Custom curtains, made to measure

Curtains play a significant role in enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of any space, and two popular types are blockout curtains and sheer curtains.

Each of these curtain styles offers distinct advantages and can be used separately or in combination to create the desired ambiance in a room.

Sheer curtains

Sheer curtains, also known as voile curtains or sheer drapes, are lightweight and translucent window coverings that add elegance, softness, and a touch of privacy to a room. They are made from sheer fabrics such as chiffon, organza, or lightweight polyester blends, which allow diffused natural light to filter through while creating a sense of privacy.

Blockout curtains

Blockout curtains, also known as blackout curtains or thermal curtains, are a type of window treatment designed to completely block out external light sources and provide maximum privacy. These curtains are made with a specialised fabric that is dense and opaque, preventing light from passing through and creating a darkened environment when they are closed.

Why choose curtains?

Softness and texture

Fabric brings warmth and gentle movement to a room in a way hard surfaces cannot.

Privacy without losing light

Sheers filter daylight beautifully while keeping your home private.

Darkness when you need it

Blockouts create a dark, secluded room for better sleep.

Layer for flexibility

Combine sheers and blockouts to change the mood from day to night.

Options & finishes

Fabrics Sheer and blockout fabrics, used on their own or layered together.
Colours & weaves A wide choice of colours, weaves and textures to suit your interiors.
Length Window-length or full floor-to-ceiling drops, made to your exact measurements.
Layering Sheers and blockouts combined on the same window for day and night control.

Is curtains right for my home?

Curtains suit almost any room, and they really shine if you:

  • Want a soft, elegant finish with warmth and texture
  • Have large windows or sliding doors to dress
  • Need privacy by day and darkness by night
  • Love a layered, hotel-style look
