Buying window treatments isn’t just about blocking sunlight or impressing your neighbours during a dinner party. It’s about comfort, privacy, and the way your home feels. The problem is, not all blinds and shutters are good quality, and anyone who’s bought a cheap, one-size-fits-none roller blind online knows this all too well.
At Total Look Blinds, we don’t do flimsy fix-ups or “good enough” fittings. We do proper, custom-made window treatments built for Kiwi homes, Kiwi conditions, and Kiwi standards. We care about doing things properly from the first measure-up to the final install. It’s why homeowners across Auckland and beyond keep coming back.
Walk into any big-box store and you’ll find “custom blinds” that somehow need trimming, folding, or apologising for once you hang them up. With Total Look Blinds, “custom” actually means custom. Every single blind, shutter, and curtain is made to measure, right here in Auckland, by people who know the difference between almost and exactly.
We don’t import containers full of generic sizing and hope for the best. We visit your home, take precise measurements, and build window coverings that are made to fit—not forced to. Whether it’s a tricky bay window, a double slider, or a heritage villa with frames that haven’t seen a spirit level since the '60s, we work around the space instead of asking the space to work around us.
Being locally made also means faster turnaround times, easier communication, and the sort of quality control you don’t get from outsourced production lines. It’s personal, precise, and proudly Kiwi.
If you’ve ever tried to install blinds yourself and ended up with a tilted bracket, uneven roll, or a slow spiral into DIY despair, you already understand the value of experience. Our team has been doing this since 1996. That’s nearly 30 years of measuring, fitting, tweaking, advising, and occasionally fixing things that someone else got wrong.
We don’t just turn up with a tape measure and a few samples. We bring decades of technical knowledge, a truckload of design options, and honest advice about what will actually work for your space. Our consultants know how to balance natural light with privacy, how to choose the right fabric for humidity-prone areas, and how to deal with odd angles, huge panes, or tiny nooks.
In short, we know what we’re doing, and it shows in every finished job. When your blinds glide perfectly, block light properly, and still look sharp five years later, that’s experience at work.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the showroom: cost. Yes, you can buy cheaper blinds online. And yes, they’ll probably arrive in a suspiciously lightweight box that smells faintly of regret. But here’s the reality – cheap blinds tend to break, fade, fray, and fall out of favour faster than you can say “I should’ve just called a professional.”
The initial price tag might be lower, but the long-term cost is usually higher. We’ve replaced plenty of “budget” blinds that lasted less than two years, while our custom-fitted options are still going strong after a decade. Poorly made blinds can also damage your window frames, let in draughts, or come with low-quality cords that are either a safety hazard or a daily annoyance.
When you invest in Total Look Blinds, you’re not just buying blinds. You’re buying longevity, proper function, visual polish, and support if anything ever goes wrong. It’s peace of mind that doesn’t rattle in the breeze or fade in the sun.
We don’t believe in pushing products that don’t suit your needs. Whether you’re into soft sheer curtains for diffused light or blockout blinds for the ultimate privacy, we’ll help you choose the best option based on how you live, not what we feel like selling that day.
Our range includes:
Everything is installed by us, no subcontractors, no guesswork, no disappearing acts. Just solid service from consultation to completion.
You can buy blinds from just about anywhere these days. But if you want blinds that fit properly, last longer than a couple of seasons, and actually look like they were made for your home, then you need a team that does it properly from start to finish.
Total Look Blinds is that team. We’re not chasing trends or churning out cheap fix-ups. We specialise in premium, made-to-measure window treatments that are built for Kiwi homes and lifestyles.
So whether you're renovating, building, or just finally ready to fix those dodgy old roller blinds—talk to Total Look Blinds. We'll measure, make, and install the perfect solution for your space.
