BLINDS MOSMAN
Custom blinds made for Mosman homes
From Federation homes off Military Road to apartments looking over Balmoral and the harbour, Mosman windows vary a lot. Tall timber sashes, wide sliding doors, bay windows and floor-to-ceiling glass all need a different kind of blind.
We make every blind to the exact size of your window and fit it ourselves. We measure in your home, bring samples so you can see the fabric or slat in your own light, and give you a fixed price before anything is made.

BY HOME TYPE
Blinds for every type of Mosman home
Federation and heritage homes
Timber sashes and decorative architraves suit blinds that sit neatly inside the recess. Roman blinds in a linen-look fabric or timber venetians keep the character of the room and leave the joinery on show.
Harbour-view apartments
Sunscreen roller blinds cut glare off the water while you can still see out. A blockout roller behind it on a double bracket covers the bedroom at night. Motorised rollers suit tall glass and corner windows.
Modern homes and new builds
Slim roller blinds recessed into a pelmet give a clean line. External venetians on north and west-facing glass stop the heat before it reaches the window. Plan motorisation in at build stage so the wiring is hidden.
BLIND TYPES
Roller, Roman, venetian or vertical: which blind suits which room
| Blind type | Light control | Look | Best rooms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roller blinds | Sunscreen, light filtering or blockout | Clean and simple | Any room, especially living areas and bedrooms |
| Roman blinds | Light filtering or blockout | Soft fabric folds | Bedrooms, living rooms, heritage homes |
| Venetian blinds | Tilt the slats to angle light | Timber, PVC or aluminium | Kitchens, bathrooms, studies |
| Vertical blinds | Tilt and draw to the side | Practical and neat | Sliding doors and wide windows |
| External venetians | Blocks sun before it hits the glass | Aluminium slats outside | North and west-facing glass, balconies |
ROLLER BLINDS
Roller blinds: the most popular choice in Mosman
Roller blinds suit almost any window and come in three fabric types, so the choice comes down to the room.
Sunscreen fabric has a fine weave that cuts glare and heat while you can still see out. It is the go-to for living areas with a water view. Light filtering fabric softens daylight and gives privacy without seeing through. Blockout fabric keeps bedrooms and media rooms dark.
For rooms that need both, a double roller fits a sunscreen and a blockout on one bracket. See our full roller blinds range.
ROMAN BLINDS
Roman blinds for a softer look
Roman blinds fold up in soft pleats and bring the warmth of fabric to the window without the bulk of curtains. Flat folds suit modern rooms; classic folds suit older homes with ornate frames.
On short windows, mounting the blind above the frame lets the folded stack sit on the wall instead of the glass, so you keep more light and view. See our Roman blinds.
MOTORISED BLINDS
Motorised blinds
Motorised blinds open and close by remote, wall switch, timer or phone app. They make the most sense on tall or hard-to-reach windows, large panes of glass, and rooms with several blinds that you want to move together.
They also remove cords altogether. In Australia, corded blinds must be fitted with cord safety devices under the national safety standard, and motorised or cordless blinds are the simplest option for homes with young children. Battery and hard-wired motors are both available, and most roller and Roman blinds can be motorised.
OUTDOOR
Outdoor blinds and awnings for Mosman balconies
Many Mosman homes and apartments have a balcony or alfresco area facing the harbour, and the afternoon sun can make them hard to use. Outdoor blinds and awnings keep these spaces cooler and more private.
External venetians
Aluminium slats fitted outside the glass block heat before it gets in, and tilt to let light through. External venetian blinds
Zip screens
Drop-down screens with side channels that hold the fabric tight in the wind. Good for balconies and alfresco areas. Zip screens
Folding arm awnings
Retractable shade for decks and courtyards that folds away when you want the sun. Folding arm awnings
BEFORE YOU BUY
Three things to decide first
- Inside or outside the recess. Inside looks built in and shows off the frame. Outside overlaps the frame and blocks more light at the edges, which suits bedrooms.
- The right material for wet areas. Kitchens and bathrooms need aluminium or PVC, not timber or fabric that can warp or mark in steam.
- How you will use them. Chain, cordless or motorised. For windows you open and close every day, a smooth mechanism matters as much as the fabric.

FAQS
Blinds Mosman FAQs
How much do custom blinds cost in Mosman?
It depends on the size of the window, the type of blind and the fabric or material. We give you a fixed, itemised price after a free measure in your home, so you know the full cost before anything is made.
What are the best blinds for a harbour view?
Sunscreen roller blinds. They cut glare and heat off the water while you can still see out. Add a blockout roller on a double bracket if the room is a bedroom.
How long do made-to-measure blinds take?
Most orders are made and installed within a few weeks of the measure. We will confirm the time frame when we quote.
Can you motorise my blinds?
Yes. Most roller and Roman blinds can be motorised, with battery or hard-wired motors and remote, wall switch or app control.
Which blinds are best for bathrooms and kitchens?
Aluminium or PVC venetian blinds, or a roller blind in a moisture-resistant fabric. They handle steam and are easy to wipe clean.
Do you remove old blinds?
Yes. We can take down your existing blinds as part of the install.
Do you also do curtains in Mosman?
Yes. See our Curtains Mosman page for sheer, blockout and layered curtains.
