in recommending Blinds Down Under. The most helpful professional business I have ever dealt with in my 45 years in the construction industry. Easy to install, great product. Best customer service. I have referred my family, friends and work associates. Thanks Alan, we will do business with you again for sure.

After going through a number of blind companies I still didn't have confidence to pick one until I spoke to Alan of Blinds Downunder. Alan genuinely care to listen to what I need and my budget, gave his best advice and worked towards giving me great looking quality blinds and at great prices too. His service is very professional, kept me updated and timely installation. Will definitely recommend Blinds Downunder to all my family and friends.

Blinds Downunder are incredible. We considered a lot of blind companies but in terms of quality and professional care Blinds Downunder are miles ahead. Having everything made is Australia brings a different selection of materials than most can supply. They also have automation options which work with Google, Alexa and Apple HomeKit both battery and wired. You’d like they’d be more expensive but to the contrary they came in as best value too. It’s rarely I write reviews online but I’m so impressed and happy with our blinds that I’d like others to benefit from such a great Aussie company and crew!

I would definitely recommend Blinds Downunder! Alan was super helpful. I had no idea what type of blinds I would like in my townhouse and he helped me decide on the blinds, what types of fabric and the hardest part picking the colour. Great communication, keeping me updated. No job was too difficult. Amazing price too!

Alan did an amazing job installing blinds for my elderly parents. He was a pleasure to deal with, professional, polite, respectfully took his boots off at the front door, cleaned up and took away packaging. I would get him back for another job anytime.

Alan of Blinds Downunder provided outstanding service. Wonderful communication keeping me updated. The job was tricky and completed to the highest standard. Alan was respectful of my property and completed a thorough clean up on completion of the job. All of this for an incredibly reasonable price. I highly recommend Alan and Blinds Downunder.

Blinds Downunder supplied our curtains. We simply measured, ordered and installed the pelmet and curtains. Our room feels like a luxury hotel and the curtains finished off our renovation. They were professional, excellent quality and on time! Thanks @blindsdownunder

Blinds Downunder were an excellent blind company to work with. They were very thorough when measuring and planning with us, paying attention to detail. We appreciated Alan's caring and kind manner and felt confident with his skills at every stage of the process. Thanks to everyone involved, we are very happy with the professional job done. :)

Blinds Downunder has amazing customer service and they were the only company who were able to deliver blinds to our business within a tight timeframe during a lockdown. They took under a week where other businesses were going to take several weeks.

I have recently fitted blinds from Blinds Downunder's. I installed outdoor awnings and a couple of indoor roller blinds. Both types of blinds were easy to fit and of a very high quality. Thanks for supplying such a nice product and great customer service.

We love our new blinds from Blinds Downunder. They were very proffesional from the first phone call, to the final completion of our blinds. Alan suggested the use of battery motors in a few high traffic areas and we love them. They look amazing and are operated of a remote control without the need for 240V power. We had a few other companies who came to quote and Alan was the only one who suggested some great design ideas which has worked out perfect. I would highly recommend.

I had a very good experience with Alan and Blinds down Under right from the first phone call till installation . Due to some measurement issue I had not provided the accurate measurements of my window and the blinds were custom made to the size I had given and was slightly large for the window .However Alan make a point to organise and cut the blinds to look perfect for my window without any extra charges . The blind looks perfect and good quality .I am sure to engage Blinds down Under for any future work for blinds and curtains for my house any would recommend others as a trusted company for blind services

I was planning to replace my existing window blinds and was tossing between getting them from spotlight or custom make them .Alan was great in guiding me especially with quality difference and value and at the end I decided to go with the custom blinds. The finish and look of the product was remarkable and the house looks great from inside and even better from the outside. The cost also was very reasonable and I will gladly recommend the business to anyone.

I had the blind installed by another company, but it never worked well. And after a while it did not work at all anymore. It was hard to find someone who could fix the blind for me. But then I was lucky to come in contact with Alan from Blinds Downunder. Last Sunday he came and managed to make the blind working again. He did not give up until he found a way. He offered his service if needed in the future. I would recommend his service to anyone. Very good quality and very cost efficient.

Christopher Daglis

Quality, Service, Price, Communication - All were perfect! We measured what we needed and spoke with Alan multiple times as he wanted everything to be right. We had the blinds supplied on time and fitting was actually really simple. I would recommend using this service 100%. Thanks for your effort to make this a great experience Alan.

Leigh Garde

From the first contact Alan made the process of choosing and installing my external blinds easy. Of the four companies who responded to my job listing, Alanwas the only supplier who rang me to discuss my job before coming out to quote. His quote was very competitive and he identified factors I hadn't considered when selecting the type and colour of my blinds, and went out of his way to source sample books for me to select colours from. Installation was done well and I am delighted with the result. I have no hesitation in recommending Blinds Downunder.

Zoem931

Alan hands down is the best online supplier I’ve dealt with and I’ve been sourcing haberdashery online for about 10 years. The made to measure pelmet was well made and quality and fitted perfectly. I would recommend Blinds Downunder to anybody and are likely to use them again should I need further blinds/pelmets. Alan was attentive to detail, confirming my order and following the process through to delivery and confirming I was happy with the end product. A+++

Great customer service from the very beginning to very end. Great selection of fabrics and optional extras that other companies didn't provide. Love the pelmets and no knock bottom rail on my blinds. Blinds delivered quickly. Thank you, we will be back when we replace the old blinds in other rooms.

Blinds Downunder are absolutely AMAZING! They really went above and beyond to measure, quote and fit our amazing electronic outdoor Blinds. They are such high quality and really transform our entire area, keeping the rain and wind out and blocking all of the harshness of the sun whilst still being transparent. We can operate them by remote or even through an app on our phone from anywhere in the world. After looking around Blinds Downunder were by far the best priced and quality and service are elite. I highly recommend them. Don't normally write reviews but was so happy, just had to recommend them so that others know.

Shaung195

Simply the best customer service I've had. Alan not only saved me money by telling me about re skinning my existing blinds (keeping the hardware and just replacing the fabric, of which I knew nothing about until he enlightened me). The follow up and communication was over and above. I'm glad I stumbled across word of mouth and all the reviews here were the reason I went with Blinds Downunder. If only everyone I dealt with was as Professional and Courteous as Alan. If you want the best service and a great quality product get in touch with Alan.

I had been finding suppliers who could customise my roller blinds as I wanted them to be, but couldn't find EXCEPT Blinds Downunder. Alan has been superb with us from scratch till the finished product on our windows. A very generous, humble and professional person and everyone who is reading this review must give a chance to BD. I gave measurements to BD, and being an engineer I wanted to have my products as per measurements. BD successfully manufactured my blinds with less than a millimeter tolerance, which is just awesome I would say. All blinds are a perfect fit (face fit) on my windows.

Roccom187

I highly recommend. I had a fantastic experience using Blinds Downunder on my renovation. I was offsite away from my home and their communication was excellent. Fast service, highly competitive pricing and great advice. Online blind companies lack expert help and that’s what Blinds Downunder do exceptionally well.

Thank you for our blinds they are excellent!! The curtains we had were old and leaving white powder over the windows and window sills. These blinds we purchased from Blinds Downunder to replace the curtains fit perfect and block the street lights out at night to make the room a lot darker. They also help to block the light out during the day when you need that nap. The material is strong and the sleek design makes them look flush. The wife and kids are very happy, Thank you!!!

Jessica Costantino

We moved into a new house with roller blinds that were stained and looking very sad. Instead of trying to just upsell us, Alan offered an option to keep the hardware but replace the old material with new which was significantly more cost effective! The whole process from initial quoting to picking up the blinds, changing them and returning took only 1 month. We are very happy with how efficient the whole process was, thanks Alan!

Initially I only purchased a lot of samples from their website to try and find the perfect colour/material blinds for my new home, but Alan took the initiative to reach out personally to make sure I had all the assistance I needed with choosing the best fabric. He was very friendly, professional, and always made sure to keep in touch for the entire process. He also ensured every blind was programmed perfectly to each window and I couldn't be happier with his work. Excellent options for fabrics and incredibly friendly service, and a local business to boot! Definitely worth going with Blinds Downunder for peace of mind.

Alan was a pleasure to work with, always prompt and helpful. I had a request to work out a solution for something that would cover a large whiteboard in an office for when the room camera was on for video conferencing and had the idea for a custom blind (with custom artwork printed on it) so reached out to Blinds Downunder. The blind is perfect and acts as both a privacy screen for the contents on the whiteboard if still needed after the video call, but also acts as branded back-drop for the on camera person without them having to add an artificial background. The chain-free zero gravity mechanism makes it easy to use and the slim pelmet is not too intrusive. We did arrange for install ourselves as we are in Sydney but when we had a slight problem Alan was able to talk us through it easily. Great job all around, would 100% recommend. Approximate cost: $1000

I had an non-standard requirement (double pelmets for existing blinds from a different supplier) and Alan was 100% there for me right from the initial inquiry to samples to the final orders. Wow - so refreshing to get this level of attention and support. The pelmets are exactly what I needed, perfect! and the support and help with ideas and solutions was very reassuring. I can completely recommend Blinds Down under without hesitation.

Because quite frankly Blinds Downunders service and communication level is beyond what you will expect in a trade. No failure to turn up , no not communicating, really nice people with top class ethics and that’s not even including they are great at their job and really keen to do their best. May well be the best in Melbourne!

Order a couple of pelmets from them. Sent photos through email and they were super prompt at getting back to us and suggesting the right product. Super easy to order. Once arrived we had alittle bit of trouble with the install. But again sent an email with photos and they got back to us super fast and it was easy from there! Love these guys, such good customer service and products. Highly recommend!

Great work done professionally with dedication I used this company for the mechanism repair of a 2.8-meter-wide roller blind. Allan after receiving the parts came in to resolve the issue with the roman blind which he fixed in very short time. There were other smaller roman blinds with some problems which he investigated and provided solutions. Allan spent nearly an hour on three other roman blinds which were fixed to great extent but charged me only for fixing the large blind. When I got the invoice, I wanted to pay for the extra work he had done but he declined to accept the extra amount.I also found that they can make blind and we can get new blinds made through this outfit. Considering his professionalism, honesty and punctuality, I have no hesitation in recommending him for the good work he does.

Sandi D.

Easy from start to end Alan was so helpful - gave me all the info and support I needed. Process was quick and so easy, and great cost. Pelmet arrived quickly and was easy to put up. Looks great. Was an awkward size too - just over 3m. Makes a huge difference to the blinds. Thanks Alan! ️

Can’t thank Alan enough for his amazing dedication to making our difficult project a great success. While we were specifying the job Alans patience with my detailed and constant questions was unwavering. We used the smart motors on double rollers with pelmets so there was a lot to consider. Alan even customised the pelmet for us minimising the opening to give a super clean look. We weren’t comfortable to install ourselves so Alan offered a full service install as we are nearby to him in Melbourne. The install proved way more difficult than expected with a variety of solutions required to deal with the different wall constructions present. Alan persisted until he achieved a truly impressive finish. From sale to post install support I sincerely can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Blinds Downunder. Alan is truly a rare kind of service provider. Can’t thank you enough.

Exceptional customer service and value for money Blinds Downunder's customer service is exceptional. Allen provided expert guidance for my DIY roller blind project for a high-end rental. He provided solutions tailored to my needs and supported me by phone from Melbourne. The previous reviews don’t lie – he is worth more than 5 stars. Not only did Blinds Downunder demonstrate the next level in customer care, but I found them unbeatable value for money with top-notch products and quality. Very happy!!!

Excellent service Alan and his team are truly outstanding! I searched for ages trying to find a company that would sell me just blind fabric (skins).They all wanted to charge me a fortune to change the skins themselves or sell me new blinds. Alan said, sure we've never sold just skins but we'll give it a go. They double checked I had all my measurements correct and when they thought I might have missed something they called to ask me. They sent me extra items for free to help ensure it all went as well as it could for me. They watching over the distribution chain and ensuring everything was delivered in full. I have never in my life had such outstanding customer service. Thank you so much! If you can dismantle your blind and put it back together, you are probably also capable of changing your your own blinds fabric.

Excellent diy experience! I had a great experience with Blinds Downunder while ordering replacement fabric skins for my blinds. Most companies were hesitant to sell just the skins, but Alan was incredibly helpful right from the start. He ensured all my measurements were accurate and the entire process was smooth and efficient. Their proactive customer service and delivery were impressive, making this DIY project easy and cost-effective. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to refresh their blinds! Approximate cost: $500

Outstanding If you can use a tape measure and a drill, you'll save yourself a bunch of money going DIY with Blinds Downunder. The installation process is quite easy and once you've done one, the remaining blinds are a breeze to put up. They offer great product and material choices, and the online ordering process is user friendly. This is my second time purchasing from BD and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for new/replacement blinds. Approximate cost: $1300

Great product and service Definitely recommend using Blinds Downunder for your blinds. From the delivery of fabric samples to delivery of the reskinned blinds - the service was great and efficient. Much more affordable than new blinds and without the hassling of measuring and refitting.

I recently purchased roller blinds after extensive research, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The fabric I chose was perfect, exactly what I was looking for, and their prices and service were superior to other competitors. Throughout the entire process, the team was incredibly responsive, always answering my questions promptly and making sure I felt confident and comfortable with the information I received. Their exceptional customer service truly stood out, and I felt valued every step of the way. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality roller blinds with outstanding service. I will definitely be purchasing more from them in the future!
