Custom Curtains in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie

Are custom curtains right for your home?

Made to measure is what separates a custom curtain from an off-the-shelf panel. The width is sized to give proper fullness when closed, the drop is set to finish exactly where you want it, and the curtain covers the whole window so light does not leak around the sides. That fit is what makes the difference to light control, insulation and how the room looks.

Fabrics range from sheers that gently filter light to light filtering and full blackout, in a wide range of colours and textures. A popular approach is layering: a sheer curtain for soft daytime light and privacy, with a blockout curtain behind it for night. CBI Blinds fitted exactly that in a Boat Harbour home, and sheer curtains in a Valentine living room.

Curtains suit large windows and sliding doors, add warmth and improve acoustics in rooms with hard floors. They do need space beside the window to stack when open. Where that space is tight, or you want the tilting control of a blind, Veri Shades give a sheer curtain look with vertical blind control, and roman blinds give a soft fabric finish within the window. Kyle can also recommend how far the track should extend past the window so the curtains stack clear of the glass.
