Question blinds cut to size?

Can anyone recommend somewhere where you can get a blind just off the shelf but they will cut/trim it to size for you if need be? Need a new blind for daughters window but fail to find one on the shelf 59cm wide,best I can get is 60cm. I don't really want to get someone in especially as it will cost a lot more.

What sort of blind? Most off the shelf roller blinds can be disassembled, trimmed and reassembled. Try IKEA.

We have just moved and have brought metal Ventian blinds for the bedrooms. We got them from Spotlight and most of them fitted, the couple that had to be trimmed down to size I did with a tool brought from the shop for $8.00. I was a bit boring to do but they came out really well.

I you want the tool, drive to Mornington and you can have it for free, but as I don't know where you live it might work out a bit expensive on fuel

We had a red cedar wood venetian blind from Bunnings, they cut to fit both height and width.
