Curtains & Blinds

TRANSFORM YOUR HOME WITH CURTAINS AND BLINDS

Curtains and blinds combine style and function to create beautiful and practical interiors. These window furnishings set the tone for your space, from flooding a room with natural light to adding warmth and privacy to a cosy corner.

When selecting the right option for your home, think about the type of window or door, your interior style and practical needs like privacy, light filtering or insulation. With a wide range of curtains and blinds at Carpet Court, you’ll find plenty of options to suit your needs and preferences.

HOW TO DECIDE BETWEEN CURTAINS AND BLINDS

Finding the right window treatment depends on your needs and desired look. Curtains add warmth, texture and a soft touch to your rooms, while blinds give a clean and streamlined appearance. If you want the benefits of both, layering curtains and blinds can give you better light control and insulation.

To help you pick new curtains or blinds that work best for you, here’s what we recommend:

• Think about your needs: Do you need light filtering, blockout or insulation? Curtains and blinds handle these in their own way.
• Match your style: Curtains work well with classic or cosy interiors, while blinds suit minimalist or contemporary spaces.
• Consider practicality: Blinds are great for sliding panels or easy-to-reach areas, while curtains are perfect for larger windows or layered looks.

POPULAR CURTAIN AND BLIND STYLES IN AUSTRALIA

At Carpet Court, we offer a wide range of curtains and blinds to suit different styles, budgets and needs. Here are some of the most popular options:

• Venetian and vertical blinds: Venetian blinds are practical and stylish, with horizontal slats that offer easy light and privacy control. For a sleeker alternative, vertical blinds feature adjustable slats that fit seamlessly into both modern and traditional spaces.
• Panel glide blinds and Veri Shades®: Panel blinds work perfectly for large windows or sliding doors, with smooth operation and fabric options for light filtering or blockout. For a more versatile option, try Veri Shades®, which combines the elegance of curtains with the functionality of blinds.
• Plantation shutters: Plantation shutters provide a timeless look with a durable faux wood finish. They are great for improving insulation, managing light and maintaining privacy in any room.
• Roman and roller Blinds: Roman blinds add warmth and texture with soft fabrics that fold neatly, which create a sophisticated and cosy feel. To maintain a streamlined look, opt for roller blinds with a roll-up design that tucks away neatly when not in use.
• Curtains: Curtains bring comfort and style, with options like flowing S-Wave and S-Fold designs that create a modern, relaxed look. Sheer curtains allow soft light to filter through, while blockout curtains provide privacy and help control the amount of light in any room.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN WINDOW FURNISHINGS

Finding the right curtains and blinds is about more than just style. Your window coverings should work for your lifestyle, meet your needs and complement your décor, which is why they need to balance practicality and design.

To help you make the best decision, consider these key factors:

• Think about functionality: Look for features like insulation to keep your home comfortable in every season or UV protection to prevent furniture and floors from fading.
• Consider the room’s needs: Use moisture-resistant materials for kitchens and bathrooms, and focus on light control or privacy for spaces like bedrooms and living rooms.
• Look at durability and upkeep: Opt for curtain fabrics or blind finishes that are easy to clean and maintain, especially in high-traffic areas or homes with kids and pets.

ARE CUSTOM-MADE CURTAINS WORTH IT?

Yes, custom-made curtains and blinds are absolutely worth it. They’re designed to fit perfectly, leaving no gaps for light or heat to escape or enter. This improves light filtering and heat control and gives your home a refreshed, designer-inspired look. They’re also a great option for windows and doors with unconventional sizes.

WHY MOTORISED CURTAINS AND BLINDS ARE POPULAR

With motorisation, you can control them using a remote control or even through your smartphone or smart home system. This means no more manual adjustments or tangled cords. They’re perfect for your living room, bedroom or any space you want to make more convenient and functional.
