WHAT ARE CURTAINS?
Curtains are window coverings that can create the perfect ambience in any room. They come in different widths, lengths, fabrics, colours and patterns to effortlessly enhance your space.
What makes these window treatments special is they can soften harsh lines, add a pop of colour and offer a cosy texture that can make your space feel warm and inviting. Beyond looking good, they’re practical, too. They provide light control, enhance privacy and even help with energy efficiency in your home.
To set the perfect mood in your space, shop our huge range of curtains at Carpet Court. Our selection includes high-quality sheer curtains, blockout curtains, S-Wave or S-Fold curtains and more.
WHAT CURTAIN STYLES ARE AVAILABLE?
At Carpet Court, we’ve got a wide variety of curtain styles in stock to meet your preferences and enhance your living space. Discover these popular types of curtains to elevate the look and feel of any room:
- S-Wave curtains: S-Fold curtains earned their name because they form a wave-like S shape. The folds in these S-Wave curtains create a flowing, continuous look that’s perfect for adding elegance to contemporary spaces. Their evenly spaced folds give them a modern look, unlike the gathered style of eyelet curtains or the pleated design of pencil pleat curtains and pinch pleat curtains.
- Sheer curtains: These light and airy curtains allow natural light to filter through while offering privacy. Sheers work well in living areas and bedrooms where you want a soft, diffused light.
- Blockout curtains: For bedrooms or other rooms where you want complete darkness or light control, blockout or room-darkening curtains are your best option. They block out most of the light, offer privacy and are great for insulating rooms against heat and cold.
- Veri Shades®: This curtain offers the soft, flowing lines of sheer curtains and the functionality of blinds. Veri Shades® are perfect for doorways and provide both daytime and nighttime privacy.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CURTAINS FOR YOUR HOME?
Incorporating new curtains into your home can drastically change the look and feel of your spaces. Whether you want to soften the sunlight in your living room or add a layer of privacy to your bedroom, these window furnishings are a versatile and functional addition to any room.

- Add privacy to your home
- Control natural light
- Improve energy efficiency
- Enhance home décor
- Simplify maintenance
HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT CURTAINS FOR EVERY ROOM?
Selecting the right curtains for each room doesn't always mean opting for just the bestsellers or trending styles. When buying new curtains, consider not only the style but also your lifestyle and needs. Take these factors into account to help you pick the perfect curtains for every space:
- Lifestyle: If you’ve got a busy family home, opt for curtains that are tough and easy to clean. For areas meant to impress, such as formal living rooms, pick something more elegant and luxurious.
- Budget: Decide how much you want to spend. There are great options at every price point, so knowing your budget helps you make the right decision.
- Interior design: Match your curtains to the style of the room. Whether your home is modern, traditional or something unique, pick curtains that enhance your home décor.
- Curtain fabric: Do you need curtains that help keep the room warm or block out sunlight? The right fabric can make a big difference.
- Room position: Consider the direction your room faces. Sunny rooms or those with moisture might need different types of curtains than others. Also, think about how much privacy you need.
- Health factors: If dust allergies are an issue in your home, look for easy-to-clean options or switch to other window furnishings like plantation shutters, Venetian blinds, Roman blinds, roller blinds, vertical blinds or panel blinds.
Picking the right curtains can transform your space both in looks and comfort. At Carpet Court, we’ve got a range of options to suit all types of rooms and requirements. With over 200 stores across Australia, you're never far from finding the perfect window treatment that matches your home.

HOW TO CREATE NEW AREAS IN YOUR HOME WITH CURTAINS?
Adding curtains to your home lets you easily section off different areas for work, relaxation or play without major renovations. This allows you to adapt your space to fit your current needs and lifestyle. Here are some effective ways to use these window treatments for space division:
- Install a ceiling-mounted curtain rod to separate living and dining areas
- Use floor-to-ceiling curtains to establish a private home office space
- Hang sheer curtains for a light, airy divide that maintains an open feel
- Opt for heavyweight curtains to improve sound insulation between areas
- Select blockout curtains for creating a restful sleeping zone in studio apartments
SHOULD I USE CURTAIN TRACKS OR RODS?
Curtain tracks offer smooth and easy operation that’s perfect for frequent use. They’re great if you want a streamlined look without visible hardware. For added durability, opt for metal tracks instead of plastic ones.
For a sleek, clean look to your living space, curtain rods that fit seamlessly into modern and minimalist interiors are an excellent option. They require manual operation and a bit more effort compared to curtain tracks, but they can effectively enhance the look of your space.
When deciding between curtain tracks and curtain rods, consider both practicality and visual impact. Rods can add a decorative touch, while tracks offer functional simplicity.
CAN CURTAINS BE MOTORISED?
Yes, curtains can definitely be motorised! Motorisation and automation for window treatments make it easier to control light and privacy, which is especially handy for large windows or hard-to-reach areas.
At Carpet Court, all our curtains can be upgraded to motorised systems. Our range of motorised curtains includes options for every style and budget.
WHAT CURTAIN FABRICS ARE AVAILABLE?
Polyester and linen are popular options in our wide range of curtain fabrics.
Polyester curtains are known for their durability, easy care and affordability. Whether it’s a living room or a home office, they offer aesthetic appeal and functionality that make them a practical option for many Australian homes.
Linen curtains are known for their natural, elegant look. Linen provides a light and airy feel that’s perfect for spaces where you want to allow natural light in while maintaining privacy. They also add sophistication to living spaces and bedrooms.
We also offer sheer, light-filtering and blockout curtain fabrics. Sheer fabrics add a delicate, airy touch to any room while providing privacy and natural light, light-filtering fabrics soften daylight in a room without completely blocking it out and blockout fabrics ensure maximum privacy and darkness.
