Curtain Styles

Our Curtain Solutions in Melbourne, VIC

At Austan Blinds & Curtains, we offer curtain styles and fabric options that help manage daylight, improve privacy and complement different interior designs.

Sheer Curtains

Bring soft daylight into your rooms while maintaining an open, airy appearance. Sheer curtains use lightweight fabrics that filter sunlight without creating a solid visual barrier. They suit living rooms, dining areas and large windows. We help you compare fabric weights, transparency and track arrangements to find a style that fits your space.

Blockout Curtains

Reduce incoming light and improve privacy in rooms that need greater coverage. Blockout curtains use opaque fabrics or blockout linings to limit light passing through the material. They work well in bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms. Our team considers the required coverage, lining choices and window dimensions when planning the installation.

S-Fold / Wave-Fold Curtains

S-fold curtains create consistent, flowing folds across your windows. This style uses evenly spaced gliders along a compatible track to create a continuous wave-like appearance. It suits floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding doors and modern living spaces. We consider fabric fullness, track placement and available space to achieve the intended finish.

Linen Curtains

Add natural-looking texture and a relaxed finish to your interior with linen curtains. Depending on the fabric composition, linen and linen-look materials offer different textures, weights and draping characteristics. They complement living rooms, bedrooms and contemporary interiors. Our fabric selections let you compare different looks and find a finish that fits your décor.

Double-Track Sheer and Blockout Curtains

Enjoy separate daytime and nighttime window coverage with double-track sheer and blockout curtains. This arrangement places sheer and blockout curtain layers on separate tracks, allowing you to use either layer independently. It suits bedrooms and open-plan living areas. We assess track space, window dimensions and mounting positions before planning the fitting.

Pinch-Pleat Curtains

Give your windows a structured, traditional finish with pinch-pleat curtains. Sewn pleats create evenly gathered folds along the heading, producing a fuller appearance when the curtains hang. This style suits formal living rooms, dining areas and bedrooms. We consider curtain fullness, fabric weight and the finished drop when preparing your window covering.

Find Curtains That Suit Your Space

Window Curtains in Melbourne for the Way You Live

Softer Daylight

Bright rooms can feel exposed when direct sunlight enters through uncovered windows. Sheer curtains soften incoming daylight while maintaining an open appearance. Consider fabric transparency and window orientation before choosing your preferred coverage level.

Better Sleep

Early sunlight and nearby street lighting can disturb your bedroom. Blockout curtains use opaque fabric or blockout lining to reduce incoming light. Check the curtain width, drop and side coverage when planning your bedroom installation.

Modern Window Finish

Uneven curtain folds can affect the appearance of wide windows and sliding doors. S-fold curtains create continuous wave-like folds along a compatible track. Consider ceiling height and stack-back space before selecting this style.

Natural Interior Texture

Flat or overly formal window coverings may not suit a relaxed interior. Linen curtains add natural texture with distinctive draping. Compare fabric weight and linen composition to find a finish that complements your furnishings.

Day and Night Coverage

One curtain layer may not meet both needs. Double-track sheer and blockout curtains let you operate each layer independently. Check available wall space and track depth before planning this arrangement.

Structured Curtain Folds

Loose or simple curtain headings may not create the formal finish you prefer. Pinch-pleat curtains feature sewn gathers that create structured folds. Consider fabric weight and desired fullness when choosing this heading style.

Custom Curtains vs. Ready-Made Curtains: Which Is Right for Your Melbourne Home?

Melbourne homes have different window sizes, layouts and interior styles. Ready-made curtains offer a convenient option for standard windows, while custom curtains offer more flexibility in measurements, fabrics, and finishes. Comparing the cost, fit and design options helps you choose the right solution for your space.

Custom Curtains

  • Made to suit your window measurements, including wider and taller openings.
  • Choose from a wider range of fabrics, colours, linings and heading styles.
  • Create a consistent finish across multiple windows and rooms.
  • Get more control over curtain length, fullness and overall appearance.
  • Usually cost more upfront and require time for production and fitting.
  • Best for homeowners who want a specific look, a precise fit or curtains for unusually sized windows.

Ready-Made Curtains

  • Available in standard widths and lengths for common window sizes.
  • Often cost less upfront than custom-made curtains.
  • Offer a convenient option for quick room updates.
  • Provide fewer choices in fabric, colour, lining and heading styles.
  • May need alterations or extra panels to achieve the right fit and coverage.
  • Best for standard-sized windows, simpler interior updates and homeowners working with a smaller budget.

The right curtains depend on the room, window position, and how much light you want. Sheer curtains soften daylight, while blockout curtains provide greater privacy and light coverage. A double-track arrangement lets you use both layers, giving you more flexibility throughout the day.

Yes, large windows need careful measurements to determine the curtain width, drop, fabric quantity and track arrangement. Floor-to-ceiling windows and wide sliding doors may also need additional space for curtains to stack when open. An in-home measure helps assess these details before ordering.

Sheer curtains use lightweight fabric to soften daylight while maintaining a bright room, but they offer limited privacy at night. Blockout curtains use dense or lined fabric to reduce incoming light and provide stronger privacy. You can combine both on a double track for flexible coverage.

Custom curtains are made to suit specific window measurements, with more control over fabric, lining, heading and length. Ready-made curtains come in standard sizes and can cost less upfront. Custom options are useful for wide, tall or unusually shaped windows that need a more precise fit.

Measure the curtain track or rod width, then measure the drop from the actual hanging point to your preferred finishing position. Check the drop at several points because floors and ceilings may not be level. Also consider curtain fullness, opening direction and space for the fabric to stack.

Sheer curtains generally provide daytime privacy when outdoor light is brighter than indoor light. At night, room lighting can make it easier for people outside to see through the fabric. For stronger evening privacy, pair sheers with blockout curtains on a double track.

S-fold curtains create a smooth, continuous wave that suits contemporary interiors. Pinch pleat curtains have structured folds for a more traditional finish, while pencil pleats create a gathered appearance. Your choice should consider the fabric, track type, room style and the amount of space available.
