Custom Curtains
Custom curtains transform a room in a way that off-the-shelf options simply cannot match. We measure your windows precisely and sew curtains to the exact dimensions of your space, in a fabric of your choice. From sheer linen panels to heavy thermal drapes, we work with a wide range of fabrics and heading styles — eyelet, pencil pleat, pinch pleat — to deliver curtains that look intentional and sit perfectly.
Custom Blinds
Custom-made blinds offer a clean, tailored look that adds a polished finish to any room. We create Roman blinds, roller blinds, and panel blinds to exact window dimensions in your chosen fabric. Custom blinds from Upholstery World are made to a higher standard than mass-produced options, using quality linings and hardware that ensure they hang and operate beautifully for years.
Outdoor Furniture Cushion Upholstery
Auckland's outdoor lifestyle means your patio furniture works hard. Sun, rain, humidity, and UV all take their toll on outdoor cushions. We reupholster outdoor furniture cushions using outdoor-grade, UV-resistant, and water-repellent fabrics built for New Zealand conditions. We can replicate the exact dimensions of your existing cushions or create new custom sizes for built-in outdoor seating.
Window Seat Squabs
A custom window seat squab adds comfort and style to one of the most used spots in any home. We manufacture squabs to the exact dimensions of your window seat — including angled, bay, or non-standard shapes — using foam density and fabric appropriate for daily sitting. Custom piping, button-tufting, and contrasting fabric choices are all available.
Ottoman Upholstery
Ottomans serve as footstools, coffee tables, and extra seating — and they're often the focal point of a lounge. We reupholster ottomans in a wide range of fabrics and leathers, with options for tufting, piping, and contrasting base fabric. Whether you want to refresh an existing ottoman or have a custom size made, we deliver ottomans that are both beautiful and built to last.
Outdoor Awnings
A well-made outdoor awning extends your living space and protects it from Auckland's variable weather. We manufacture and install custom outdoor awnings in a range of heavy-duty, UV-resistant canvas and acrylic fabrics. We also repair existing awnings — replacing torn fabric, fixing broken tracks, and replacing zips and fittings to extend the life of your current installation.
Custom Headboards & Cushions
An upholstered headboard is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to a bedroom. We create custom headboards to your exact dimensions and style preferences — from simple upholstered panels to fully tufted statement pieces in velvet, linen, boucle, or leather. We also reupholster decorative cushions in fabrics that complement your interior with options for piping, zip closures, and custom sizing.
Custom embroidery
A Custom upholstered home decor with a personalised embroidery is the best gift you can give your family. We create custom family crest or even small initials for your occasional chairs, from simple to fully custom designed. We can do it all.
FAQ
Q: What outdoor fabrics do you recommend for Auckland's climate?
A: For Auckland’s mix of sun, UV, and rain, we recommend solution-dyed acrylic fabrics such as Sunbrella, or high-quality outdoor polyesters with UV inhibitors. These resist fading, mildew, and water damage and can last 5–10 years outdoors with reasonable care.
Q: Do you install curtains and blinds, or just make them?
A: We offer a full service including measuring, making, and installing curtains and blinds in your Auckland home. Alternatively, if you prefer to install yourself, we can supply curtains and blinds with all necessary fittings and instructions.
Q: How long does it take to get custom curtains made in Auckland?
A: Custom curtains typically take 2–3 weeks from fabric selection to installation. This includes time for fabric ordering if we don’t have your chosen fabric in stock. We’ll give you an accurate timeline when you confirm your order.
Q: Can you make curtains for non-standard or very tall windows?
A: Absolutely — that’s the advantage of custom curtains. We measure each window individually and sew curtains to the exact drop and width required, regardless of how tall or wide your windows are. We regularly make curtains for high ceilings, bay windows, and other non-standard configurations.

From when we emailed Viraj to receiving our reupholstered sofa, these guys have kept customer service front of mind . Well done team, we look forward to providing you more work over the coming years- very impressed with quality of product - prompt and easy to deal with. CheersPosted on Ronak Modi It’s amazing to get our old stuff look new. Thanks to Upholstery World.Posted on Jenna Roake I reached out to Sejal to finish some new bench seats we had put in. Both Sejal and Viraj were really prompt with coming to visit, listening to the types of fabric and interior look we were going for and produced some stunning squabs that we are really happy with. We also had our curtains shortened to suit the new bench seats. The only slight issue was that we had get the squabs and curtains redone twice. The squab piping wasn’t on the edges of the squabs and there was bulk of fabric at the bottom of the squabs. The curtains & backing hadn’t been individually sewn causing bulging at the bottom. But Viraj was more than happy to understand what we were looking for and took both the squabs and curtains back to ensure a beautiful result. Thank you both for your patience and producing a stunning feature in our home.Posted on Joanne Jorgensen 22/7/25. Viraj came out and saw us in in our home in quick time to view our very cat scratched dining room chairs. Within 1 week they were looking brand new with the fabric we had chosen from samples Viraj had brought with him. Viraj was very helpful, professional and courteous in his approach to us. The cost was very reasonable and we would highly recommend anyone looking for upholstery needs to give Viraj a call.Posted on Alison Blaiklock We thought our old sofas were so munted and worn that they were beyond repair. But Viraj and Upholstery World did amazing, beautiful and affordable work restoring them and now we feel like we are in a luxurious resort! Viraj was considerate, great to communicate with, and gave very helpful advice.Posted on Andrew Malmo I agree with the other reviewers here. Upholstery World did an awesome job of two seat cushions, I'm super happy with the result. Really great service from first contact to delivery, thanks very much Viraj! Highly recommend.Posted on Anna Trotter Viraj has just delivered our beautiful 50+ year old arm chairs recovered and they look amazing! From the moment I contacted Upholstery World we had a five star service. He was super efficient, very reasonable, he collected and returned the chairs with no hassle at all. The upholstery job is top notch and he organised the purchase of the fabric from Warwick in Auckland for me. The entire process was seamless ... big thanks to Viraj, I would HIGHLY recommend him!
