Window furnishings play a crucial role in creating a designer look in your home. They are an extension of the design and tie a space together. Choosing window furnishings as part of your overall finish selection ensures you create a cohesive space that is considered and flows seamlessly.

Window Furnishing
When designing our latest project, we needed to select a window furnishing that would provide privacy in the large open-plan living areas, whilst still maintaining a light and airy feel. Being located on the sunny Gold Coast, these townhouses feature north-facing large decks with stacker doors and multiple large windows and louvres that border the space. Sheer curtains were the perfect solution, as they allow filtered light to enter the room and also add movement due to the cross breezes within the space.
Choosing Materials
We took our building material samples into a Victory Blinds showroom, and selected a stunning polyester fabric for our sheer curtains in the colour ‘Bali Pearl’. These white sheer curtains worked perfectly in both of our colour schemes and resulted in bright and airy spaces. The fabric had a texture which we loved, whilst still being semi-transparent.

We also selected block-out curtain blinds for all bedrooms and the media room. The blackout curtain blinds would provide full privacy and sunblock out and sit discreetly behind the sheer curtains, within the window frame.
We opted for a fine-line track, which is slimline and ceiling-mounted. Our sheers were hung in an ‘S-Fold’ or ‘Wave Fold’ profile, for a luxurious designer look. We curved the fineline track around corners for a soft, continuous effect. We love the tailored look of hemmed sheers, so opted for a 10cm hem. Our sheer curtains were installed wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling for a luxe feel.

We also installed sheers in the master bedrooms to add a beautiful softness, privacy and texture. We motorised the roller blinds concealed behind, for the ultimate in usability and luxury. We love the way sheers give a bedroom a luxurious hotel feel. They help create a space that truly feels like a retreat.
