Custom Curtains,
Made in Melbourne
Custom curtains are one of the most transformative things you can add to a home. The right curtains change how a room feels. They add warmth, soften acoustics, frame your view and pull everything together in a way that furniture and paint alone simply can’t achieve.
Every Curtain Ideas curtain is measured, sewn and fitted for your windows. We make them in our own Clyde North factory, along with the tracks they hang on, and our team installs them. Family owned since 2003.
Custom Window Furnishings, Made Just for You
Explore Our Range of Custom Curtains
Sheer Curtains
Sheer curtains are one of the most versatile window furnishings available. During the day they diffuse harsh light, reduce glare and give you privacy from the street without sacrificing natural brightness. Layered with a blockout curtain or blind behind them, they give you complete flexibility: light and airy during the day, full privacy at night. We carry a wide range of sheer fabrics including linen sheers, voile, s-fold sheers and wave fold sheers in hundreds of colours and textures. Our team will help you find the right weight and opacity for each room in your home.
Blockout Curtains
Blockout curtains are essential for bedrooms, media rooms and any space where light control and privacy matter. A properly fitted blockout curtain eliminates light gaps at the sides and top, which off-the-shelf options almost never achieve. We offer blockout curtains in a wide range of premium fabrics including linen, velvet, polyester and thermal-backed options. Combined with a quality track or rod system, they provide outstanding insulation against both heat and cold, making a genuine difference to your comfort and energy costs year round.
Why Custom Curtains Make a Difference
Off-the-shelf curtains are made to fit “average” windows. There’s no such thing as average. Windows have their own height, width, light exposure and architectural character, therefore your curtains should be made to match.
