Roller Blinds Northcote
New World of Blinds is a Melbourne family business run by Matt and his son Oz from our factory in Campbellfield. We have been designing, manufacturing, and installing custom roller blinds across Melbourne’s inner north — including Northcote, Thornbury, Fitzroy North, Fairfield, and Alphington — since 2005. That is over 20 years of hands-on experience, thousands of installations, and a deep understanding of what Northcote homes actually need.
Northcote’s housing stock presents unique window furnishing challenges. The suburb’s much-loved Californian bungalows and Federation-era homes often have large, arched, or non-standard windows that require custom solutions — not off-the-shelf products. Its terrace homes and converted warehouses on streets off High Street need roller blinds that suit both original heritage details and modern interiors. And with the suburb’s inner-city position and long, west-facing aspect on many streets, effective heat and glare management is not optional — it is essential.
Because we manufacture everything at our own factory — no intermediaries, no retail markup — you receive factory-direct quality at prices that are typically 30–50% lower than showroom-based retailers. Every blind is made to your exact window dimensions, professionally installed by our own team (not subcontractors), and protected by a 5-year warranty. We handle every step from the free in-home consultation and precise measuring through to custom manufacturing and careful installation.

Blockout Roller Blinds Northcote — Complete Darkness, Complete Privacy
Sunscreen roller blinds are the ideal choice for Northcote living rooms, home offices, and dining areas — particularly in the suburb’s many terrace homes and Californian bungalows where large front-facing windows are a signature feature. A sunscreen blind reduces harsh glare by up to 97% depending on the openness factor of the fabric, while still preserving your view to the street, your garden, or Northcote’s beautiful tree-lined streets.
This makes them especially popular for work-from-home residents — Northcote has one of Melbourne’s highest proportions of creative and professional home workers — who need screens that manage afternoon glare without making their space feel enclosed. Available in a range of openness factors (1%, 3%, 5%, and 10%) to control how much light and view you want.
Translucent & Light-Filtering Roller Blinds — Soft Light for Northcote Interiors
Translucent roller blinds are a lighter, softer option that allows natural light to gently filter through while providing daytime privacy. They are popular in Northcote’s family homes for living areas and children’s rooms, and work beautifully in the suburb’s many Californian bungalows where warm, diffused natural light is a key part of the interior aesthetic. Translucent fabrics are available in a wide palette of neutrals and colours and pair well with sheer curtains for a layered window treatment.
Motorised Roller Blinds Northcote — Smart Home Ready, Battery or Hard-Wired
Motorised roller blinds are increasingly popular across Northcote’s renovated homes and modern townhouses — and for good reason. A single motor allows you to raise or lower any blind from your phone, a wall switch, or a remote control. For homes undergoing renovation — and Northcote has one of Melbourne’s most active renovation markets given its heritage housing stock — motorisation can be installed with battery-powered motors that require no rewiring, making them ideal for period homes where running new electrical cables is difficult or expensive.
We also install hard-wired motors for new builds and major renovations, and our motorised blinds can be integrated with smart home systems including Google Home and Amazon Alexa. All motorised installations include a free programming session to ensure everything works exactly as you expect.
Dual Roller Blinds (Day/Night) — Two Blinds, One Bracket
Dual roller blinds — also called day/night blinds — combine a blockout blind and a sunscreen or translucent blind on a single double-bracket. This gives you maximum flexibility: during the day, drop the sunscreen to manage glare while keeping your view; at night, drop the blockout for full privacy and darkness. This system is particularly popular in Northcote’s open-plan living and dining spaces where light requirements change dramatically between day and night. The dual bracket design is also incredibly clean and minimal, with no visible hardware behind the blinds.
Roller Cassette Blinds — Concealed Barrel for a Premium Finish
Roller cassette blinds enclose the barrel and mechanism inside a neat aluminium cassette housing, hiding all the internal workings for a clean, architectural finish. They are a favourite choice for Northcote’s renovated homes and new townhouse builds where every detail of the interior is carefully considered. The cassette also prevents dust accumulation on the barrel and gives the blind a more premium, hotel-quality appearance. Available in a range of cassette colours to match or contrast your window frame.

How much do roller blinds cost in Northcote?

We provide a fully itemised, obligation-free written quote after your free in-home measure — no surprises, no pressure. Most Northcote homes receive their quote within 24 hours of the measure appointment.
Can you fit roller blinds to Northcote’s Victorian-era and Californian bungalow windows?
Yes, and this is one of our specialties. Northcote’s heritage homes frequently have non-standard window sizes, deep timber reveals, and original woodwork that requires a careful installation approach. We use face-fix brackets in heritage applications, carry a wide range of bracket depths, and never drill into original timber sills without your approval. Every blind is custom-cut to your exact window dimensions.
Do you offer motorised roller blinds in Northcote?
Yes. We install both battery-powered and hard-wired motorised roller blinds. Battery motors require no rewiring — ideal for Northcote’s period homes where running new electrical cables is expensive or impractical. Hard-wired motors are available for new builds and major renovations. All motorised systems can be controlled via phone app, remote, wall switch, or integrated with Google Home and Amazon Alexa.
How long does installation take?
Most Northcote residential installations are completed in a single visit. A standard three-bedroom home typically takes 2–4 hours. We are experienced with the access and heritage considerations of inner-north terraces and bungalows. You will receive a confirmed time window and we always call ahead if our schedule shifts.
Are your roller blinds made in Australia?
Yes. Every roller blind we supply is custom manufactured at our Campbellfield factory in Melbourne using Australian-sourced fabrics and hardware. We do not import flat-pack products. This allows us to produce any size you need — including non-standard heritage window dimensions — with no surcharge and no compromise on quality.
