supplied and installed, typically $220 - plantation shutters, external roller shutters, outdoor blinds and curtains below
A Byron Bay job is often a mix of indoor and outdoor: light-filtering rollers or sheers across big sliding doors, blockout in the bedrooms, and a cafe or zip blind on the deck. A beach house or hinterland home is a list of openings priced against the rows below, not one package price, so ask for a line for each.

In Byron Bay, blinds and shutters are priced by the window, by the square metre or by the blind, depending on what you buy. A custom roller blind supplied and installed is $150–$350 per window, typically $220; a standard window fitted with plantation shutters is $450–$750; and a manual external roller shutter $400–$850 per window.

The homes here pull in two directions. Beach houses in Byron Bay town, Suffolk Park and Brunswick Heads are open-plan with large sliding doors and decks, while hinterland homes around Bangalow, Federal and Mullumbimby sit on acreage with wide verandahs and views. Holiday rentals add another need: hard-wearing blinds that are simple for guests to use. These are national bands; the sources do not support separate Byron Bay prices.

Prices are as published by blind and shutter suppliers, installers and cost guides, fetched in November 2026. Most of those sources do not state a GST basis; the fully fitted plantation shutter figures include GST. Every band rests on at least two independent sources. The sources do not support separate city prices, so Byron Bay shows the national bands.

How Blinds & Shutters Costs Vary Across Byron Bay

The bands are the same across the Byron Bay area; the house type, the sea air and the outdoor space change which rows a job uses.

What Byron Bay Blinds & Shutters Jobs Actually Cost

Three Byron Bay area jobs worked from this page's rows. Each line names the row; your own quote prices your openings.

Suffolk Park beach house

A wide sliding door to the deck dressed with S-fold sheer curtains at $400–$1,200 per window, typically $645, with blockout rollers at $150–$350 in the bedrooms.

Bangalow verandah

The open end of a verandah closed in with a manual zip blind, priced on the opening at $300–$450 per square metre, typically $350.

Brunswick Heads holiday let

A run of rollers through the bedrooms at $150–$350 per window, plus a restring on an old living-room blind at $110–$218 rather than a replacement.

Internal Blinds and Curtains: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Byron Bay by Type

Inside the house the price follows the blind type. A custom roller blind is $150–$350 per window and an aluminium or PVC venetian $150–$350; a vertical blind is $150–$350. A timber venetian with a 50 mm slat runs $300–$600, a honeycomb (cellular) blind $200–$450, a double day/night roller $180–$400 and a custom Roman blind $250–$500, typically $420.

Byron Bay interiors tend towards natural, light-filtering looks: rollers in sunscreen or linen-look fabrics, Roman blinds at $250–$500 in a bedroom, and timber venetians at $300–$600 where a warmer finish suits the house.

Humid air is hard on some fabrics and timbers, so ask how each product handles damp, and consider aluminium or PVC venetians at $150–$350 for bathrooms and laundries. Double day/night rollers at $180–$400 give a bedroom both a sheer and a blockout.

Curtains sit beside blinds rather than inside them: made-to-measure curtains are $300–$600 per window and S-fold sheers $400–$1,200. Motorising an internal blind adds $150–$350 per blind for a battery or retrofit motor.

Plantation and Roller Shutters: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Byron Bay

Plantation shutters in PVC or basswood are priced two ways: $300–$800 per square metre installed, or $450–$750 per window for a standard window of about 1200 x 1200 mm, fully fitted. External window roller shutters are a different product - an aluminium curtain that rolls down outside the glass - at $400–$850 per window with a manual winder and $700–$1,200 with a motor.

Plantation shutters bring a coastal finish to a renovated beach house, with louvres that can be angled against the morning sun. Standard-size windows are $450–$750 each, fully fitted; tall doors and wide openings are priced by area at $300–$800 per square metre. Ask whether PVC or basswood suits a humid, salty site better.

External roller shutters are less a decorating choice here and more about securing a holiday home while it is empty or blocking hard western sun. A manual shutter is $400–$850 per window, motorised $700–$1,200, and a service call with a minor fix $120–$250.

Outdoor Blinds, Motorisation and Repairs: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Byron Bay

Outdoor blinds are priced by type: a manual track-guided (zip) blind is $300–$450 per square metre and a motorised straight-drop outdoor roller blind $1,200–$2,500 per blind with the motor. Clear PVC cafe blinds are quoted per blind by size; no current source states a typical figure, so they are not a row here. Repairs are their own rows: a blind restring, chain or clutch repair is $110–$218 per job and a roller shutter service call with a minor fix $120–$250. Fitting a blind you bought yourself is $40–$150 per window.

Decks and verandahs are part of the living space in Byron Bay, and outdoor blinds keep them usable in wind and rain. A manual zip blind is $300–$450 per square metre and a motorised straight-drop blind $1,200–$2,500 per blind; a clear PVC cafe blind is quoted by size.

Near the beach, salt air works on metal fittings, so ask what the channels, brackets and screws are made of and how the blind should be rinsed. In the hinterland, ask how a blind on an exposed verandah is meant to be secured before a storm.

What Affects Blinds & Shutters Costs in Byron Bay

In the Byron Bay area the product, the size of the openings and any motor or outdoor work decide where a quote lands; the town or village does not.

Product

Rollers at $150–$350 and plantation shutters at $450–$750 are both priced per window but sit far apart, so the product choice comes first.

Sliding doors and big openings

Open-plan beach houses have wide doors that take more fabric and longer tracks, pushing a quote up its band.

Salt and humidity

Products and fittings made for damp, salty air can sit higher within a band; ask for the material to be named on the quote.

Outdoor area

Zip blinds are priced on area at $300–$450 per square metre, so a long verandah sets the quote more than the number of blinds.

Motors

A battery or retrofit motor adds $150–$350 per internal blind, and a motorised outdoor blind is $1,200–$2,500 per blind.

Access

Raked ceilings and high windows in hinterland homes need longer ladders and more fitting time, which moves a quote towards the top of each band.

How to Save Money on Blinds & Shutters Cost in Byron Bay

1
List each opening with its width and drop, including the sliding doors, before asking for quotes, so every installer prices the same job.
2
For a holiday let, choose products that are simple to use and easy to repair; a restring is $110–$218 per job.
3
Ask which fabrics and fittings suit a humid, salty site, and have the material named on the quote.
4
Use sheers at $400–$1,200 on the big sliding doors and rollers in the bedrooms, rather than one product throughout.
5
Work out a verandah opening in square metres before comparing zip blind quotes at $300–$450 per square metre.
6
If you have bought blinds already, fitting only is $40–$150 per window.

Blinds & Shutters Cost in Byron Bay by Job Size

Quick answerIn the Byron Bay area a blinds job is sized by its openings: a custom roller blind is $150–$350 per window, sheer S-fold curtains $400–$1,200 per window, and a zip outdoor blind $300–$450 per square metre.

A small job is one room or one repair - a bedroom roller at $150–$350 or a restring at $110–$218. A whole house is the same rows repeated at each opening, so ask for a line per window and per door.

Outdoor work scales with size: a verandah closed in with zip blinds is priced on its area at $300–$450 per square metre, and oversized shutters on a tall opening are $300–$800 per square metre.

Blinds & Shutters Cost in Byron Bay: What the Quote Should Include

Byron Bay area quotes compare best when each one lists every opening with its size, names the product and material, and shows motors, removal and outdoor fittings on their own lines.

Do corded blinds have to meet a safety standard in Byron Bay?
Corded internal blinds and curtains in homes fall under a national mandatory installation standard (the 2014 safety standard for corded internal window coverings, administered by the ACCC). Installed cords must not be able to form a loop of 220 mm or longer below 1,600 mm above the floor, any cleat that secures a cord must sit at least 1,600 mm above the floor, and the installer must attach a label with their name and contact details. The ACCC says installers must comply and that fines and penalties may apply.
Do you need a licence to install blinds or shutters in Byron Bay?
In New South Wales, a contractor licence is needed for residential building or trade work, including minor trade work, above a set job value, and the minor trade work licence carries endorsements for shade sails, awnings and security grilles. The NSW Government's minor trade work page does not name internal blinds, curtains or shutters, so ask whether your job needs a licence once it includes external fixtures.
