Custom Blinds Design Services
At Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings®, our custom blinds design services bring an inspired approach to choosing shutters, blinds, and shades. We create mood boards that show how light, colour, and texture shape your rooms. We bring blind samples to you, and when a design consultation is booked we arrange fabric swatches so you can touch and feel the choices. Based in the Garden Route, we assist clients in Knysna, George, Plettenberg Bay, Sedgefield, Wilderness, and Mossel Bay, and we extend this service across South Africa through remote consultations and couriered samples.

Design services across the Garden Route
Plettenberg Bay homes often face the bay and the prevailing winds, so our design services here focus on shutters that withstand weather and blinds that can soften brilliant coastal light. Duo roller systems and outdoor weather blinds are popular for balancing views with privacy.
Knysna carries a mix of heritage homes and modern builds. Clients here often seek inspired mood boards that blend traditional shutters with contemporary finishes. Many request automated blinds to handle shifting lagoon light throughout the day.
Wilderness projects highlight wide glass and open-plan spaces. Our custom blinds design services often recommend honeycomb blinds for insulation and soft rollers for seamless views. Natural textures and neutral tones are trending strongly in this area.
George is growing quickly with new builds and renovations. Here we see strong demand for clean roller blinds, duo rollers for flexibility, and shutters that offer both style and security. Many projects integrate directly with local builders and decorators for turnkey results.
Mossel Bay clients often focus on durability and ease of use in holiday homes. Outdoor weather blinds, aluminium shutters, and automation are popular choices. Inspired design services here ensure each space feels welcoming yet resilient for coastal conditions.
Across the Garden Route, trends we see are consistent: lighter colour palettes, fabrics that soften bright sun without losing views, and an increased interest in automation for comfort and energy control. Our custom blinds design services guide these choices with clarity and care, so each project reflects both lifestyle and location.
