PURE LUXURY SHEERS AND CURTAINS
SHEERS
Sheer curtains have come full circle and are once again a popular choice for window furnishings. Their resurgence is due to more than just their visual elegance; they offer privacy without blocking the view. Additionally, sheers are often more affordable than full drapes since they don’t require lining and are available in continuous lengths. You can select from a variety of colors and textures. For instance, black sheer curtains can create striking focal points, while white sheers provide a serene ambiance. Browse our Gold Cost projects and image gallery for inspiration today.

Curtains & Drapes
Curtains as with sheers have also made a come-back in recent years. Nowadays the fabrics are far more modern, stain resistant, machine washable and iron-free. They also help keep a room cool in summer, protect furnishings and floor coverings and prevent heat loss in winter. There are many options for heading styles from the traditional double-pinch pleat, triple- pinch pleat to more modern styles like the reverse box pleat or wave-fold or s-fold tracking systems. There are countless styles of single and double tracking systems, motorised options, tassels and trimmings on the market to suit the style of your home.

Custom Curtains Gold Coast
Custom curtains on the Gold Coast are available in every imaginable style, and we can even source unusual prints and designs, or create completely new designs based on images provided by you. Of course the more unique or rare the design you want is, the higher the price is likely to be, but this is to be expected when you seek out the obscure.
Otherwise our prices are not beyond reach. Anything that must be custom made will always involve more work than buying “off the rack”, and everyone buying custom understands this also increases the cost. The advantage of having curtains custom made is that you have absolute control over every aspect, ensuring you get exactly the look you want, and fitting your window spaces perfectly.
Custom Made Curtains Gold Coast
When you are choosing something like custom made curtains for your Gold Coast home, you have so much control, and so it is important to put a lot of thought into the choices you will make. The more you plan in advance, and the more you consult with us before the actual work commences, the easier it will be to get a perfect result while also keeping the cost down as much as possible.
For most windows, it is best to use two layers of curtains. The first layer would consist of sheer curtains, which allow more privacy while still allowing natural daylight to enter the room. The second layer would consist of heavier opaque curtains to block as much light and heat as possible.
The Leading Custom Curtains On The Gold Coast
Proper use of heavy curtains will boost the energy efficiency of your home, having a direct effect on your energy costs. During the day, the curtains help to block heat and surplus light from getting in. At night they can help prevent heat from leaking out, and also reduce the amount of light that escapes.
Windows tend to become very cold at night, which acts like a siphon for heat, transferring it to the outside air in accordance with the law of thermodynamics. The thicker and heavier your Gold Coast custom curtains are, the more insulating effect you can expect them to have.
Thus the main things to think about are the thickness and porosity of the material you are going to choose. These will have the most determination over how much light and heat energy can penetrate them.
Colour is another factor to consider. Generally speaking, and especially for homes located on the Gold Coast, it is desirable to have your primary curtain layer to have a pure white backing fabric. This causes the maximum amount of light to be reflected back away from the room interior. This white backing is stitched onto a thicker and darker layer of material which will face into the room.
Energy performance is only one aspect to colour choice, however. You also need to think about:
- How well does the curtain colour co-ordinate with the colour of the wall?
- What mood does the colour fit? Is it a cool colour? Warm colour? Neutral colour?
- Will it be a solid colour, or will it have some kind of print or pattern?
Then there is the material itself to think about. Ideally, it is best to choose natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk, and so on. These tend to absorb less heat than man-made textiles, and will generally give a nicer appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between curtains and sheers?
Curtains are typically made from heavier fabrics and are used to block out light and provide privacy, whilst coming in an array of colours including neutrals. Sheers, on the other hand, are made from lightweight, translucent fabrics that allow light to filter through while still offering some level of privacy from the outside in.
Can I use curtains and sheers together?
Absolutely! Curtains and sheers pair well together. In fact, using curtains and sheers together can create a layered look that adds depth and style to your windows. Sheers can be used to diffuse light during the day, while curtains can be drawn for privacy and light control in the evening.
How do I choose the right curtain length?
Choosing the right length can be a designer challenge. Overall, curtain length depends on the look you want to achieve. Floor-length are ideal for a formal look, while puddle-length curtains (which extend slightly onto the floor) add a touch of luxury to your interior.
What materials are best for curtains?
Cotton and linen are great for a casual look and are easy to maintain. Velvet and silk offer a more luxurious feel and are great for formal spaces. Polyester is durable and super easy to clean, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas.
How do I clean my curtains and sheers?
Some curtains and sheers can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a mild washing detergent. However, always discuss the care options with our team to ensure you clean them correctly. We recommend that for delicate fabrics like silk or velvet, professional cleaning is recommended.
How do I measure my windows for curtains?
To measure for curtains, you’ll need the width and height of your window. For width, measure the window frame and add extra for fullness (typically 1.5 to 3 times the width). For height, measure from the top of the window frame to where you want the curtain to end, whether that be to the floor or bottom of the window.
