Blockout blinds, or room-darkening blinds are used to block daylight, and are often chosen for rooms like nurseries, bedrooms and entertainment rooms.
A common misconception about blockout and room darkening roman blinds is that they can only be made in a dark colour. This isn’t true. You can choose any colour you like to suit your decor; even white!
Depending on which fabric you choose, these blinds can filter up to 95% of UV rays.
Many of the fabrics available have anti-static properties designed to repel-dust. This means they are very easy to clean with a little gentle vacuuming or feather-dusting.

Professional, friendly staff! Pricing was competitive, communication brilliant and only 3 weeks from measure and quote... till day a installation. Dean was informative with the options I had, in no way pushy or pressuring.
Made me feel at ease. Nothing seemed an issue.
Pedro was friendly, professional and very clean.
I had 3 quotes done. Complete Blind stood out by far!read more

We used Complete Blinds in Bella Vista for our dream home. We installed all motorised curtains and roller blinds.... Bronwyn was fabulous to deal with. She put up with us constantly changing and chopping our minds and provided the quotes instantaneously. She helped us with the fabric and colour selection - she was brilliant. She was always contactable, has a wealth of knowledge and really knows her stuff! She really help guide us during the whole process.
We signed of on the qoute early December and had it installed on time before Xmas. We were skeptical as we didn’t think they would be able to pull it off during the peak rush but they did! The installers (Jonathan and his team) were amazing! We had 6m high curtains with curtain bulkheads (tight squeeze) - a very difficult install and they done a great job. They were very pleasant to deal - always had a smile on their face with a can do attitude.
They were also very competitively priced! We got a number of quotes and found that complete blinds offered the best price and service.
I highly recommend them!!!
Thank you to team at Complete Blinds.read more

We had been looking around for shutters/blind solutions for quite some time and it is a very confusing industry until... we found Dean @ Complete blinds. Communication throughout the whole process has been great. The quality of the shutters speak for themselves and you really get what you are promised. The installation was very professional and I have never come across tradies that actually use a dustpan to catch the dirt whilst drilling holes to avoid debris going onto the floor/carpet or packing up rubbish on the go not leaving one incy bit behind. I love the shutters and it has truly increased the value of the house. Thank you Complete Blinds team!read more

Need solutions and consultant who can think outside of the square, that’s Bronwyn who’s extremely experienced, capable... and super-confident, truly a blinds guru. She applies the mechanism of 2 single brackets to make it a “slimline double-roller bracket” for my narrow recess area of only 9cm, and also retaining my existing sunscreen. Due to the strong morning sunheat, Bronwyn escalated my case to an express job. In just a week’s time, Rob came to re-install my existing sunscreen and add in a new sunblock skilfully, precisely and swiftly wearing his dark sunglasses. I’m very grateful to Bronwyn’s adamant assurance and advice, and Rob’s help doing such a wonderful great job, as I’ve searched and sought help from various blinds shops for nearly 2 years without success. Super happy with my double blinds now. Huge Thanks!read more

What an absolute pleasure to deal with complete blinds. I was unsure of what I was after but nothing was too hard for... Dean who done the Intial quote. The roller blinds we ordered arrived very quickly and the office girls were very flexible and helpful to fit in with my busy schedule. I had Pedro Install blinds, he was very professional, contacting me on his way and was happy to wait 10 mins for me to arrive. Pedro had a lot of passion and energy completing the job very efficently with such attention to detail with installation. I would highly recommend complete blinds to anyone looking for any style of blinds or shutters, nothing is too hard for them.read more

Overall we are happy with the end result, but had a few hiccups on the way which were rectified.
For the initial... consultation we had Dean come out to give suggestions. The great thing about Dean was that he was able to recommend styles and do the factory measurements at the same time (so no need to get someone out again to measure up). More importantly he didn't pressure us to up-sell and was happy to tell us "you don't need that" or "you don't need to change that".
Pedro the installer was great. One-man show and he got the job done quickly and professionally.
The only problem we had was that the manufacturer had sent an incorrect item and this took weeks to rectify.
In the end up I received an apology call from the manager at Complete Blinds and so it demonstrated they cared about the customer experience.
I would be happy to recommend them.read more

I'm in Sydney, wanted Almond cream Venetian blinds for my sunny kitchen. I was delighted firstly by the lovely lady... that answered the phone. I felt confident to book in a measure and quote. Dean visited and was very helpful. He gave me a good quote, I chose a beautiful Almond cream called "crispLinen" being a perfect match for the cream appliances etc.
The Norman blinds were a 6 week wait, which were happily delivered and installed within 5 weeks by the very nimble perfectionist, Pablo.
The effect is beautiful! I'm so happy...its been in use about 8 weeks now and the whole family are delighted especially now that it's getting hot'n sunny in the mornings.
So happy I went ahead with the quote...it all came down to the lovely conference that the lady on the phone showed.
I happily recommend to my friends.
Especially if Pablo is installing.
The Crisp linen in the norman blinds is a perfect match for the cream in SMEG.
The mechanisms work very well.read more

Professional, Excellent value for money, terrific range, fabulous product. Complete Blinds is indeed the complete... package. From the Sales person Dean who did the measure and quote, was full of terrific advice and integrity through to Kristie who was scheduling, and rescheduling ad infinitum because of my disgusting builder, the entire process was as pleasant and rewarding one could ever expect. Even David the installer left the place spotless and took the time to ensure every blind (in a two home duplex) worked smoothly and aligned appropriately. I would recommend this company without hesitation and if you are collecting quotes - you'd be utterly mad to not get one from Complete Blinds! (One happy customer here).read more

What a lovely experience from the time i arranged a measure and quote from Terry at Complete Blinds who was fantastic... to the installation by David who was organised ,quick ,professional and by far the best fitter i have had in my life. I had three quotes and not only were they far cheaper,
but they arrived before the time given . I am retired and have been in sales for 35 years and i have never dealt with anyone where the whole experience was as good...A customer forever.read more

Complete Blinds - Quality Product and Superior Service.
We got quotes from a few places. We originally liked the... Luxaflex quality, but it was too expensive. When we walked in to Complete Blinds showroom in Bella Vista we liked the quality. The lady at the showroom was friendly and took a lot of trouble to explain things. Then we decided to get a measure and quote.
Troy who is one of the owners came to measure and quote for us. Troy was able to explain the options and help select a suitable color for all our rooms based on wall and window colour. Troy was very friendly and helpful.
We were happy with the product and quote so we ordered the product. It was delivered on time. The installer called Pedro was meticulous and fixed everything well. He was very amicable too.
In conclusion, we are really happy to recommend Complete Blinds to any of our friends.
In fact we are planning to get awnings from them now. We can get Luxaflex awnings through Complete Blinds.read more
