AWKWARD WINDOW? GOOD.

Some of our favourite window projects start with:

“We’re not quite sure what to do with this window.”

Maybe it’s unusually wide. There’s nowhere obvious for the track or the curtains to stack once open. You need privacy without losing the light. The proportions or angles are tricky. Or you simply don't want the standard solution.

That's the sort of project we love.

At Blanchetts, we look at the room, the architecture, light, proportions and how you actually use the space before deciding what belongs at the window.

Curtains, Romans, blinds, shutters, layered treatments, ceiling-mounted tracks and thousands of beautiful fabrics.

Bring us the difficult window.

Maybe it’s time to find your perfect chair.

We spend a lot of time helping people find a chair that looks beautiful.

But there's something even more important.

How does it actually feel to sit in?

A chair can look perfect in the room but be completely wrong for the person sitting in it. Too deep and your feet don't comfortably reach the floor. Too low and getting back up can be difficult. Too high, too firm, too soft, or without the right back support ~ all of these things can affect how comfortable you feel after more than a few minutes.

And comfort becomes increasingly important as we get older.

At Blanchetts, we don't believe your furniture should dictate how you sit.

We can look at seat height, seat depth, back height, cushion filling, firmness and support and help you find the combination that feels right for you.

And you don't necessarily have to settle for a bulky recliner just because comfort is important.

A beautifully proportioned, traditionally styled chair can be wonderfully supportive and comfortable too ~ and because our furniture is made in New Zealand, we can tailor many of those details.

Come in, sit down and take your time.

Finding your perfect chair shouldn't take five minutes.

These roller blinds changed my mind…

I’ll admit, I’ve never been the biggest fan of roller blinds ~ but these have genuinely changed my mind.

We installed these a while ago in a beautiful, sunny new home at the beach, alongside these gorgeous linen curtains with a separate lining behind.

I love this way of making linen curtains. Keeping the lining separate allows the linen to hang naturally and retain that lovely relaxed, slightly sheer quality that makes linen so beautiful, while the lining behind provides the privacy and protection you need.

And then there are the roller blinds. They’re so much nicer than they used to be ~ beautiful textured fabrics, neat hardware and a much softer look at the window.

Together, the layers work beautifully: texture and softness from the linen, practicality from the lining, and easy light and privacy control from the blinds.

A lovely example of window furnishings being practical without looking overly practical.

One thing I’d ask before buying a sofa or chair…

What’s supporting the seat?

When people bring a sagging sofa or chair into our workshop, they often assume the foam has worn out.

Quite often, though, the problem starts underneath. We regularly find cheap elasticated webbing that has stretched over time and is no longer properly supporting the seat. We can replace the webbing and, where needed, replace the tired foam too.

It’s one of the reasons construction matters so much when you’re choosing new furniture.

At Blanchetts, our new sofas and chairs use quality hand tied springs and jute webbing in the seats rather than elasticated webbing along with quality New Zealand-made foams and fills.

Most of that is completely hidden once a piece is upholstered ~ but it makes a very real difference to how your furniture feels and performs over the years.

So when you're buying a sofa or chair, don't just ask “Is it comfortable?” Ask “How is it made?”

Or come in and try ours ~ we’re quite happy to show you exactly how they’re made and what’s underneath.

We’re proud to be stockists of Güell Lamadrid, a family-owned Spanish textile house with roots in Barcelona and a history stretching back to the late 19th century.

Known for combining textile tradition with bold, contemporary design, their collections are full of beautiful colour, pattern and texture ~ fabrics that can completely transform a piece of furniture or a room.

We love Güell Lamadrid for clients who want something distinctive, beautifully made and just a little unexpected.

Explore the collection in our fabric library at Blanchetts.

A little look at what’s new at Blanchetts

There’s always something changing in the showroom ~ new fabrics arriving, beautiful homewares, artwork, cushions and one-off pieces finding their place.

We love choosing things that feel a little different: pieces with colour, texture, character and craftsmanship that can make a room feel collected rather than simply furnished.

Pop in for a browse and see what’s new ~ you might find the piece you didn’t know your room was missing.
