Went the extra mile
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Thank you Angela and team for our wonderful window treatments. We’re in love with our thermacell blinds and sheer curtains. Angela went the extra mile to ensure I was happy with the package and I experienced excellent communication throughout the process. Installation was a breeze and the whole process was enjoyable amongst the chaos of moving a family into a new home.

Endless product knowledge
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We’ve recently finished our architectural build here in Cambridge. We decided to use Guthrie Bowron Cambridge for all of our window treatments which was a huge job. I remember popping into the Guthrie store prior to selecting the curtain supplier and I knew straight away that Heather was someone that I’d love to work with. I wasn’t wrong! Cheerful and chatty with endless product knowledge and can provide guidance on various options to meet budget needs. She has been a massive source of support throughout the build even outside of her scope of works. Above all, Heather genuinely cared about this project. Heather takes great pride in all that she does and goes the extra mile which we needed as we were after a high end finish. I feel genuinely blessed to have met her on this journey. Caleb was also a trooper when it came to the installation. It was endless trips up and down a long/steep driveway as our concrete had just been poured so no driving on it. Nothing has been too much trouble for this super team. Thank you team for your hard work and investment into this project!! You have delivered exceptionally beautiful curtains/sheers/blinds throughout our house.

Workmanship is truly first class
Karen worked closely with us on selecting our paint colours, and we achieved exactly the look we were hoping for warm, soft, natural tones that work beautifully throughout the home.
The team’s knowledge and passion for interior design really stood out, and they were also fantastic in helping us with furniture options to complete the overall look. We would highly recommend Guthrie Bowron to anyone looking for expert advice and exceptional results.

Marvellous job
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I just wanted to say a truly heartfelt thank you for the marvellous job the team has done. The blinds look absolutely magnificent – I am completely over the moon with how everything has turned out.
The finish, the fit, the overall look… it has transformed the space beautifully. We couldn’t be happier.
I’m also incredibly grateful for how efficient the lead time was — that genuinely blew me away. In a world where we’re so used to long waits, your turnaround was such a wonderful surprise.
Thank you very, very much for your care, professionalism and attention to detail. It truly shows.

Fabulous Consultation
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A fabulous consultation with Anna in the curtain and blinds dep. She was a wealth of knowledge and super friendly. Guthrie Bowron Invercargill, December 2025. Source: Google Reviews
Outstanding service
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We are beyond grateful to Guthrie Bowron Whangārei, especially Maja, for the outstanding service we received! Before coming here, we had visited other curtain places and were told it would definitely take 4–6 weeks, with no certainty of an exact completion date. Not only did they meet the tight deadline, but the curtains turned out absolutely stunning - far better than we imagined. Maja went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and her professionalism, honesty, and dedication really stood out. Guthrie Bowron Whāngarei, September 2025 Source: Google Reviews
Thrilled with the result
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A huge thank you to Eleanor and her team. It was a pleasure to deal with you through measure and quote, choosing fabric and installation of the finished curtains. We are thrilled with the result. Many thanks. Guthrie Bowron Thames, September 2025 Source: Google Reviews
Exceptional customer service
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Exceptional customer service. I needed a random piece for my Roman blinds (not made by Guthrie Bowron) and a lovely lady there sourced the piece for me and made my experience hassle free. Cannot thank her enough. Guthrie Bowron Manukau, August 2025 Source: Google Reviews

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely love all curtains and blinds. Mandy and the team are awesome to deal with, so helpful. Would certainly recommend them. Thank you. Guthrie Bowron Te Awamutu, August 2025 Source: Google Reviews
Went the extra mile
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I can't speak highly enough of the service I received at Guthrie Bowron Whangarei. From my very first contact with Maja, I felt as though she continually went the extra mile. Communication was awesome, my curtains look fantastic and Geoff, the curtain installer was so professional. In a world where customer service can be dodgy, Maja and Geoff stood out 100%. I most certainly will use GB Whangarei again & totally recommend Maja and team to others. Guthrie Bowron Whāngarei, August 2025 Source: Google Reviews

In love with our curtains
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In love with our curtains and carpets from Jules at Guthrie Bowron Wanaka! Jules helped us with colour and design advice in our home and made us the most beautiful linen sheers with thermal doubles behind and they have been such an huge asset to our home. The sheers are great for sunshading and privacy and the double track setup with thermals behind make the house so much warmer! She really knows her stuff. The wool Bremworth carpets are top quality too. Excellent customer service always from Jules and her staff and always greeted with a smile and great expert advice on all things interior decorating. Jules has exceptional taste and the best practical advice for your home you’ll find locally! Guthrie Bowron Wānaka, July 2025 Source: Google Reviews

Knew their products
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wow, the team here gave the best service we have had in a long time! We were looking for curtains and went to several places. The service here was just so good, Guthries had a much wider range of fabrics, everything from tartan to sheer. They knew their products really well, gave on the spot advice and price guide and followed through on all they said. We both commented that it was great to have really good old fashioned service again! Thank you. Guthrie Bowron Pukekohe, February 2025 Source: Google Reviews
