I chose a package with Watson for my new apartment, they helped me tailor it to what I wanted and installed the curtains and blinds before I moved in. The end result looked great, very happy with my choice

We love our block-out honeycomb blinds from Watson Blinds and Awnings! They do the job perfectly, look good, and make the room look bigger. Craig looked after us and communicated with us well, giving us helpful advice and was very accommodating when we decided to change what we wanted. And all this happened during COVID lockdown! Watson delivered when they said they would. Plus were so glad that we were able to support a local manufacturer.

Perfect fit and friendly staff
The Watson showroom is really fantastic - the staff are great at helping you get your head around how each blind will look in your home. We had no idea what would look best but now were super glad and satisfied with our shutters.

A few years back we went to Watsons to get some Roman blinds installed in our living room. Recently we wanted to get the same blinds in a similar fabric to match in each bedroom. It was a small thing but was really nice to learn that Watson still had our details on file and we were able to get the same material to match even though it was years later. Great customer service, will definitely be going back in the future.

I recently renovated my house. I had 20+ windows to furnish. I chose Watson's because I wanted to support a local company. From start to finish the customer service was excellent, the staff were competent, professional and friendly. The quality of the product is exceptional and I expect that I will have these blinds for many years to come.

From the first consultation to the fitting of the curtains and blind, the service by all of the representatives of Watson's was friendly, helpful and courteous. The team, led by Joel Symmans, were very tolerant of my indecision in choosing the type of curtain and blind. I am very pleased with how the curtains and the blind look. Thank you.
