Fit, Light and Style for Deep Window Recesses
Deep recesses are the defining feature of Kenilworth's older housing stock, and they suit an inside-mount blind that sits flush and shows the original reveal. Capetown Blinds quotes real timber Venetians and lined Roman blinds for the main rooms, and switches to faux-wood in bathrooms and south-facing rooms where the southern-suburbs damp would move a natural slat.
Every blind is made to your exact window sizes and fitted for you. The page on blind installers covers what a fit includes, and what happens where the walls are drywall rather than brick.
Good choices for an older home here include wooden blinds, Roman blinds and Venetian blinds, each cut to your exact window sizes. Kenilworth is one of the suburbs we cover across the Southern Suburbs. Prices in Kenilworth are the same as for blinds in Cape Town as a whole.

Picks for Older Southern Suburbs Homes
Wooden Blinds
Natural wood blinds are Venetian blinds made from real timber slats with visible grain.
Roman Blinds
Roman blinds are fabric blinds that draw up into horizontal folds and stack at the top of the window.
Venetian Blinds
Venetian blinds are horizontal slats on cords that tilt to control light and privacy, and lift to stack clear of the window.
Which Window Coverings Kenilworth Homes Need
The window coverings Kenilworth homes need start with the recess. Deep reveals in the older houses take an inside-mount blind that leaves the plaster and timber on show, while a face-fixed blind goes over the shallower frames of newer flats. Either way, the blind should match the age and style of the house.
Light control matters most in bedrooms and lounges. Blockout blinds darken a bedroom, and the page on blackout blinds covers the fabrics. In the living room, zebra blinds (sold as day-night blinds) give privacy by day and let light through when the bands are opened.
An aluminium Venetian is the hard-wearing option for a bathroom or kitchen, and a sunscreen roller keeps glare off the screen in a home office.
Supplying Homes and Businesses in the Southern Suburbs
Capetown Blinds handles home and business windows across the Southern Suburbs, supplying and fitting each blind to its frame. The page on blinds in Claremont covers the offices and flats next door around Cavendish. For a business, the same range applies: a sunscreen roller over a desk, a vertical blind on a wide office window, an aluminium slat blind in a small kitchenette.
