Southern Enterprise Awards 2025/ 36 Blinds & Shutters Supplier of the Year 2025 – Hampshire Although blinds and shutters may be the final touches of a home that has recently been built or a space that is newly renovated, they are important pieces to consider and can often make or break rooms. A company well aware of this is the aptly named Final Touch Blinds & Shutters, a local, family-owned business based in Southampton that serves customers across Hampshire and the surrounding counties along the South Coast. On the back of its recognition with this award, we caught up with the man at the helm, Adam Carter, for more on what sets it apart. Having worked with homeowners, interior designs, architects, and commercial customers on a range of projects covering everything from the provision of bespoke, gable-end blinds to motorised systems for external awnings and large-scale office installations, Final Touch Blinds & Shutters has established itself as the place to go for luxury blinds and shading solutions in the region. The blend of innovation, design prowess, and practical experience behind these projects is something only an independent business can deliver. The dedication Final Touch Blinds & Shutters has to providing every customer with the right solution is embodied through its new showroom, the first of its kind in the area. As Adam explained: “It gives customers the chance to experience the latest in smart-shading technology in a hands-on setting. It’s a space designed to inspire – whether you’re planning a home renovation, specifying for a commercial project, or designing for a customer.” Across its showroom, a full scope of blind and shutter solutions are available to view. “Our showroom plays a big role. It allows us to test, demonstrate, and refine the latest systems in real-world scenarios before rolling them out to clients. This helps to keep us at the forefront of both technology and style.” This reflects the sheer volume of solutions available across the company, with hundreds of different materials, louvre sizes, colours, and designs all available. These can be tailored for any requirement, meaning that, regardless of whether a customer wants full-height shutters, baywindow shutters, tracked shutters, shaped shutters, or any sort of blind, Final Touch Blinds & Shutters can help find the right solution for them and their space. Such a vast portfolio in no way means quality is comprised on, and the robust yet elegant nature of these solutions is apparent, especially when it comes to the premium plantation shutters that are a particular standout across its portfolio. Sourced from leading brand S:CRAFT and complete with a five-year warranty, customers who choose these particular shutters for their home or business enjoy a space with majorly elevated aesthetic appeal, not to mention improved privacy and energy efficiency. Saving energy and boosting sustainability across its blinds and shutters is something Final Touch Blinds & Shutters is heavily focused on currently, reflecting the more general aims of the wider industry. “Eco-friendly fabrics, thermal performance, and shading that reduces overheating in glass-heavy homes are all in high demand at present”, Adam explained. “Alongside this, motorisation and smart integration have shifted from being luxury add-ons a few years ago to an expectation for high-end projects.” His company’s ability to seamlessly deliver on this is built into its USP: a willingness to take on those projects that others avoid, due to them being too complex or time consuming. Be it an oversized sliding door or complex apex windows, Final Touch Blinds & Shutters prides itself on providing solutions that step up where standard blinds fall short, with its motorised solutions mixing technical proficiency with designdriven thinking. This perfect balance has been struck thanks to the team and the culture behind the business, both of which operate according to the values of collaboration, quality, and the pursuit of customer satisfaction. Any problems are solved quickly and learnt from so that they do not happen again, and it is in this way the company continues to improve. As we move into the ultimate stages of 2025, Final Touch Blinds & Shutters remains focused on expanding its showroom, as well as developing new solutions across external shading and outdoor living, ensuring it continues to add maximum value. Finally, reflecting on this award, Adam told us: “We’re proud of the reputation we’ve built for solving challenging glazing projects with straightforward, honest advice and a personal touch. That’s the difference clients notice, and it’s what keeps us moving.” More on the company and its solutions can be found at the link below.
