Sheer Curtains
Sheer curtains filter daylight and add texture. They can suit living areas and large glazed openings, but privacy reduces after dark when interior lights are on, so a second covering may be useful.

Custom-Made Curtains for Melbourne Windows
Sun & Shade supplies and installs custom-made curtains from its Hoppers Crossing base, serving Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. Each solution is planned around the window size, room use, daylight, privacy needs and interior style. A free in-home measure and quote lets you compare suitable curtain styles, fabrics, tracks and installation options before deciding.
Unlike ready-made curtains in standard sizes, custom curtains are measured for the individual opening. Width, drop, fullness, fabric weight and track position can therefore be planned together for a more considered fit and finish.
Curtains Designed Around Your Room
The right curtains should support how a room is used throughout the day. During your consultation, Sun & Shade can consider:
- ✓Daytime and evening privacy requirements
- ✓Direct sunlight, glare and preferred light levels
- ✓Window width, height and available stacking space
- ✓Sliding doors, wide openings and floor-to-ceiling glazing
- ✓Existing furniture, wall colours and interior style
- ✓Track position, ceiling height and preferred operating method
Curtain Styles
Curtain Styles to Discuss at Your Consultation
Blockout Curtains
Blockout fabrics support stronger privacy and light reduction in rooms such as bedrooms. Some light may still enter around the edges, so lining, measurement and track placement matter.
Layered Curtains
A sheer layer paired with a denser curtain can balance daytime light and evening privacy. Layered systems need enough track and stack-back space.
S-Fold Curtains
S-Fold curtains create regular waves along a compatible track. They can suit wide windows and sliding doors when sufficient track and stack-back space is available.
By Room
Curtains for Different Rooms
Living Rooms
Living-room curtains can soften large windows and help manage afternoon glare. Wide openings need careful track planning and adequate stack-back space.
Bedrooms
Bedroom curtains usually prioritise privacy and light reduction. Curtain length, side gaps, lining and track position should be considered together.
Dining Rooms
Dining-room curtains can filter bright light while adding colour and softness. Fabric care and window orientation should influence the selection.
Apartments and Townhouses
For floor-to-ceiling glazing or limited wall space, custom measurement can account for privacy, room proportions and compact stacking requirements.
Custom Curtains vs Ready-Made Curtains
| Factor | Custom Curtains | Ready-Made Curtains |
|---|---|---|
| Window fit | Measured for the individual opening | Available in standard sizes |
| Curtain drop | Planned for the room and track | Limited to available lengths |
| Fullness and fabric | Chosen for the required look and fullness | Limited to available styles and sizes |
| Track planning | Considered during measurement | Usually arranged separately |
| Installation | Professional fitting can be included | Commonly self-installed |
| Best suited for | Precise fit and coordinated design | Straightforward windows and budget-led projects |
Ready-made curtains can suit straightforward windows and budget-led projects. Custom curtains may be the better choice when tailored proportions, coordinated tracks and professional installation are priorities.

Melbourne Light
Curtains for Melbourne's Changing Light
Melbourne homes can experience very different light conditions depending on window orientation, glazing, season and time of day. A west-facing living room may need stronger afternoon glare control, while a darker room may benefit from a lighter treatment that preserves daylight. An in-home consultation helps match the fabric and configuration to the room's actual conditions.
