PLANTATION SHUTTERS
Custom Plantation Shutters for Melbourne Homes
Plantation shutters give you full control of light and privacy, help hold warmth in over winter, and suit both modern and period homes. Every set is made to measure by suppliers we’ve handpicked and trusted for over 20 years, then fitted by our own installers. Choose basswood timber for living areas, PVC for wet areas, or aluminium for outdoors, made in Australia or imported.

Shutter FAQs
Are plantation shutters worth it?
They last for years, add value to a home, and give finer light control than most blinds. They suit rooms where you want a clean, finished look.
Basswood or PVC: which should I choose?
Basswood is lighter and suits wide panels in dry rooms. PVC handles moisture, so it suits bathrooms, kitchens and laundries.
How long do shutters take?
Australian-made shutters take 4 to 6 weeks from final measure to installation. Imported shutters take 8 to 12 weeks, and we often recommend them for their finish and quality.
What warranty do your shutters have?
5 years. Full terms are in our Terms, Conditions and Warranty.

We’ve been working with Curtain Ideas for years now, and they have always been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Their quality, attention to detail and service are consistently amazing. Most recently, they went above and beyond to help us on our new studio, making sure everything was ready in time for opening. Nothing was too much trouble, and we’re so grateful for the effort they put in to make it happen. It’s so lovely working with a business you can genuinely rely on. Couldn’t recommend the team at Curtain Ideas highly enough!Posted on Wayne BlakeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BRILLIANT: The time & patience offered to us by both Carole & Sandi was excellent. We were not pushed or pressured in any way in making our decisions and, at all times, they offered their professional opinions, thoughts and advice to help us achieve a wonderful outcome. The quality of product & workmanship is second-to-none. Any minor alterations required were rectified promptly and seamlessly. Daniel, our installer, was a delight to have in our home and was very open in answering any questions throughout this process. In summary, professional service & advice, quality products and very fair pricing. Will certainly use Curtain Ideas again & very happy to recommend to anyone wanting a flawless experience in window furnishings.Posted on Deb KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found ‘curtain ideas’ when searching Google. I needed a supply and install locally in Narre Warren. Had no previous recommendations for the company ‘curtain ideas’ But when we rang, we went with our gut feeling and arranged a quote. Carol came to our house and measured our window and gave the ideas. She was able to ensure a match was made to the current material used in other rooms. The goods were provided and installed within four weeks. Even though it was only one window in the house our dealings with the business were excellent from the beginning to the end. Daniel was the installer and very professional and clean. We were very happy with the overall dealings we had with the business and would highly recommend them to other people. Good on Curtain Ideas for getting a 5-star review. Thank you to Sandy for the follow-up phone call ensuring we were satisfied with our service.Posted on Tess MaglayaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thanks to Carole and the entire team!Posted on Arlene LawrenceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service from start to finish. Highly recommended. Thanks Barbara and Carol. ❤️Posted on Jim PageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After six when we sought Sandi for curtains to our front windows we had no hesitation in returning to Curtain Ideas to complete our window furnishings. Sandi, Barbara and Carol kept us advised of how the manufacturing process was going and when I added another blind to our order there was no delay in completion. Daniel was prompt when he notified when he could install the curtains and he performed this with efficiency. We strongly recommended Curtains Ideas.
