Jordan McCraeNot too long ago, I thought I hit the jackpot when I found these blinds on sale. They promised easy installation, but it wasn’t like that at all. They were pretty shabby, too!
I struggled for hours, drilling holes, battling brackets, and reading instructions that made no sense. By the end of it, my walls resembled Swiss cheese, and the blinds were all crooked.
This experience spurred me to compile a list of companies offering the best blinds in Auckland. With the help of the rest of the Auckland Magazine team, we reached out to several blind companies, explored their offerings, and even interviewed customers.
If you’re also in need of some blinds for your home or office, here are the companies who made it onto our list of the best blinds in Auckland.
| How much does it cost to get blinds in Auckland? Getting blinds in Auckland costs at least 200 NZD per window. The actual price will vary depending on the type of blinds you choose and the company you purchase from. |
How We Chose
1. SunGuard
Address: G/11 Piermark Drive, Rosedale, Auckland 0632, New Zealand
Contact Details: +64 27 217 9560
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday: 8 AM to 4:30 PM
SunGuard is known for its wind and rainproof blinds like the Ziptrak and Café (Omni) blinds. It’s also well-loved for its free, no-obligation quotes.
Their Ziptrak blinds are track-guided, which means they’re super easy to operate. The Café screens are versatile—you can pretty much install them anywhere.
People also love their clear PVC option because it keeps their view unobstructed while blocking the wind.
The standout for us, though, was their selection of automated roller blinds. These babies are built to last, with up to a 10-year warranty covering fabrics. Many customers loved that they could control theirs from their phones.
Most of those we talked to also commended the smooth installation process. They mentioned that the team showed up right on time and cleaned up after themselves,
However, we did hear that the initial consultation could sometimes feel a bit rushed.
Pros
- Free no-obligation quotes
- Wind and rainproof blinds
- Clear PVC option
- Durable automated roller blinds
- Phone control for automated blinds
- Smooth installation process
- Up to 10 year warranty
Cons
- Rushed initial consultation
Thrilled with the end result
“Excellent service and the product is of an excellent quality. We were unsure about which blinds to go with and relied on Alex’s expert advice for colour and light filtering – we’re so glad we did. We are so thrilled with the end result it makes such a great improvement to our home. The installers Jordan and his assistant were also very professional and friendly they added the finishing touches. Highly recommend 👍🏼”

Operating Hours:

Whether you’re after something custom or off-the-shelf, Auckland Blind Specialists has it pretty much covered.
One thing everyone agreed on about this shop was the quality. The UV-coated cedar blinds were especially well-loved. They come in two sizes, 46mm and 60mm, and many felt they were genuinely durable.
Their motorised blinds were also popular among many we spoke to. People like how they are noiseless and commented on their impressive battery life.
Other customers liked that their shutters are hand-finished and coated to resist moisture, cupping, and warping. The easy stain removal was just the cherry on top, particularly for families with kids or pets.
Customers also really loved their zebra blinds. Many loved not having to go through the hassle of rolling them up completely.
However, while most were happy with the staff, a few customers stated that the communication could be improved. They complained about occasional delays in response times.
Pros
- Custom and off-the-shelf blinds
- UV-coated and durable
- Noiseless motorised blinds
- Moisture-resistant shutters
- Free on-site quotation

Cons

I’d definitely recommend these guys looking for high quality blinds
“Sam at Auckland Blind Service offered outstanding service. He provided a superior product and worked with remarkable efficiency. I’d definitely recommend these guys looking for high quality blinds.”
– Jaydeep Patel, Google Reviews
The service we have received has been nothing short of spectacular
“We have just had our new cedar blinds installed by Sam and they look fabulous. More importantly though is the incredible turn around time between Sam coming to measure up and then 5 days later returning to hang the new blinds, amazing ! The service we have received has been nothing short of spectacular and Sam is an engaging, friendly man to deal with and we will be going straight back to Sam and his team when we require any further blinds.
Thank you so much Sam, we are thrilled.”

3. Craft Shed Indoor Blinds Auckland
Address: Unit 1/17A Nikau Road, Ōtāhuhu, Auckland 1062, New Zealand
Contact Details: +64 22 100 2747
Operating Hours: Monday to Saturday 9 AM to 5 PM
Craftshed Blinds is a good choice if you’re interested in quality blinds, variety, and value for money. They offer a range of blinds, from roller to zebra, vertical to Venetian. They even have honeycomb and outdoor options.
Customers told us their homes looked so much better after the switch. Many of the zebra and roller blind users said they found the perfect mix of light and privacy.
What we love most though is that you can get quick and easy approval with no extra costs.
Plus, since they offer factory pricing, you get customisation without a crazy price hike. They also have an interest-free option for up to a year with payments of less than 20 NZD.
While most people we spoke to said the installation was smooth, some complained about staff rushing during initial measurements. This led to wrong measurements and longer installation process.
Pros
- Wide variety of blinds
- Stylish blinds
- Easy approval process
- Interest-free financing option
- Factory pricing with customisation
- Quick installation
Cons
- Occasionally rushes initial measurements
Would recommend them for anyone who needs blinds

Operating Hours:

- Saturday 10 AM to 2 PM
Blindsmith has been around for over 10 years. They have something for every window: roller, Venetian, and vertical. They even have wooden and motor blinds too!
Their PVC Venetian blinds are popular among homeowners. Those we talked to raved about their resiliency and durability. If you’re looking for blinds that can take a beating and still look good, these are them.
If you’re more about blending practicality with aesthetics, the sunscreen roller blinds are the way to go. But if you want complete privacy and light control, the Blockout Roller Blinds offer just that.
We really appreciate that they take care of installing and fitting the blinds for you—no DIY stress. They also offer free measurements and quotes, though they require a 50% deposit upfront.
Additionally, some found their motorised blinds to be a bit finicky. A couple of users said they had to call Blindsmith back to tweak the settings, which was annoying, but the team did resolve it quickly.
Pros
- Durable PVC venetian blinds
- Stylish sunscreen roller blinds
- Affordable wooden venetian blinds
- Professional installation
- Friendly and efficient staff
- Free measurements and quotes
Cons
- Requires 50% upfront deposit
- Finicky motorised blinds
The blinds were well priced
“Blindsmith did an amazing job. They were patient, helpful and always responded to my queries quickly. The blinds were well priced and were received/installed in just 10 days after ordering. I would happily order from them again.”
– E. G. Google Reviews
The whole team were a pleasure to work with
“Very happy with my new venetian blinds. The dark oak timber looks stunning in the sunlight, and they give me the control of privacy and light that I wanted.
The quotation was clear, and Blindsmith met its promise to price match an equivalent product.
The whole team were a pleasure to work with and were precise at installation (like other reviews, the process took approx 2 weeks end-to-end). I found the pricing to be competitive, and the service to be top notch – Thanks !”

Their selection is pretty extensive—roller blinds, Venetian blinds, vertical blinds—you name it. Roller blinds come in various types, like blackout, thermal, dual, and motorised.
People raved about the smooth and straightforward customer service, which we can understand why. All of the staff members we spoke with were patient and clearly explained their interest-free financing options available.
Others loved how easy it was to install the blinds themselves. The instructions they provide are super clear and easy, so you’ll have no issues getting them up.
Many also commented on the 5-year warranty on all blind fabrics, components, and workmanship being another huge bonus.
Despite this, the lead time for receiving the blinds can be a bit lengthy, especially for custom orders.
