Looking for the right blinds in Melbourne but not sure which style suits your home?
Austan Blinds & Curtains offers a range of other blind types for homeowners looking for different styles, levels of light control, privacy and finishes.
Our range includes Zebra Blinds, Sheer Blinds, Shangri-La Blinds and Blockout Blinds, giving you more options when a standard solution isn't quite what you're looking for.
With more than 10 years of experience in blind measuring and installation, we can help you compare your options, measure your windows accurately and arrange professional installation.
Whether you're furnishing a new home, updating an existing room or replacing old window coverings, we'll help you find a solution suited to your requirements.
Which Blind Style Is Right for You?
Every room has different requirements. You might want flexible light control in the living room, privacy in a street-facing window or a stronger blockout solution for a bedroom.
That's why we offer several blind styles rather than expecting every window to use the same product. Explore the options below and contact us if you're unsure which one is right for your home.
Zebra Blinds
Alternating sheer and solid bands for adjustable light.
Dream Curtains
Softened daylight with a light, open feel.
Shangri-La Blinds

Zebra Blinds
Modern Style With Flexible Light Control

Their distinctive appearance makes them a popular option for homeowners looking for a contemporary alternative to traditional roller blinds.
You can adjust the fabric alignment to allow more daylight through or increase coverage when you want more privacy.
Zebra Blinds may suit:
Sheer Blinds
Soft Light & an Elegant Window Finish
Sheer Blinds can be a great choice when you want to maintain a bright, open feeling while softening incoming daylight.
They offer a lighter visual appearance than heavier blockout options and can complement modern interiors.
Sheer Blinds are particularly suited to rooms where you want to enjoy natural light while adding a refined finish to your windows.

A Stylish Combination of Light & Privacy
Shangri-La Blinds offer a distinctive layered appearance designed to give you greater control over light and privacy.
Their soft, flowing appearance can add a sophisticated finish to living areas, bedrooms and other spaces where style is an important consideration.
If you're looking for something different from a traditional roller blind, Shangri-La Blinds may be worth considering.

Blockout Blinds
Stronger Light Control for Bedrooms & More
Blockout Blinds are designed for homeowners who want greater control over incoming light.
They're particularly worth considering for bedrooms, children's rooms, media rooms and other spaces where reducing unwanted light is important.
