With a diverse selection of fabrics and designs to choose from today, blinds do more than offer privacy. Here’s what you should be looking for when choosing the right style for your home or commercial space.

It can be hard to know where to start when searching for the right blinds for your interior space, with today’s options ranging from well-loved roller and Venetian blinds to motorised and ‘smart’ blinds. 

Focused on bringing a personalised touch to the selection journey, Impulse Blinds has over three decades of experience in helping make homes more beautiful and functional. 

“Starting as a family-run furniture business, we’ve grown into a specialised brand focusing on premium custom window blinds and a thoughtfully curated marketplace of home goods,” shares Impulse Blinds’ Chintan Mistry. 

A partnership with a renowned international manufacturer that has been crafting window blinds for a range of five-star hotels around the world means this local business can provide premium blinds with an enormous selection of fabrics and stunning designs – think textures, patterns, and vibrant colours. 

“We also welcome partnerships with interior decorators, architects, builders, and trade professionals. This collaboration has been instrumental in creating tailored solutions for clients, especially for custom projects that demand a keen eye for detail and design,” says Chintan. 

“But what truly sets Impulse Blinds apart in New Zealand’s competitive window treatment market is our unwavering focus on quality, convenience, and customisation – all wrapped in a personal touch. We’re not just selling blinds; we’re offering an experience that makes designing and ordering window treatments effortless and enjoyable.”

It’s little surprise that roller blinds remain popular across New Zealand. Paired with their clean aesthetic, roller blinds are versatile and available in a variety of fabric choices such as light-filtering, sunscreen, and blackout. 

“Our customers love how effortlessly they blend into any space while providing excellent control over light and privacy. Their simple mechanism makes them a low-maintenance and durable choice, perfect for homes and offices alike.”

Venetian blinds are a timeless classic thanks to their adjustable slats, providing unparalleled control over light and privacy. Whether you prefer the warmth of timber-look finishes or the sleek, contemporary vibe of aluminium, they add style and function to any room. 

Impulse Blinds has an impressive range of wooden Venetian blinds designed to suit all aesthetics.

For customers looking for flexibility, double roller blinds are a game-changer. This dual-layered solution combines two types of fabrics – one for daytime light filtering and another for complete blackout at night. It’s like having two blinds in one, giving you full control over your space’s ambience, no matter the time of day.

Roman blinds are a go-to for those wanting a soft, elegant touch. Their fabric folds create a sophisticated, tailored look that works beautifully in bedrooms, living rooms, and formal spaces.

“With our extensive range of fabric designs and textures, Roman blinds bring both luxury and comfort to any setting,” says Chintan.

Fabric Venetian Blinds
A modern twist on the timeless Venetian blinds, this option combines the elegant look of fabric with the practicality of adjustable slats. Perfect for achieving a soft, sophisticated aesthetic, these blinds allow precise light control while adding warmth and texture to any space. The Ultimate Luzon Roller Blinds are an example of this with their two layers of sheer-translucent or sheer-dimout horizontal striped fabric.

Zebra Blinds
Also known as day-and-night blinds, Zebra blinds feature alternating sheer and opaque fabric stripes. Their unique design allows you to easily switch between letting natural light in and achieving complete privacy, making them a versatile choice for any room.

Honeycomb Thermal Blinds
These blinds are stylish and energy-efficient. Their honeycomb-shaped structure traps air, providing excellent insulation to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. They’re ideal for reducing energy bills and creating a cozy, eco-friendly environment.

Curtain Blinds
This hybrid option combines the elegance of curtains with the functionality of blinds, offering the best of both worlds. It’s perfect for creating a luxurious, layered look while maintaining control over light and privacy.

Meliso Design Blinds
These blinds are all about bold, modern patterns and artistic flair. The Meliso collection features eye-catching geometric and abstract designs that make a statement, turning your windows into a centrepiece of your décor.

Victorian Blinds
Inspired by classic Victorian elegance, these blinds feature intricate patterns and rich textures. They’re perfect for adding a touch of vintage charm to period homes or creating a sophisticated atmosphere in more traditional interiors.

Dorren Fabric Venetian Blinds
A premium choice, Dorren Fabric Venetians blend soft fabric slats with the clean functionality of traditional Venetian blinds. They’re perfect for creating a polished, high-end look while offering exceptional light control and privacy settings.
