Complete your new home with Russells

Depending on how you look at it, building a new home can either be one of the most exciting times of your life, or one of the most daunting. Luckily, if you need help making decisions about furnishings and fittings there are plenty of companies who are able to help or provide advice about what will work best.

Once the bulk of the structure is up it’s much easier to determine how each space works, and gain a more definitive understanding of the style you like and how you can achieve it. It’s never to early to get Russells involved in the process, an initial consultation can take place before building even starts on your new home. We can show you samples and compile an estimated quote using your plans, so that everything is ready to go once your home is complete.

Choosing furnishings and fittings for your new home shouldn’t all be based on how they look. Understanding the practicality and functionality of each feature is key in working out its worth, and nowhere does this apply more than with curtains and blinds.

Building a new house is the perfect time to consider motorisation of curtains or blinds. These can be hardwired in, a process much easier than retrofitting.

If you’re building a new house, you are probably lucky enough to be installing double glazed windows. While they have been shown to significantly reduce heat loss, the addition of effective curtains or blinds can minimise this even further, increasing the energy efficiency of your home dramatically.

Russells in home consultants can help you decide on how best to approach each room in your house. Our range of fabrics and styles ensure you can achieve the aesthetic you like, whilst making a practical choice.

One of our consultants will meet with you in your new home to take measurements and gain an understanding of your needs, preferences and budget. We will consider things like:

• Different room requirements and which option is best suited, e.g. warmth, darkness, sunlight filtering and exposure to moisture.
• Fabric choices, which compliment your preferred colour schemes.
• Specific features and requirements, e.g. floor to ceiling windows, bay windows etc.
• Customisable details including pleat styles and length options to ensure you achieve the style you desire.

Our curtains and blinds are made to measure, right here in New Zealand, and can be customised to ensure they fit perfectly in their intended space. No problem is too difficult for our expert team of consultants and manufacturers.

A quoted price will normally be supplied during your consultation. If you decide to go ahead a time for installation will be booked, and manufacturing will begin in Nelson. Once manufacturing is completed our team will install your brand new, made to measure curtains or blinds and make sure they fit perfectly.
