5 Best Blinds Stores in Johannesburg (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

New blinds sound simple until you're staring at a wall of options, a tape measure, and a quote you can't quite read. Review counts for blinds stores in Johannesburg on this page run from 39 up to 272, nearly a sevenfold gap, yet every name is rated 4.6 or better. That combination, a long track record and a rating that barely moves, is what separates a shop that measures straight and fits neatly from one still finding its feet.

Short answer: The Decor Connection Blinds and Shutters tops the list with a 4.9 across 272 reviews, the deepest proven record in Johannesburg. Mad About Blinds and Bars carries a spotless 5.0 across 69, and Blind Designs brings manufacturer-level range. Prices swing with fabric, window size, and whether you add motorisation, so book a free in-home measure before you commit.

The Decor Connection Blinds and Shutters

4.9272 Google reviews

The Decor Connection is a family-owned, family-run window specialist working out of Sydenham. They carry the full spread, venetian, roller, roman, vertical, and honeycomb blinds plus shutters, and they also clean and repair existing blinds rather than only selling new ones. Free quotes and a personal, hands-on service are the pitch, and the reviews back it up.

What people praise

  • Fast turnaround with professional, experienced installers
  • A personal touch that reviewers keep mentioning by name (Marnie)
  • Handles cleaning and repair of existing blinds, not just new fits
  • Easy to communicate with, including quick WhatsApp support

Worth knowing

  • Showroom and office hours run weekdays only

Mad About Blinds and Bars

5.069 Google reviews

Mad About Blinds and Bars is a women-driven family business in Glenhazel that pairs blinds with security bars, gates, awnings, and shutters.

Aliza is the name that runs through nearly every review, from first consult to final install.

What people praise

  • Aliza is responsive and helpful with colour matching and options
  • Installers described as neat, even vacuuming as they drill
  • Pricing called fair and competitive
  • Quick to fix issues, including a repair sorted within 48 hours

Worth knowing

  • A smaller team, so book ahead during busy stretches

Our take: A perfect 5.0, but across 69 reviews rather than the hundreds The Decor Connection carries, which is why it lands at #2 on proven volume. A strong pick if you want blinds and home security handled together.

Curtain and Blind workshop

4.676 Google reviews

Curtain and Blind Workshop, known as CNBW, works out of Ormonde and stocks well beyond blinds: curtains, wallpaper, flooring, upholstery, and furniture, online and in store. They offer nationwide installation through a branch network, which makes them a genuine one-stop shop if you're doing a whole room rather than a single window.

What people praise

  • Diverse range and plenty of options under one roof
  • Praised for competitive pricing and neat installation
  • Helpful, communicative sales follow-up (Innocent gets named)
  • Handles curtains, blinds, and soft furnishings together

Worth knowing

  • It's a branch network, and one customer hit long delays at a Pretoria store, so pin down timelines with your specific branch

S.A. Curtains

4.668 Google reviews

S.A. Curtains sits in the Oriental Plaza in Fordsburg and covers curtains, blinds, carpets, and furniture, with custom linen blackout work a clear strength. They stock recognised brands like Aluvert Blinds and Hertex, and the shop-floor experience is a big part of the draw for buyers who want to see and feel fabric before ordering.

What people praise

  • Friendly, professional service from shop floor to install
  • Strong on custom, made-to-order curtains and blackout linen
  • Team returns to adjust fit, including uneven rods and hems
  • Good quality for the price, with a wide fabric range

Worth knowing

  • It's an in-person, Oriental Plaza shopping trip, best if you can visit to choose fabric

  • Quality products backed by long-time repeat customers
  • Covers blinds, shutters, outdoor, curtains, and motorisation
  • Described as first-class and easy to deal with over the years

Our take: At 4.7, its average edges S.A. Curtains, but on 39 reviews (several of them older) it ranks #5 on proven volume. Worth a look for designer ranges if you're happy to work through a distributor.

How we scored the stores

Every number here comes from public Google data. Rating is the live star average. Review volume is how many customers rated the store, ranked against the rest of the Johannesburg field. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from 69 people reads differently than a 4.9 from 272. Recency tracks how recently people are still leaving reviews. No store can pay to shift those figures.

What do blinds cost in Johannesburg? (2026)

There’s no single sticker price, because blinds are quoted per window. What moves the number is the blind type (roller and aluminium venetian sit at the affordable end, shutters and honeycomb higher), the window size, the fabric or material, whether you add motorisation, and the install itself. Nearly every store here does a free in-home measure and quote, which is the only way to get a real figure. Ask for the fitting cost in writing so it isn’t a surprise on the day.

Serving Johannesburg and Gauteng

These stores reach across the city, from Sydenham, Glenhazel, and Sandton through Rosebank, Randburg, and Bedfordview down to Ormonde, Fordsburg, and the southern suburbs. If you’re searching blinds near me anywhere in Joburg or the wider Gauteng, at least one of these will send someone out to measure.

What to ask before you order blinds

  • Is the in-home measure and quote free, and is fitting included in the price?
  • What’s the lead time from order to installation?
  • Do you make your own blinds or source them, and what’s the warranty?
  • Can you match a specific colour or fabric to my room?
  • Do you clean or repair existing blinds if I need that later?
  • For a branch or distributor, who exactly handles my install and after-sales?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. The order comes from public Google data, ratings and review volume. A store can pay to be a Featured Partner, which earns a badge and top placement, but that never changes another store’s score or its position on merit. There’s no Featured Partner on this page, so every store here is ranked purely on its numbers.

How did you choose these five stores?

We started from the full pool of Johannesburg blinds stores with a real Google presence, then ranked by live rating weighted against review volume. These five had the strongest proven records when we compiled the list.

Which blinds are cheapest, and which last longest?

Roller and aluminium venetian blinds usually sit at the budget-friendly end. Shutters and honeycomb blinds cost more but tend to last and insulate better. A good store will walk you through the trade-off for each room rather than pushing the priciest option.

How often is this list updated?

We refresh the data periodically against live Google ratings. These figures were verified in July 2026.

The bottom line

The Decor Connection is the safe default, with the deepest review record in the city and a team that also cleans and repairs what they fit. Whichever store you choose, get the fitting cost written into the quote before you say yes, since that’s the line most people forget to check.
