Choosing the right curtain for your Surf Coast home

When it comes to selecting curtains on the Surf Coast, it’s not just about style, it’s about choosing the right solution for light control, privacy, and your home’s unique coastal conditions. From sheer curtains that let in soft, natural light to blockout curtains that offer total privacy and insulation, there’s a wide range of options to suit every window and lifestyle.

At Blinds With An Edge, we specialise in made-to-measure curtains that are tailored to the needs of Surf Coast homes. Whether you’re in Torquay, Anglesea or surrounding areas, our expert team measures, makes, and installs curtains that enhance your space, protect your interiors, and help you enjoy every room to its fullest.

Sheer or blockout? Understanding curtain choices

Sheer curtains are a popular choice along the Surf Coast, allowing gentle daylight to filter through while still offering a level of daytime privacy. They’re perfect for living areas where you want to soften sunlight without blocking it entirely. Their light, airy feel also complements many coastal interior styles.

For bedrooms or media rooms where privacy and darkness are essential, blockout curtains are a smart option. They help reduce light intrusion at night, improve insulation, and can even help manage indoor temperatures, especially important for homes exposed to full sun or strong sea breezes.

Many Surf Coast homeowners choose to layer sheer and blockout curtains, creating a versatile system that adapts to the time of day and your needs for privacy, light, or warmth.

Pleated curtains for timeless style

Pleated curtains remain a classic and functional choice. Available in styles like pencil pleat, pinch pleat or S-fold, they offer a structured look that suits both modern and traditional interiors. Pleats also help fabric fall neatly, giving your curtains a consistent shape and finish.

At Blinds With An Edge, our team helps you select the right pleat style and fabric to suit your space, taking into account window size, ceiling height, and overall room design.

Why professional installation matters

Measuring and installing curtains might seem straightforward, but to get it right, experience counts. Our local team ensures your curtains fit perfectly and operate smoothly. With tailored advice on track placement and curtain drop, we take the guesswork out of your window furnishings.

We also help you match new curtains with your existing blinds, flooring, or furniture, ensuring your home feels cohesive and well thought-out. Whether you want to add softness to a room or create a bold statement with rich fabrics, we guide you through every decision.
