Blind Inspiration supplies custom blinds across Sydney, professionally measured to suit your windows and fitted by an experienced installer in your home.
Choose from blockout, light-filtering, sunscreen, double, Roman and roller blinds to achieve the right balance of privacy, light control and style. Book a free in-home measure and quote at a time that suits you, with no pressure to buy on the day.
Choose by what each room needs at night and at midday.
One blind type rarely suits an entire home. Light-filtering fabric may leave a bedroom too bright at dawn, while blockout blinds can make a living room feel too dark at noon. In Sydney, north- and west-facing rooms receive strong afternoon sun, making glare, UV exposure and heat important considerations.
The best blinds for Sydney homes are chosen for each window and how the room is used, rather than selected from a catalogue alone. During your free measure and quote, a consultant assesses every window and recommends suitable fabrics. Blockout and double blinds can also provide an additional insulating layer at the glass, helping improve comfort throughout the year.

Our range covers six types of indoor blinds Sydney homes ask us about.All are custom made blinds, measured to each
window, and each type has its own page with the full detail.
Blockout blinds use an opaque coated fabric that stops light passing through the blind itself. They suit bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms, and anyone who sleeps during the day. A little light can still show at the edges, which side channels or a face fit reduce. A face fit mounts the blind over the frame instead of inside it.

Light filtering blinds use a translucent fabric that softens daylight and blurs the view from outside. They suit living areas, kitchens and studies, where you want a bright room with daytime privacy. At night with the lights on, silhouettes may show, so pair them with blockout where full night privacy matters.

Sunscreen fabric is an open weave mesh that cuts glare and heat while keeping your outlook. These blinds suit north and west facing rooms that take the afternoon sun. By day you see out while people outside see little. At night with the lights on the view reverses, so people outside can see in.

Double roller blinds put two fabrics on one double bracket, a single fitting that holds two rollers, one in front of the other. Usually blockout sits behind sunscreen or light filtering fabric. Lower the lighter fabric by day and the blockout at night, for day and night control at one window.

Double blinds layer two window coverings at one window, so you get a day setting and a night setting. Pair a sunscreen roller blind in the reveal with a roman blind on the face of the window, or a roller blind with sheer and blockout curtains in front. Your consultant suggests the pairing that suits the room.

Roman blinds are made from curtain fabric that folds into soft, even pleats as it lifts. They can be lined for light filtering or blockout, so they work in bedrooms as well as formal living rooms. Choose them where you want the softness of a curtain with the neat stack of a blind.

Roller blinds are the mechanism most of the fabrics above sit on: a tube that rolls the fabric up and down. Choose chain control, a spring or a motor. Each roller blind can be recess fitted inside the window frame for a clean line, or face fitted over the frame to cover more of the gap.
View roller blindsBlinds made for each window give you the light, privacy and fit each room needs.
Blockout in bedrooms and nurseries keeps early sun and street light out. You wake to your alarm, not the dawn.
Sunscreen and light filtering fabrics soften strong afternoon sun in living areas without closing the room in.
Every window is measured by a consultant and every blind is made to that measurement. There is no guessing sizes at a shop and no gaps left by off-the-shelf widths.

Size, fabric, operation and fitting set the price, so the only accurate answer to how much blinds cost is a measured quote.
Wider and taller windows need more fabric and a stronger roller.
Fabrics differ in price by weave, coating and colour.
A chain control costs less than a Somfy motor.
Side channels or a headbox, a cover that hides the roller, add to the price.
Two fabrics on one window cost more than one.
For a fuller picture of how these add up, read our guide to what blinds cost in Australia.
The price depends on window size, fabric, how the blind operates and how it is fitted. Every quote is measured to your windows and written, so you know the price before you commit. Our guide to what blinds cost in Australia explains the main price drivers.
Blockout blinds stop light passing through the fabric. Light filtering blinds soften daylight and blur the view from outside. Sunscreen blinds cut glare and heat while keeping your outlook, though the view reverses at night with the lights on.
It depends on the blind type, the fabric and whether the blind is motorised, so your consultant confirms the lead time with your quote. You will know the expected timing before you order, and we book the installation with you once your blinds are ready.
Every blind we supply is custom made to the measurements taken at your home, never cut down from a stock size. Ask your consultant where each blind type is made, and they can tell you at your measure.
Some existing blinds can be fitted with a Somfy motor, depending on the blind system and its condition. Your consultant checks this at the measure. If a retrofit is not practical, new motorised blinds can be made to fit the same window.
