Venetian Blinds in Bulli

Venetian blinds for privacy on a busy Bulli street

The Princes Highway runs right through Bulli, past the shops, the cafes and the historic Heritage Hotel. Homes along and near it see a steady flow of cars and people walking by.

Angle the slats upward and daylight still reaches the room, so that you can read on the couch without the street looking back at you. That small change makes a front room feel like part of the house again instead of a fishbowl.

Timber for character, PVC for the damp rooms

Bulli grew up as a coal mining village in the 1800s, and many houses still have that heritage character. Timber venetians bring warmth and a natural finish to living rooms and bedrooms, so that they suit an older home instead of fighting it.

Bathrooms and laundries are another story, especially in homes a short walk from Bulli Beach. PVC venetians are fully moisture resistant, so steam and coastal humidity are not a worry. Aluminium is light and easy to wipe down, which makes it a handy choice for kitchens.

• Timber: warm and natural for living rooms and bedrooms
• Aluminium: lightweight and easy to clean, suits kitchens and home offices
• PVC: fully moisture resistant, suits bathrooms, laundries and coastal homes

Close neighbours in the newer pockets

New housing keeps arriving in Bulli. The old hospital site on Hospital Road is being turned into lots for freestanding homes, duplexes and terraces, and those designs often put windows close to the neighbours.

Venetians let you share the light without sharing the view into your kitchen. Choose a slat width that suits the size of the window, so that the blinds look tidy from inside and out.

Choosing slats, colours and controls

Every venetian we make is cut to your window. You pick the material, slat width, colour and how you want to operate it, by cord, wand or motor with a remote control.

Motorised venetians are worth a thought for windows above a bath or behind a kitchen bench, where reaching the cord is awkward. Day to day care is usually a quick dust or a wipe.

From first call to finished install

We visit your home in Bulli, measure each window and bring samples so that you can see the timber and colours in your own light. The quote is free and you are under no obligation.

Our team then makes the blinds to your exact sizes and comes back to fit them with care. We do the whole job ourselves with no subcontractors.
