Our Story

At Aurora, we believe your home should be a reflection of your style, not just another space filled with off-the-shelf solutions. That’s why we created a boutique window furnishings brand—one that offers something truly special: elegant, custom-designed window treatments with a level of service and craftsmanship you simply won’t find anywhere else.
After years in the industry, we saw a huge gap in the market. Too many window furnishings businesses focus on mass production, quick turnover, and generic designs—offering little in the way of true style or personal service. We knew homeowners across Canberra deserved better.
The aftermath of COVID-19 accelerated a race to the bottom—not just in price, but in the quality of service, craftsmanship, and materials. We watched as once-reputable manufacturers and retailers prioritized profit margins and volume over expertise and experience, cutting corners and diluting the quality that homeowners should expect. Aurora was founded as a direct response to this shift—we stand for authenticity, excellence, and a commitment to long-lasting quality.
Our business is built by four like-minded locals with a deep passion for the communities we live and work in. With extensive experience in window furnishings, interior design, and decorating—alongside leadership roles in large corporate environments—we bring a unique perspective to the industry. We understand what our customers truly want: stylish, high-quality solutions, exceptional service, and a seamless experience from start to finish.
Everything we do is guided by our core values:
But we’re not just here to sell blinds and curtains—we’re here to build relationships.
As a locally owned and operated business, we’re deeply invested in the communities we serve. We proudly support local charities and initiatives that make a real difference. Whether it’s working with local trades, giving back to community projects, or supporting sustainability efforts, we believe in doing business the right way, from only employing locals (no overseas cheaper talent), to giving our teams the very best in work life balance.
We are different from the rest—and we’re proud of that. We don’t want to be the biggest, we strive to be the best. When you choose Aurora, you’re not just upgrading your home—you’re investing in quality, style, and a team that truly cares. Let’s create something beautiful together.
What Our Customers Say
Jen Simmo
We had a few quotes for some new curtains but in the end went with Aurora. They were priced a little more than some others, but still competitive. Their attention to detail and customer service was exceptional. I found them reliable. You can tell they're super passionate about their products and their professionalism was a class above from the first contact to the installation day. We were particularly impressed with their transparency and commitment to sustainable products and services. I'd happily recommend to all my friends and family here in Canberra.
Hannah and Allan
Everything from start to finish was incredibly professional with Joel. We ordered some Verosol blinds, and after getting 3 quotes, we went with Aurora because they seemed to put the most attention to detail on the little things. Turn around was quick and communication was great. Would recommend.

We recently got our outdoor blinds done. Point of contact was Joel and he was so good with all the information and so prompt with installations. Everything was delivered as per our expectations. We are very happy with the excellent outcomes delivered by Aurora Design & Windows Furnishings.

I recently contacted Aurora Window Furnishings for a quote on 4 outdoor window shutters and was blown away by the excellent price and exceptional customer service. Renzo, Joel, and Ryan were extremely friendly, helpful, and trustworthy.
I accepted the quote within the hour and paid upfront. To my surprise, the shutters were ready within a week, and the installation was completed the following week. The team explained how to use the remote-controlled shutters, and I'm thrilled with the result.
I highly recommend Aurora for all your window dressing needs. Their professionalism, efficiency, and quality products have earned them a loyal customer in me. Thanks again, Renzo, Joel, and Ryan, for a fantastic job!

I was fortunate to discover Aurora Designs during a quick Google search, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! I needed a couple of plastic pieces to repair my vertical blinds, and Joel and Renzo were incredibly efficient in sourcing exactly what I needed.
What truly impressed me was Joel's generosity in offering to drop off the parts at my home. However, I’m really glad I decided to visit the showroom at Aurora Designs. The selection and expertise on display are fantastic! If you’re in need of blinds or curtains, I highly recommend checking them out. Their customer service is top-notch!
