A One Curtains and Blinds makes and installs blinds in Springfield, along with curtains, plantation shutters, motorised window coverings and screens. A lot of our work here is in townhouses and homes on smaller blocks, where every window has to earn its keep and the budget has to stretch across the whole house. The measure and quote are free, and we bring full-size samples to your door.
Living in Springfield
Springfield is one of the suburbs of Greater Springfield, the master-planned city that Maha Sinnathamby and Bob Sharpless started after buying the land in 1991. The project is run by Springfield City Group. The suburb itself had 7,322 residents at the 2021 census, up from 6,772 in 2016.
It's well connected. The Centenary Motorway runs past, and the Springfield railway line branches off the Ipswich line at Darra. Woodcrest State College and Springfield Anglican College are both here. Put all that together and you get a lot of people who want a home that's easy to live in, close to the train, without much fuss.
Blinds for Springfield townhouses and compact homes
Smaller homes change the brief. Rooms are closer together, windows sit near doors and corners, and the neighbours can be a few metres away. Here's how we approach it.
Fit inside the recess where you can
An inside-recess fit tucks the blind into the window frame, so it doesn't stick out into the room or clash with a bedhead or wardrobe door. It looks tidy, and in a tight bedroom that matters. Most roller blinds and venetians go in this way.
The catch is depth. Some newer frames are shallow, and a blind needs enough room to sit flat and clear the handles. When the recess won't take it, we face fit outside the frame instead. We check each window at the measure, so you're not guessing.
Rollers take up the least room
When a roller is up, it's a slim tube at the top of the window. There's nothing stacking to the side, which suits windows hard against a wall. It's also one of the more affordable options per window, which helps when you're covering a whole townhouse at once.
Blockout for street-facing bedrooms
Townhouse bedrooms often face the street or a shared driveway. That means headlights, streetlights and people walking past. A blockout roller sorts out privacy and light in one go.
If you'd like daylight without being on show, a double roller blind puts a light-filtering fabric in front of the blockout on a single bracket. For rooms where you want privacy during the day but still want to see out, zebra blinds are worth a look too.
Spending the budget where it counts
We'd rather tell you where to save than sell you the dearest thing in every room. A rough rule we use with clients:
- Spend more on the rooms you use most and the windows that cop the most sun, usually the living area and main bedroom.
- Keep spare rooms, the laundry and the garage-side window simple. A plain roller or a PVC venetian is fine.
- Wet areas are where PVC plantation shutters can pay off, since they handle moisture. They start from $250 per square metre, so many people fit them in one or two rooms only.
- Only motorise windows that are hard to reach or that you'd open and close every day.
Sliding doors to a small courtyard are the other decision. Vertical blinds stack to one side so you can walk straight through, and a curtain on a track does the same with a softer look. We'll show you both.
What happens at your free measure
- You call or book online and let us know roughly how many windows.
- We come out, measure every window and check which ones can take an inside fit.
- You look at full-size samples in your own rooms, including blockout against the street side.

- Everything is made to measure in our Hillcrest workshop and installed by our own team.
Why Springfield locals book us
We're a small business that does the whole job ourselves. The same team measures and installs, and we don't use subcontractors. Our Google rating sits at 5 stars across 59 reviews, and plenty of those name our installers Jessy and Puneet.
Because it's all Australian made in our own workshop, sizes are cut to your windows, not squeezed from stock lengths. That's what makes a neat inside-recess fit possible in the first place.
Nearby areas we cover
We're often next door in Springfield Lakes and just up the road in Spring Mountain, where you can also see photos from one of our jobs. We work in Redbank Plains as well, and our projects page has more installs across Ipswich and Logan.
