How much do blinds & shutters cost in Hobart?
How a Hobart quote is priced depends on the product: blinds, curtains and most shutters by the window, large shutters and zip blinds by the square metre, other outdoor blinds by the blind. Supplied and installed, a custom roller blind is $150–$350 per window, typically $220; plantation shutters fully fitted to a standard window $450–$750; and a manual external roller shutter $400–$850 per window.
Hobart's older housing shapes the choices. Georgian and Victorian cottages in Battery Point, North Hobart and West Hobart have small-paned sash windows; Federation and inter-war homes in New Town, Lenah Valley and Sandy Bay have bays and tall front windows; and Eastern Shore homes in Bellerive, Howrah and Lindisfarne look across the Derwent. Every figure is a national band: the sources do not support separate Hobart 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 Hobart shows the national bands.

Across Hobart the bands are the same; the age of the house, the cold and the view change which rows a job uses.
- Battery Point, North Hobart and West Hobart - Older cottages with sash windows suit timber venetians at $300–$600 or made-to-measure curtains at $300–$600 per window.
- Sandy Bay, New Town and Lenah Valley - Federation and inter-war homes with bay windows often price plantation shutters by area at $300–$800 per square metre.
- Eastern Shore - Homes in Bellerive, Howrah and Lindisfarne with river views often choose light-filtering rollers at $150–$350 per window or sheers, so the view stays open.
- Kingston and the southern suburbs - Newer homes in Kingston and Blackmans Bay usually fit blockout rollers throughout and add honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 in the living areas.
What Hobart Blinds & Shutters Jobs Actually Cost
Three Hobart jobs worked from this page's rows. Each names the row; your quote prices your own windows.
West Hobart cottage, living room
Two sash windows dressed with made-to-measure curtains at $300–$600 per window, typically $595, drawn on cold evenings.
Sandy Bay bay window
A front bay in plantation shutters, too large for the standard-window row, priced by area at $300–$800 per square metre, typically $350.
Kingston bedrooms
Three bedroom windows in honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 per window, typically $250, for a layer of insulation.
Internal Blinds and Curtains: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Hobart 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.
In a cool climate the inside layer matters. Honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 trap air against the window, made-to-measure curtains at $300–$600 per window add a heavier layer, and double day/night rollers at $180–$400 give a bedroom a sheer and a blockout on one bracket.
Older Hobart cottages with small windows and deep reveals suit inside-mounted rollers or timber venetians at $300–$600, and Roman blinds at $250–$500 give a softer look in a bedroom or study.
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 Hobart
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 suit the street-facing rooms of a Federation or Victorian home, and can be closed fully on a winter night. Windows near the 1200 x 1200 mm standard are $450–$750 per window, fully fitted; bay windows and tall doors are priced by area at $300–$800 per square metre.
External roller shutters are mainly a security product on a Hobart home, for a ground-floor window or a holiday house left empty. 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 Hobart
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.
Outdoor blinds make a deck usable on cool, windy days and through long summer evenings. 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, quoted by size, is a way to keep the river view while blocking the wind.
On an exposed hillside deck, ask how the blind should be secured in strong wind and whether it should be rolled up through winter. Close to the water, ask what the brackets and channels are made of.
What Affects Blinds & Shutters Costs in Hobart
A Hobart quote follows the product, the size and number of windows, and any motor or outdoor work; the suburb does not set the price.
Product
A roller at $150–$350 and a fully fitted plantation shutter at $450–$750 are both per-window rows, far apart, so the product decides most of the quote.
Old windows
Small-paned sashes, deep reveals and bay windows in older homes take more care to measure and fit, pushing a price towards the top of its band.
Warmth
Honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 and curtains at $300–$600 are separate rows from a plain roller, so choose them for the rooms that need them.
Motors
A battery or retrofit motor adds $150–$350 per internal blind; a motorised roller shutter is $700–$1,200 per window.
Hillside access
Steep blocks and two-storey homes in suburbs like West Hobart and Mount Stuart make upper windows slower to reach, which moves a quote up its band.
Outdoor exposure
A zip blind on a windy deck at $300–$450 per square metre is a bigger job than a blind on a sheltered, covered deck.
How to Save Money on Blinds & Shutters Cost in Hobart
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Hobart by Job Size
A small job is one room or a repair - a study roller at $150–$350, or a restring at $110–$218. A whole cottage repeats the same rows at every window, so ask for a line per window rather than one figure.
Bays and outdoor areas are sized by area: oversized plantation shutters are $300–$800 per square metre, and a deck closed in with zip blinds is priced on the opening at $300–$450 per square metre.
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Hobart: What the Quote Should Include
Hobart quotes compare well when each lists every window with its size, names the product and fabric, and shows motors, removal of old fittings and outdoor work as separate lines.
- Each window listed with its width and drop, and the product priced against our rows - for example a custom roller blind at $150–$350 per window or plantation shutters at $450–$750 per standard window
- Whether the blind is inside-mounted or face-fitted, and who takes the measurements (the installer's own measure keeps the fit on them)
- The fabric, slat or panel material named - blockout or light-filtering fabric, aluminium or timber slats, PVC or basswood shutters
- Any motor priced as its own line: an internal blind motor is $150–$350 per blind on our table, and a motorised external roller shutter $700–$1,200 per window
- For outdoor blinds, the area in square metres for a zip blind at $300–$450 per square metre, or the width and drop for any other outdoor blind
- Removal and disposal of old blinds or curtains as its own line, so two quotes compare like for like
- For corded blinds, confirmation that the installation meets the corded window covering safety standard, with the installer's label attached
- The warranty on the product and on the installation, stated separately, and the lead time from measure to fit
- A single GST basis across every line, the installer's ABN and public liability insurance
