Elite Shades supplies and installs custom-made venetian blinds from Rangiora to Kaiapoi, and all across Christchurch and Waimakariri, offering a classic, versatile solution for homes and businesses alike. Known for their horizontal slats that tilt to control light and privacy, Venetian blinds blend practicality with enduring style. Available in a range of materials, colours, and finishes, they can be tailored to complement any interior - from modern minimalist spaces to traditional designs.
Venetian blinds are one of the most adaptable window covering options, offering precise control over both light and privacy. With a simple tilt of the slats, you can direct natural light exactly where you want it, or close them completely for total privacy. They’re easy to maintain, durable, and suit almost any room, from kitchens and bathrooms to living spaces and offices.

Bring natural warmth and timeless style to your space with wooden venetian blinds.

Choose from a range of natural stains and painted finishes to match your décor and create an elegant, refined look.
Enjoy the beauty of timber with the durability of modern materials.

They’re easy to clean, warp-resistant, and maintain their appearance even in humid conditions. With a variety of finishes and colours available, faux wood venetians are a practical, stylish choice for any room. They're also a lighter and more affordable option compared to real wood venetian blinds.

Their natural grain and subtle variations make each blind unique, adding a relaxed, earthy feel that’s perfect for coastal, bohemian, or nature-inspired spaces.
There are a number of options when it comes to venetian blinds:
Some of our faux wood venetian blinds can be motorised for hands free operation of tilt and lift function for complete convenience. Motorisation enables you to easily operate blinds in hard to reach places, or keep children and pets safe from hanging cords and controls. Minimum width of a blind for motorisation is 810mm.

Made from sustainable bamboo, they provide excellent light and privacy control while adding a relaxed, organic feel to your space. They’re ideal for homeowners who want a stylish, environmentally conscious option that complements coastal, bohemian, or nature-inspired interiors.
