FAQs

How many types of curtain fabric are there?

With so many different styles and designs available, it can be difficult to find the perfect set of curtains to compliment your interiors and fit seamlessly into your home’s decor. The type of fabric affects how the curtains hang and drape, so choosing a high-quality material will ensure durability, coverage and ease of laundering. There are eight different curtain fabrics to choose from. These include:

One of the most common curtain fabrics in Australia, polyester is durable, sturdy and affordable. Easy to care for, this material resists wrinkling, shrinking and stretching and is the perfect solution for first-time curtain customers. This fabric works well for bedroom and living room curtains as it’s easy to care for and maintain.

Providing a more tailored and sleek look, linen curtains are perfect for casual dining areas, contemporary living spaces and airy bedrooms. Although the sheer fabric doesn’t block the sun, it allows for natural light to fill your living space. This style is typically dry clean only and should be hung immediately to avoid wrinkling.

Cotton curtains drape well, making them a natural fit for living and dining room areas. Creating a gently filtered light in any space, they’re easy to clean and care for so they’re perfect if you have children at home.

While this material is heavier and drapes perfectly, silk is dry clean only, which makes laundering this fabric a challenge. Thankfully there are many polyester based silk look fabrics which don’t have this downside.

An ideal insulator for chillier homes, velvet is a heavy fabric that offers a polished look to more formal areas. The perfect fabric for your media room curtains.

Sheer fabrics are a great option in areas where you wish to diffuse natural light. They’re typically available in neutral shades, such as white, ivory and ecru but also come in a range of printed designs as well.

Made from heavy materials like cotton and polyester, thermal curtains are thick and give your home extra insulation. For really chilly homes we can even interline your curtains with bumph for an extra layer of thermal comfort and noise reduction.

Made of an opaque fabric that’s backed by foam, blackout curtains stop the light from entering your room. The thick fabric also increases your home’s privacy.

What is the most luxurious fabric for curtains?

While it depends on your unique aesthetic, linen, silk, and velvet are the best choices to use for window treatments and the most popular curtain fabrics in Australia. These luxurious fabrics hang well, and there are various styles and designs to choose from that will blend seamlessly into your home.

How much do block out curtains cost?
